Best jobs in Germany for English speakers

The best jobs in Germany for English speakers in a Top 10 list. I analyse the complete German jobmarket in regard to career opportunities for international professionals.

The Top 10 best jobs in Germany

It’s pretty clear where the demand is in Germany – and where not:

  1. Software Developer
  2. Web Developer
  3. Sales Manager
  4. SAP Consultant
  5. Account Manager
  6. Product Manager
  7. Business Development Manager
  8. Project Leader
  9. Customer Support Consultant
  10. IT Manager

Interesting to note: The required education for these jobs is relatively low. You need a University degree, but in most cases a bachelor will do. Two thirds of all English jobs advertised in Germany require only a bachelor degree.

If your university degree is accepted as “of equal value” by the German authorities then the legal requirements to get a visa (if needed) are relatively low: You need a job offer with a contract and you need a certain minimum salary – which you will exceed in most of these high demand professions, anyway.

Get 100 German companies that hire in English!

It is important to understand that only a small percentage of jobs in Germany are advertised in English. For the best jobs in Germany the percentage is higher, but still much lower than in other parts of the world. For example: Less than nine percent of all software developer jobs in Germany are advertised in English. And even then the job requirements might list “fluent German required”.

There is a way to overcome this obstacle, though. Over the years I have helped over 100 international professionals to get a job in Germany. My clients come from all kind of professional backgrounds and from all over the world.

To get you started I prepared a list of 100 German companies that hire in English. Subscribe below to get the list and some good advice.

I wish you success!

    Course: Start here!

    January 25, 2023
    Summer 2013. My fellow students looked intently at the photos of the two men that I had projected onto the screen. I had to prepare a short presentation for a term paper. I decided to do a little experiment instead. I explained the task to my fellow students: You are asked to interview a candidate for the position of Finance Director. But you can only choose one of the two. Which one are you inviting and why?” Three quarters of my classmates chose the gentleman with white hair - and white skin. Only a quarter w voted for the man with black hair and "southern complexion". The dark-skinned man was Carlos Slim, then the richest man in the world. The white man was the fraudster Bernard L. Madoff.
