About the job

You know how to reach people, tell stories, build bridges and get messages across clearly? You move confidently between media work as well as internal and external communication? Then help us shape communication.

Working for a well-functioning public transport system for the Zug region – with heart and commitment. We are moving together and ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

If you seek meaning in your work and enjoy shaping things, you are in the right place with us. You can expect thorough induction, fair conditions and benefits that really matter. With us, it’s not just about what you can do – but also who you are and how you contribute.
