SEO Manager - 1 year contract

About Miele   
 
What does it take for a family-run company to become world market leader in the premium domestic appliance segment? It takes more than offering average products, run-of-the-mill service or short-sighted actions. It also requires the aspiration to do it forever better and to be forever better. This stance accounts for a good working environment at Miele and the success of our products. Our colleagues can rest assured that those who live up to our standards of quality and professionalism grow personally and professionally. No matter if they are apprentices or managers.
