There are countless good reasons to pick ERGO as an employer. Whether you’re at the start or end of your career or somewhere in the middle, we offer varied development opportunities in all departments and at all levels, both in Germany and abroad. In us, you’ll find an employer who keeps their promises – about pay, perks, compatibility of family and career and advanced training opportunities. If you work for us, you’ll experience a fair and open minded culture where every employee is trusted and valued. Limitless career opportunities. ERGO currently operates in around 25 European and Asian countries, with over 20 percent and rising of our premium revenues coming from outside Germany. We work very closely with all our foreign subsidiaries, meaning you can pursue a truly global career while still being based in Germany.
As an employer, we promote agile ways of working, the use and development of new technologies and changed methods to drive the cultural change process in the long term. Support us in the digital transformation. Grow with us: we promote your professional and personal development with tailored training and development programs. Based on our values, we offer a healthy environment and freedom so that you can identify with your work, contribute, develop and flourish. We offer a positive working atmosphere in which individual needs and mutual consideration are paramount. As a Group, we offer security and a wide range of development prospects. Balancing work and family life is possible with us thanks to a variety of working time models. In addition, we offer attractive employer benefits: from flexible working hours to the provision of modern technological equipment, many sports and health offers, financial advantages as well as an attractive salary package and above-average social and health services. Our Düsseldorf location in the center of the city offers you a good infrastructure and short commutes.
For us, New Work is an attitude that requires personal responsibility and enables flexibility. This includes an attractive working environment as well as the possibility of mobile working. The office is a place where people meet and exchange ideas, work together and with each other, where they can discuss problems over coffee or lunch and find solutions. Modern, digital tools support hybrid collaboration. Mobile working is currently possible for up to 40 percent of monthly working hours (from January 2024 up to 50 percent) and offers the flexibility to organize one's own work in the best possible way.
If you find your way to ERGO, we will be delighted to welcome you and hope you will feel at home right away. We will therefore do everything in our power to make your first days with us as pleasant as possible, for example with the following:
We attach particular importance to integrating you quickly into our teams and offering you a first-rate induction programme. The perfect start – you will become an ERGO specialist in no time!
The time you join ERGO is the right time to start writing your own success story. This is because professional development is a central part of our philosophy: we give all our staff the opportunity to develop, both personally and professionally. Do you want to take on management tasks, make use of your strengths and skills in a different area, or undertake a course of further training that will qualify you to perform different tasks or take you further along your career path? No matter what your goal may be, you can count on our support!
There are plenty of examples: from an integrated degree in business informatics or employment as an application developer to on-the-job training for a certificate in project management – all this is ERGO. You might be a parent who works part-time and from a home office as needed, gradually moves up and then takes on the responsibilities of a group manager at age 50. Or you might start out as an IT coordinator, be promoted to group manager and then to head of department responsible for more than 90 staff at several locations – all this is possible! Just tell us where you want to go. Together we will find the way there. No matter whether you are a trainee or a specialist with years of experience: we will help you achieve your goals.

ERGO is sporty. Thousands of staff regularly take part in the sporting activities organised by our company sports groups: aerobics, soccer, Nordic walking, Pilates, spinal exercises, TrophoTraining, qi gong, tai chi, Feldenkrais and much more.
