Very good German, working English and availability for assignments and travel within Southern Bavaria.

You are employed by EPV. The location, scope and authority of a specific client assignment are agreed separately. The 12-month employment is not the duration of an individual assignment; its end does not automatically end employment. A statutory managing-director appointment, if applicable, is agreed separately.

02 / The EPV approach

Clear expectations. Human relationships.

Problem before solution. Cause before measure. Responsibility before title. EPV combines commercial judgement, operational depth and human clarity. We consider experience, transferable skills and potential in the actual task context, not just linear CVs. AI and digital tools support the work; responsibility and hiring decisions remain with people.

For us, Excellence means sound judgement. Performance means reliable execution. Value means an outcome that matters to businesses and people. We expect dependability and offer it in return: clear tasks, direct collaboration and honest feedback.

03 / What we offer

Good work needs good conditions.

30 days of annual leave on a five-day working week; adjusted for fewer working days.
Company car including private use; the specific arrangement and tax treatment are explained in the offer.
MacBook and iPhone, with an iPad where needed; suitable software including EPV │ OS and Microsoft 365. Private device use is permitted under the IT rules.
An annual €500 learning budget and one paid learning day, aligned with your development and role.
A monthly €50 non-cash benefit in addition to salary, delivered through a suitable solution under the applicable tax conditions.
Predictable, flexible working hours with agreed availability and alignment to the assignment. No blanket expectation of round-the-clock availability.

04 / Getting acquainted

Get to know each other. Make a clear decision.

A short professional overview and your motivation are enough for the first contact; a professional profile link is optional. No photo, identity copy or salary history is required.
Fernando Santoro reviews your application personally. We discuss the role, working model, expectations and questions openly. You receive the specific compensation range before the first interview.
For leadership roles, we discuss a relevant professional situation: context, decisions, your contribution and impact. No unpaid consulting work for real clients.
Before deciding, we clarify responsibilities, conditions and contract details in writing. We request references only by agreement. You receive a clear response; your application is not automatically forwarded to clients.

We welcome different career paths and perspectives. What matters is suitability, collaboration and the actual role, not gender, background, age or an uninterrupted CV. Please let us know if you need an adjustment in the application process.
