The Costa Group with their brands AIDA and Costa operates Europe’s largest and most advanced cruise fleet, with ships that can accommodate from 1.600 to 5.000 guests, offering technological innovations, numerous works of art, state-of-the-art spas, splendid theaters and show lounges, a large choice of excellent restaurants and quality bars.

The Costa Digital Unit in Hamburg is driving the digital transformation at the Costa Group. With skill, passion and a deep understanding of design and technology we create cruise experiences that our customers love to return to.
We confess, we're driven. Driven to excel, to evolve and to take customer's satisfaction to the next level. We don’t believe in working waterfall methods and setting deadlines but achieving goals! We do not do projects, but we build products. Products that we are proud to support, maintain and grow.

As a Junior Business Manager Digital Unit you are going to collaborate closely with all colleagues within the entire Digital Unit: the product owners, the development team as well as with our designers and analysts – you are to be the glue of our Unit.

Besides our focus on the customer and our product development, however, we need to ensure the best support in our analytical and financial management processes.
