Join the Jazzfestival Team!

Every year, about 170 helpers work in various departments at the Jazzfestival Saalfelden and make an important contribution to a successful festival weekend. Find out more about working at the Jazzfestival and apply now for the 46th edition from 20 - 23 August 2026.

We are looking forward to you!

OUR WORKING AREAS

At the Jazzfestival, there will be performed on about 13 different stages in and around Saalfelden. Especially for the entrance controls at the bigger locations Mainstage and Gruberhalle we need a few helping hands. Your task is to welcome the visitors, while you also get the chance to experience the concerts live and closely.

Our camping guests travel from many countries to Saalfelden and spend their festival stay at our campsite. As a campsite supervisor, you welcome arriving guests, assign them their pitches, and provide information on where to check in and how to complete payment.

 

The position has been managed by the same person for many years, who is now retiring. This year includes a joint onboarding and handover period, allowing you to take over the role independently from next year onwards.

 

Enjoyment in working with people, reliability, and strong organizational skills are required, as well as a willingness to take on this role on a long-term basis.

The VIP area is the number one meeting place, where artists, event organizers, journalists as well as VIP guests gather. Together with your colleagues you will take care of the physical well-being of the guests with a lot of friendliness. 

Serving skills are advantageous.

You can't decide whether you prefer to work in concert venues or in the service? Then you are just the right person for our bar in the location Gruberhalle. There you can combine both and enjoy a lot of jazz music while doing something good for our visitors.

You are versatile, enduring and you have fun with physical work? If so, you're the ideal choice for our diversified working area in the park! There you will keep the location in good shape, make sure that there are always enough drinks in the bars and much more.

Traffic chaos is a thorn in everyone's side - especially during the festival. As a parking lot attendant, you can prevent this and also stop parking violators from blocking reserved parking spaces.

Here you are literally backstage and can go behind the scenes of the stage construction. Together with our stage and technique crew you will provide our artists with an optimal stage set-up and enable great sounds.

Working makes us hungry and that's why we need you to take care of the physical well-being of over 200 accredited employees and to keep the staff area in good shape. Your big advantage: you have the shortest way to many delicious snacks!

As an artist support person, you will be the first point of contact for our artists and will fulfill all their wishes. You will work closely with musicians from all over the world, which is why a good knowledge of English is a prerequisite and knowledge of other foreign languages is advantageous.

Our artists travel to Saalfelden from all over the world. As a shuttle driver, you will pick them up from the airport or take them from point A to B during the festival.

A class B driving licence and good driving skills are required & a minimum age of 21 years.

YOUR BENEFITS

As a staff member, you play an important role in making the International Jazzfestival Saalfelden an unforgettable experience for the visitors.
