Project Manager (f/m/d)

Nox is aiming to become the best alternative to short-haul flights by soon offering premium overnight trains across Europe. With a radically redesigned interior and onboard experience, people travel in style, saving time being asleep. We now search for the most passionate and talented people out there to bring the first of many more Nox trains on the tracks.

We believe in strong teams through diversity, fresh thinking, and a shared commitment to build something meaningful. Apart from that, these things are important to us:

• Stay real. From intern to CEO, everyone will work at least two cabin crew shifts a year
• Own it. Take responsibility from day one to shape Nox with your personal touch
• Challenge. Question legacy thinking and push ideas that really excite our customers
