XING is the social network for business professionals with millions
of members all over the world. Help us shape the future – for a better
working life! In our Barcelona office, we are looking for an experienced

Within our team, you will work on existing and new products that engage
users to communicate offline and online.
At XING Events located in Munich and Barcelona we are responsible for
the events and communities part of the XING social network. Our goal is
to create valuable experiences for our users by engaging with other
users, either in an offline event or meeting, or in one of our many
online communities. For that we are offering e.g. the events market
(xing.com/events), the communities (xing.com/communities) and also an
online event ticketing solution
(en.xing-events.com/our-services/ticketing). We are a XING SE subsidiary
currently employing around 80 people. Always keeping our vision in
mind: “For people moments that matter”.
