Market Development Officer — Germany & Austria

École de la Montagne (EDLM) is a French mountain education school helping people become autonomous in mountaineering, ski touring and climbing. Our programmes combine practical training with mountain guides, online learning, mentoring and a community of mountain enthusiasts. We are preparing our international expansion for 2027.

Help develop and run EDLM’s mountaineering and ski touring programmes in Germany and Austria, with a first launch planned for 2027.

You will also build local partnerships and help adapt our programmes and communication to local learners.
