Germany's largest mobile carrier modernizing telecom infrastructure with 5G, IoT, and AI
Telefónica Germany (O2) operates Germany's largest mobile subscriber base while undergoing digital transformation. The hiring profile is heavily sales-weighted (181 roles across 266 active openings), pointing to aggressive customer acquisition in enterprise and SME segments—especially around 5G/IoT propositions for industry verticals. Active projects span digital service delivery, AI implementation in core processes, and process mining governance, while pain points cluster around SME customer acquisition, legacy system modernization (SAP interface monitoring, HR system upgrades), and shifting from product-centric to customer-oriented marketing. The stack reflects a traditional telco transition: Salesforce, SAP, Power BI for operations alongside emerging Celonis process-mining adoption.
Telefónica Germany (operating under the O2 premium brand) is the largest mobile network operator by customer base in Germany and part of the Spanish parent company Telefónica S.A., which employs 130,000 people across 21 countries. The business serves consumers, SMEs, and enterprises with mobile, fixed-line, IoT, and 5G services. Current operational focus includes building enterprise solutions around 5G slicing and IoT for industrial, utility, transport, and defense customers; modernizing legacy finance and HR processes; and developing a scalable digital services portfolio. The company is headquartered in Munich and actively hiring across sales, marketing, and technical roles in Germany.
