EPI as an Employer

Help shape the future of media education with us.


The Erich Pommer Institut is more than a continuing education provider. We are an independent industry think tank, a hub for the German and European media sector, and a team that works every day to support careers — including those of our own staff.

If you are looking to work in a committed, diverse environment that is closely connected to the realities of the media industry, we would love to hear from you.

What we stand for

At EPI, you do not just carry out tasks — you contribute. We are a small, highly motivated team, which means your work is visible, your ideas are heard, and you are trusted to take ownership.

As a non-profit organisation, we are not driven by profit — we are driven by purpose. Our work spans media management, media law, production, diversity, female leadership, and everything in between. What you do here has real impact.

We believe in a working culture where trust, openness, and personal development are not aspirational values printed on a wall — they are how we actually operate.

How we work

We are a team that supports one another — across projects, roles, and disciplines. Our culture is shaped by mutual respect, flat hierarchies, and a genuine interest in each other's work and wellbeing. There is space here for professional exchange and for a conversation over coffee on the rooftop terrace.

Diversity is not a compliance exercise for us — it is a conviction. We welcome applications regardless of gender, nationality, background, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, or identity. We mean it.

We also believe that you do not need to meet every requirement on a job description to do the role brilliantly. Enthusiasm and a willingness to learn count just as much as experience.
