Careers

The history of JCDecaux is linked to that of its founder, Jean-Claude Decaux, who in 1964 invented a concept that would travel the world: advertising street furniture. JCDecaux provides towns and cities with high-quality street furniture free of charge, which is maintained by the company and financed by brand advertising. Since the invention of this unique model and the advertising bus shelter in 1964, JCDecaux has become the world leader in outdoor advertising in 2011, with a presence in more than 80 countries. This history of growth is based on the talent, skill and determination of each and every JCDecaux employee to always think big and see far.

Our street furniture, with its iconic designs and innovative functionalities, provides useful infrastructure and services for cities, transport operators and citizens. JCDecaux’s activities and business lines are anchored in the heart of the regions, as close as possible to its facilities, clients and advertising customers. JCDecaux generates economic and social value by creating jobs wherever the company moves in, and helps develop regional economies.

Conducted on an unprecedented global scale, the Utopies study demonstrates JCDecaux's positive socioeconomic footprint in all its operating locations: in 2022, the Group's business activities supported almost 120,000 jobs around the world (41% of this figure in Europe).

Innovation enables us to constantly anticipate new uses, to contribute to inventing the city of tomorrow and to make places of mobility ever more comfortable, pleasant and useful. From the outset, JCDecaux has relied on a strong capacity for innovation, an ambitious Research & Development policy and integrated teams to offer ever more services to its partners and users, while always striving to beautify the environments in which it operates. The rapid development of our digital assets offers new ways of informing and enhancing the experience of city dwellers and travelers.

The transformation of outdoor advertising is accelerating, based on a digital ecosystem fueled by data and programmatic buying and selling methods. Supported by expert teams, these transformations are making our medium more effective, contextual and service-oriented every day.

With more than 400 professions throughout the Group, JCDecaux offers a diversity of opportunities. Field staff member, bicycle technician, data analyst, developer, engineer, lawyer, sales manager... Each profession contributes to improving the quality of urban life and developing our media by combining performance, utility and sustainability. 

Training is also an essential element for the development of
employees, with a broad range of training courses made available to employees by the Group and its subsidiaries. 

The creation of JCDecaux's "Sales Intelligence Hub" is an example of this approach: this platform gathered more that 1,100 sales professionals in 2023, through 15 live sessions across 55 countries (Asia, Europe, Middle-East, Latin America).

In our family-owned company with a strong corporate culture, 95% of our employees express pride in belonging and 89% feel good at work (internal survey June 2023). These results are the fruit of a social and managerial policy resolutely focused on the meaning of action, around a clear mission: to sustainably improve the quality of life in the city. And beyond that, by translating this mission into concrete action. As a useful and sustainable media, almost 50% of our sales are eligible for taxonomy, demonstrating our contribution to the ecological transition.

JCDecaux pays particular attention to the development of its employees, offering them training, professional development and career advancement opportunities.

The creation of the JCDecaux Sales Intelligence Hub is a good example of this. This platform, dedicated to JCDecaux sales people, brought together more than 1100 employees in 2023, around 15 live sessions, in 55 countries (Asia, Europe, Middle East, Latin America).

Respect for non-discrimination values is an integral part of JCDecaux's International Charter of Fundamental Social Values, through which the Group undertakes to apply the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), non-discrimination and equal pay.
