Let’s talk Athlon

Hi there! We're Athlon. The international market leader in modern mobility solutions and part of the Mercedes-Benz Group. With a rich history of more than a hundred years, you can conclude that we have already covered the necessary kilometers. Do we take that lead for granted? Absolutely not. It makes us more ambitious to provide even better personal service to our customers. Together with around 1,700 colleagues, we are shaping sustainable mobility. We're proud of that. From vehicle leasing to fleet solutions and from electrification to contributions to the sharing economy.

Leave it to us

Committed, open and result-oriented. This is the best way to summarize our working atmosphere. We use many different applications and services, so collaboration is an important factor within our domain. In addition, we are constantly looking at points for improvement and ways to set up our working method more efficiently. All customers, lease drivers, suppliers and colleagues rely on our systems. We arrange it, or as we like to say "Lights on! We make sure everything works well."

“Every team has its own rhythm, and it’s up to you to discover what drives progress and what holds it back. You’ll foster collaboration, promote psychological safety, and create a culture where transparency and continuous learning thrive. The best part? You won’t be doing it alone. At Athlon, our Scrum Masters work as a real community—sharing lessons, challenges, and successes—so that together we grow stronger, sprint by sprint.” Jacco van de Vijver Head of DevOps & IT Talent Development
