At MONDRAGON we believe there’s a different way of doing things

Made by people, for people

The MONDRAGON cooperative experience is a global benchmark in a way of doing business, where your voice counts, your vote matters, and you play a leading role. Your place to grow, contribute, and truly be yourself. 

Here, we work based on principles of equality, shared responsibility, and solidarity. We engage, express our views, and make decisions together. We collaborate, support one another, and make decisions the way we believe they should be made together, all of us.

That is why we are Humanity at Work.

We do this through an open ecosystem of collaboration: 12 technology centres, our own university, and a strong network of global partners.

You’ll join multidisciplinary teams tackling real-world challenges and delivering practical, sustainable solutions.

Work with a purpose

MONDRAGON was born with a clear purpose: to build a fairer, more sustainable, and more human society.

We’re creating a legacy for future generations — a legacy of competitive businesses rooted in their communities and guided by a forward-thinking vision. Enterprises that generate not only economic value, but also social value.

We create quality employment — Jobs that encourage participation in results and decision-making, support professional development, and promote a more equitable distribution of wealth. Workplaces where people matter, take part, and grow.

We promote innovative social initiatives to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s challenges, strengthen our communities, and care for the planet.

Make your mark. Be part of the change.
