• A proven track record in managing projects and budgets, with a solid understanding of the Data & AI lifecycle, from data strategy to production-grade solutions.

• Experience taking GenAI or agentic AI use cases beyond the proof-of-concept stage.
• Confidence with senior stakeholders and complex organisations, and the ability to turn ambiguity into a clear plan.
• A down-to-earth, entrepreneurial and pragmatic attitude; you are a doer who can also think big.
• Excellent professional English; German is a plus.
• A university degree in business, engineering, computer science or a related field.

What we offer:
