About the role

  • Lead projects: Take ownership of digital projects from initiation to launch.
  • Structure & execution: Plan, structure and drive projects with clarity and vision, working closely with our clients and technical leads from our teams.
  • Alignment between client and technology: Identify customer needs, translate them into clear, actionable steps for the team, monitor progress and detect obstacles early.
  • Advise and understand: Conduct client conversations and user interviews, gather feedback, and proactively advise your clients to enable informed decision-making.
  • Support, develop and lead teams: Support your development team (2–5 people) throughout the entire project lifecycle.
  • Be hands-on: Despite strategic responsibility, stay close to the project, organize GitHub tasks, support testing and quality assurance, and contribute actively.
  • Act proactively: Spot risks early, develop smart solutions, and think one step ahead in projects.

Requirements

  • Project leadership experience: You have several years of experience managing complex (tech) projects with high personal responsibility, composure and structure.
  • Tech-driven mindset: You are tech-affine (a development background or personal tech projects are helpful but not required) and can capture technical requirements clearly and communicate them precisely and constructively between different stakeholders.
  • Hands-on mentality: You actively shape outcomes, ensure pace and quality, and are not afraid to dive into details when necessary.
  • Clear communication: You communicate clearly, in a structured way, and fluently in German and English.
  • High-performance mindset: You think ahead, tackle challenges, respond flexibly to change, take responsibility, and go the extra mile to find pragmatic solutions.
  • Residency in Germany: You are registered as a resident in Germany and can work remotely or come to our Cologne office whenever it suits you.
Benefits
  • Work with real impact: Work on projects that make a difference — from digitizing leading companies to innovations in open source, blockchain, or AI.
  • Growth & development: Collaborate with experienced colleagues at a high level and set new standards together.
  • Work with strong people: Join a motivated, competent team that holds itself to high standards and delivers top-level projects together.
  • Modern work culture: We work with clear structures like the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to achieve ambitious goals together.
  • Team & fun: Become part of a team that values humor, initiative and shared experiences — with regular team events and offsites.
  • Flexibility: Work remotely, from our Cologne office, or in whatever setup works best for you.
