Qualifications

Your profile

• Completed studies in computer science, data science, AI or a related technical field
• 5 years of experience in project/program management in technology or digital environments and in agile methods (Scrum/Kanban)
• Practical experience with AI/ML initiatives, including an understanding of the differences between classical software development and AI development cycles, agentic AI concepts, and LLM-based systems.
• Staying up-to-date regarding current developments in the AI ​​industry, including actively trying them out.
• Experience in regulated industries (e.g., financial services, healthcare, or similar) is an advantage.
• A structured, proactive work style and the ability to navigate confidently even in an environment characterized by uncertainty.
• Excellent communication skills in German and English, as well as the ability to lead through expertise and diplomacy.
