Senior Data & AI Project Management (m/f/d) - Public Sector

We are looking for you starting today in our Berlin office!

Do data and artificial intelligence speak your language? Then these will be your new tasks:

• You will take responsibility for complex data and AI projects in the public sector and know the specific conditions, processes, and decision-making paths in authorities, public bodies, or public-sector-related organizations.
• Acquiring new projects is just as much a part of your responsibilities as participating in public tenders and procurement procedures. In doing so, you will identify new market opportunities, develop strong customer relationships, and accompany the entire application process.
• In your role, you will independently manage data-driven AI and IT integration projects through all project phases. You will ensure that the agreed-upon quality, budget, and timeline goals are reliably achieved.
• You will be the central point of contact for our customers and ensure long-term customer satisfaction through a partnership-based approach. At the same time, you will actively drive the strategic development of existing customers and initiate follow-up projects.
• Professional stakeholder management is a matter of course for you: you will coordinate diverse interests from the client side, actively manage expectations, and work closely with internal departments such as implementation, controlling, partner management, and management.
• Furthermore, you will be responsible for creating and managing project plans, milestones, resource allocation, and budget reviews. Moderating workshops, steering committees, project meetings, and reviews, including follow-up actions, complete your scope of responsibility.

Is data also in your DNA? Here's what you should bring with you:

• You have many years of experience in managing complex transformation projects in the fields of AI, data, or IT, and you have already successfully led large project teams and budgets.
• You are familiar with topics such as Data Engineering, Analytics, or Data Science, and you understand the technical and organizational interdependencies of modern data platforms.
• Ideally, you already have experience supporting projects with authorities, ministries, public bodies, or other public-sector organizations and know the specifics of public procurement.
• You have experience with tenders and bidding processes and understand the requirements of public clients.
• You confidently and practically use classic and agile project management methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, or hybrid models.
• Knowledge of industry specifics in the public sector, defense and security, or regulated industries is an advantage. Experience in other industries such as automotive, finance, transport, energy, or healthcare is also welcome.
• You convince with a confident demeanor, strong communication skills, and a high degree of structure – both in German and English.
• Certifications in recognized project management frameworks such as PRINCE2, Scrum, SAFe, or similar standards are a plus.
• You work independently, are result-oriented, and deliver a high level of quality. You maintain an overview and act professionally even in challenging project situations.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, initiative, and the drive to create sustainable added value for customers distinguish you.
• Personally, you score with team spirit, resilience, flexibility, and the ability to solve problems pragmatically and creatively.
