About us
The appliedAI Initiative elevates Europe’s industry to become shapers in the age of AI, creating a future that we desire to live in. Through our ecosystem of strong partners, comprehensive programs, services and solutions we advance companies holistically on their AI journey. With our uniquely diverse, interdisciplinary, and driven team, we build on deep technical expertise while specializing on applicability of the solutions. We share a mindset of collaboration and openness with our ecosystem of leading companies and tech players. Our common goal is to strengthen the European landscape, jointly creating unique knowledge for applying trustworthy AI. We believe that AI Agents will be the dominant topic for AI in the near future and that appliedAI with its partner ecosystem will impact how this technology is being used in industry and beyond in Europe.
Your mission
As a Senior AI Project Manager (m/f/x), you are the technical backbone of our customer engagements. You don't just manage timelines — you deeply understand the AI solutions your team is building and ensure they deliver real impact. You thrive at the intersection of hands-on technical work and customer-facing delivery, translating complex AI capabilities into tangible business outcomes. Working closely with our AI Engineering teams, AI Strategists, and a diverse ecosystem of external partners, you take ownership of AI projects from scoping through to successful delivery. 
Your tasks will include:
  • Technical Project Leadership: Lead AI projects end-to-end — from requirements engineering and solution architecture through implementation to delivery. Ensure technical decisions are sound, feasible, and aligned with customer objectives
  • AI Agent & GenAI Solutions: Drive the design and delivery of AI agent and Generative AI solutions. Guide their integration into enterprise environments with a clear understanding of capabilities and limitations
  • Enterprise AI Integration: Integrate AI solutions into existing enterprise IT landscapes — including workflow automation, API design, and enterprise architecture alignment. Ensure AI becomes part of the customer's operational fabric, not a silo
  • Customer Engagement & Workshops: Act as the primary technical point of contact for customers. Lead workshops, present to senior stakeholders, and translate the "what" and "how" of AI into language that resonates with decision-makers
  • Performance & Quality Assurance: Define and track KPIs that measure real project impact. Establish quality standards and ensure every deliverable meets the high bar our customers expect
  • Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Maintain comprehensive project documentation — from technical specs and architecture decisions to progress reports and post-project evaluations. Share lessons learned across the team
Your profile
  • Academic Background: A degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Professional Experience: Several years of experience as a Technical Consultant, AI Engineer, (Technical) Product Manager, or in a comparable role — with a proven track record of delivering AI projects within complex enterprise environments
  • Technical Depth in AI: You bring extensive knowledge of modern AI technologies — from classical ML fundamentals to Generative AI and AI Agents. You understand how these technologies work under the hood. While you don't write production code yourself, you have a solid grasp of software engineering and can assess, challenge, and guide the work of developers
  • Enterprise IT Fluency: Strong understanding of integration architecture, workflow automation, DevOps practices, and cloud infrastructure. You can evaluate technical feasibility and guide engineering teams toward robust, scalable solutions
  • Analytical & Problem-Solving Mindset: Exceptional technical and analytical skills with a hands-on, solution-oriented approach. You dig into the details when needed and don't shy away from complex challenges
  • Communication & Stakeholder Management: Outstanding communication skills that enable you to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences. You are confident presenting to C-level stakeholders and can influence decision-making through clarity and conviction
  • Collaborative Drive: You thrive in high-performing teams, bring a learning mindset, and continuously push yourself and those around you to deliver better outcomes. 
  • Language Proficiency: Fluent in both English and German
What we offer
  • A highly qualified and motivated team of ~90 people is on a journey to change the rapidly evolving European AI Landscape
  • Experience the best of both worlds with our hybrid work model: You can choose to work from our vibrant offices - either at the IPAI in Heilbronn or the House of Communication in Munich - while also enjoying the flexibility to work remotely a few days each week
  • Opportunity to shape a variety of projects and the development of new, original content based on the latest developments in AI and its adoption in businesses
  • An atmosphere that encourages to think and experiment in new ways with software, hardware, and processes
  • A highly visible initiative that helps you build a large and high-level network of start-ups, partners, and tech companies
  • No fixed budget for growth – you decide how you want to develop, whether through training, certifications, conferences, or new challenges
  • Sports membership with Wellpass to access thousands of sports facilities all over Germany (and beyond), as well as online courses
  • JobRad: Lease a bike for a cheaper rate via JobRad and we cover the bike insurance on top 
  • Sabbatical option: You can take a sabbatical of up to 3 months after min. 3 years of employment - because sometimes 30 vacation days are not enough to explore the beauty of this world
  • PME Familienservice: A 24/7 support for a successful work & life in any life situation. Benefit from free support in areas like life coaching, child care and many other options
  • Mobility budget: Every month we contribute to your individual mobility usage with public transport or shared mobility offers within the app Moovster
  • Workation: Work from anywhere in the EU/EWR area for up to 3 months per year - combining working at a nice place and spending your leisure time in the evening like vacation
