- Coordinate technical and subject-matter interfaces between internal and external project participants.
- Take over stakeholder and communications management vis-à-vis clients, executives, and project teams.
- Identify project risks early, assess them, and initiate appropriate countermeasures.
- Lead and motivate interdisciplinary project teams and strengthen constructive collaboration.
- Support change and optimisation initiatives in stable and dynamic organisational structures.
Required Skills
- Completed degree with a technical, business, or comparable focus.
- At least three years of experience in project management, ideally in larger projects with a technical development component.
- Excellent knowledge of established project management methods and structured process models.
- Experience managing quality, time, and budget in demanding project environments.
- Understanding of Bundeswehr-related procurement processes, in particular CPM and PBN.
- Strong competence in stakeholder, risk, change, or communications management.
- Ability to integrate technical, organisational, and subject-matter requirements and manage them with focus.
- Fluent German and English language skills (written and spoken).
- Willingness to undergo a security vetting procedure in accordance with the SÜG.
Desired Skills
- Independent, structured, and results-oriented working style.
- High level of integrity, resilience, and professional conflict and feedback handling skills.
- PMI certification (e.g. PMP) desirable but not required.
