Your tasks will include: 

• Serving as the central contact person for companies in our Mittelstandsprogramm, building strong relationships and acting as their go-to expert for AI implementation
• Scoping and defining AI use cases by collaborating directly with business leaders to understand their key processes and identify high-impact opportunities for automation, using our proven templates to guide the discovery process

• Staying current with the latest advancements in AI and low-code technologies to continuously refine our implementation strategies and share best practices within our ecosystem

• An academic background in a tech-related or business field is a plus, but your practical experience is what counts
• Proven hands-on experience in developing and deploying automation workflows using low-code/no-code platforms (e.g., Make.com, Power Automate, N8N, Zapier)
• Strong business savvy and the ability to quickly understand and analyze key business processes across different industries
• An autonomous and proactive work style, with demonstrable experience in advising and communicating effectively with business leaders and decision-makers
• Strong, practical understanding of core AI concepts and the capabilities of modern AI tools, especially in the context of business automation
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, focusing on business impact
• Fluency in English and German is required

• A highly qualified and motivated team of ~90 people 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 House of Communication in Munich or the IPAI in Heilbronn - 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
• Hottest topics of the next decade and freedom and trust to initiate own activities
• A highly visible initiative that helps you build a large and high-level network of start-ups, partners, and tech companies
• Sports membership with Wellpass to access thousands of sports facilities all over Germany (and beyond)
