Description du poste

Innovation Ecosystem & Strategic Partnerships

• You represent BIG BLUE MARBLE Labs nationally and internationally within the innovation ecosystem - universities, research institutions, public organizations, start-ups, and technology partners.
• You act as a key contact for strategic collaborations and help identify opportunities for joint innovation and research initiatives.
• You represent BIG BLUE MARBLE at conferences, workshops, exhibitions, and industry events, expanding our professional network and visibility.
• You contribute to strategic initiatives across the organization, supporting new partnerships and innovation opportunities.

Knowledge Transfer & Innovation Communication

• You ensure innovation outcomes are communicated effectively, internally and externally.
• You support the creation of technical blogs, conference papers, exhibition contributions, presentations, and other dissemination formats.
• You prepare management-ready summaries, technology assessments, and recommendations based on PoC results and emerging technology trends.
• You promote knowledge sharing across teams and help translate innovation into long-term business value.

Your background:

• A technical foundation, not necessarily a management CV. You have worked as a (Full Stack) Software Developer, Engineer, or in a comparable hands-on technical role - and you understand modern software development, cloud technologies, and digital platforms from the inside.
• A Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a comparable technical discipline - helpful for writing well-founded technical papers and conference contributions. Equivalent professional experience is welcome in place of a formal degree.
• A genuine wish to change direction: you're ready to trade day-to-day coding for coordinating people, representing the company externally, and shaping innovation strategy. Prior exposure to project or product coordination is a plus, not a requirement.
• Streaming and broadcast media know-how is very welcome - but if you bring strong technical fundamentals, we're confident you can build this knowledge quickly on the job.
• You're comfortable presenting, networking, and representing BIG BLUE MARBLE confidently in front of external audiences - at conferences, workshops, and partner meetings.
• You enjoy structuring ambiguous, early-stage ideas, coordinating people across disciplines, and turning promising concepts into tangible outcomes.
• Experience contributing to technical blogs, conference papers, white papers, or presentations is a strong asset.
• Comfortable working in agile environments and facilitating sprint-based collaboration.
• Experience with universities, research institutions, start-ups, or technology partners is a plus.
• Fluent English (C1/C2) and German (minimum B2) are required.
