What You Bring

• University Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related field; PMP, IPMA, Scrum, or equivalent certification is a plus.
• Many years of experience leading complex, technology‑driven programs or transformation initiatives, with a proven track record in AI, digital transformation, or data‑driven delivery.
• Solid understanding of AI/ML, data ecosystems, and digital architectures, with the ability to translate real business challenges into scalable, high‑impact AI solutions using agile and hybrid delivery approaches.
• Demonstrated leadership in international matrix organizations, with strong experience managing external partners and influencing across organizational boundaries at all levels, including senior leadership.
• Advanced English proficiency is required; German is a strong plus. Willingness to travel internationally is required.

• We also offer the opportunity to become a Siemens Energy shareholder.
• We offer our employees the opportunity to work flexibly and remotely, and our inspiring offices provide space for collaboration and creativity.
• The professional and personal development of our employees is very important to us. We provide them with the opportunities to learn and develop in a self‑determined way, various attractive programmes and learning materials are available for this purpose.
