Jobbeschreibung

Why us?

We believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize how cancer and other complex diseases are diagnosed and treated. We also believe that AI is a tool, not an identity – without access to high quality data and a scientifically rigorous, transparent approach to model development, AI is just a buzzword. That’s where we come in.

Aignostics is a spin-off from one of Europe’s largest and most prestigious university hospitals (Charité), with employees in Berlin and New York. We have received over $50M in funding from leading investors and are a growing team of over 100 interdisciplinary professionals. We work with academic partners as well as leading global life sciences companies.

As a grants‑focussed Strategic Project Manager at Aignostics, you will contribute to winning and delivering grant‑funded research projects. You will work with specialists in machine learning, pathology, data science, cloud‑software engineering and compliance to bring cutting‑edge R&D projects from inception to successful completion. This includes coordinating projects in sync with our external partners. The role offers frequent opportunities to diversify into additional responsibilities (strategic and technical) according to the individual’s profile and skillset.

As a strong all‑rounder, you combine the capability to quickly understand and analyze complexity with a talent for clear documentation and communication.

This is a unique opportunity to join a fun, diverse, and growing team of 100+ data scientists, software developers, biologists, and pathologists to shape the next generation of cancer treatments. You will be part of a driven community that works in an agile, supportive and interdisciplinary research environment where your results make a difference to patients. In our established startup you have the opportunity to grow personally and technically, take responsibility and benefit from a dynamic work environment.

At Aignostics, we believe that fighting cancer is a job for people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures. We value and celebrate diversity and inclusion and are committed to offering equal employment and promotion opportunities for all applicants and employees. Applicants will be considered regardless of their age, disability, ethnicity, race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, etc. We thrive through collaboration and believe the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

Where your expertise is needed

• Winning and delivering grant‑funded projects:
  • monitoring grant funding opportunities
  • preparing grant applications
  • coordinating delivery of grant funded projects
  • financial and technical reporting
• Establish timelines, identify and address or elevate issues as they arise, ensure progress across multi‑team projects and ensure deadlines are met
• Work with senior management to define and act on strategic initiatives according to the organisation’s requirements

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical/numerical discipline
• 1‑3 years of experience in a project management (or coordination) role within a technical domain, or managing grants in a research and/or academic environment
• Ability to understand, formulate and review reports and stakeholder communications
• Reliable, directed, thoughtful and conscientious – with demonstrated strategic problem‑solving skills
• Attention to detail, excellent collaboration skills, curiosity‑driven personality
• Full professional proficiency in both English and German

Ideally, you also have

• Written successful research grant proposals and scientific documents
• Knowledge of the EU and German funding landscapes
• Experience in project management
• Knowledge of any of the following: pathology, oncology, bioinformatics, medical imaging, machine learning, computer vision, data science, software engineering
• A PhD, or equivalent research experience
• Experience in considering Information Security criteria under ISO 27001

We are still keen to hear from you if you don’t match all the above points! Our needs are diverse and growing, and you are encouraged to apply if you have a strong combination of these skills.
