About this role
Role Overview
Understand, identify and structure customer problems.
You analyze clients’ business processes, pain points and objectives and translate them into clearly defined, actionable problem statements.
You do not stop at analysis but actively ensure these become practical approaches.
End-to-end responsibility for solutions.
You accompany a topic from idea through conception, architecture and proposal to implementation and further development.
You identify appropriate solutions for companies and can proactively approach potential clients.
You also recognize which new topics or sensible next steps arise from projects and client interactions, and drive these forward independently.
Solution design & architecture.
You design solution concepts for software, cloud, integration and AI use cases together with engineering and clients — pragmatic, scalable and implementable.
Product & project management.
You prioritize topics, prepare proposals and decision papers, and prepare and take responsibility for client-side and internal decisions.
You take action even when requirements are unclear, opinions differ or there is not yet an obvious "right" answer.
Client leadership & communication.
You work closely with clients, moderate workshops, explain decisions and act as a trusted technical advisor.
Active team contribution.
You do more than coordinate — you are part of the project and product team and take responsibility where it is needed.
AI is not an add-on — it is standard.
You naturally use AI in analysis, conception, communication and implementation.
You recognize where AI provides real added value — and where it does not. You understand AI as an amplifier of your own capabilities and as an opportunity for better solutions.
Requirements
Solid background with experience as a Product Manager, Solution Architect, IT Consultant or in a comparable role.
Strong functional understanding of software development, cloud architectures and modern system landscapes (detailed expertise not required).
Ability to think holistically from problem → solution → implementation.
Confident communication with clients, developers and stakeholders.
Skill in preparing complex technical and business matters so they are easily understood by different audiences, especially management and clients.
Structured, decisive working style and a strong ownership mentality.
Curiosity, willingness to learn and a positive attitude toward change.
Active use of AI tools in daily work.
Very good German and English language skills.
Willingness to travel: occasional business trips within the DACH region (as agreed with the client).
