What we offer

You will be one of the first key hires in a fast-growing start-up company and get to shape our growth trajectory together with the founding team of successful entrepreneurs and investors. This will enable you to expand your entrepreneurial skillset and network.

As AI Project Manager, you will work under the guidance of experienced colleagues, playing a key role in delivering client solutions and helping your Project Leader with client communication, work planning, and team management. You and your colleagues will regularly interact with the client to understand and clarify the client's needs and assist in solving their strategic and operational issues. For that, you will work with and partly manage a team of experts of data scientists and machine learning engineers. You will also significantly contribute to the shaping and scaling of our start-up business, which entails working on sales and recruiting activities or co-defining a communications strategy.

We offer the flexibility to work from anywhere within Europe, CET +/- 2 hours, or you can join us at our Frankfurt offices. You’ll have the freedom to manage your working hours and actively contribute to shaping our work culture and principles.

Lukas
"To me, it is important that we design NEWNOW together as a team – what we value, how we work and how we want to scale. The team we are building is truly exceptional and NEWNOW should always be a great place for us to grow, while allowing for the flexibility to fit into our individual lives beyond work. I love that we are testing different ideas on how to work together effectively, both remotely and in-person, I think this is the future of knowledge work. And on a less serious note, we have a lot of fun together (take our meme channel as proof...)”
