About the Role

In this key role, you will be the link between internal teams and external partners. You will ensure smooth operations, transparent communication, and reliable achievement of milestones – with room for your own ideas, flexible working models, and a team that supports each other.

Responsibilities

Portfolio Management: You will take over the commercial and organizational management of a dynamic IT and cloud project portfolio – from planning to project completion.
Finance & Forecasts: You will always keep budgets, margins, and actual vs. planned comparisons in view. You will recognize deviations early and make numbers reliably plannable.
Standards & Quality: With lean workflows and proven quality gates, you will ensure that best practices are followed across projects.
Support for Tech Teams: Whether Cloud Engineers, Developers, or Consultants – you will clear the way for your teams organizationally and ensure that scope and budget remain on track.
Commercial Hygiene: You will check project times, ensure billability, and provide our finance team with a clean data basis for smooth billing.
Insights & Reporting: Using modern tools, you will create meaningful reports for management. If a project goes off track, you will provide not only numbers but also pragmatic solution approaches.

Requirements

Background: Several years of experience in project controlling, multi-project management, or PMO – ideally in the IT, cloud, or consulting environment.
Numerical Understanding: Solid practical experience in budgeting, cost analysis, margin control, and forecasting. You can not only manage financial data but also interpret it strategically.
Focus & Vision: Even with many parallel projects running, you keep an overview, set clear priorities, and know exactly when detail depth is required.
Tool Affinity: Proficient use of contemporary PM, ERP, and ticketing systems (e.g., Jira, Confluence, or modern cloud ERP solutions).
Mindset: You act as a reliable sparring partner at eye level – for the delivery team as well as for finance and management. You are characterized by a hands-on mentality and a willingness to make decisions.
Fluent Communication: Fluent communication skills in German or English.
Teamwork and Drive: You convince with result orientation and the joy of working with our diverse team.
Growth Mindset: You want to develop yourself professionally and personally continuously. You bring curiosity for new methods and tools and are eager to expand your profile in a growing EPM organization.
