R&D Project Manager (m/f/x)

About the Position

Are you a natural organizer who loves managing projects and wants to actively help shape the future of our R&D department? Then we have the perfect opportunity for you!

As a R&D Project Manager (m/f/x), you’ll take charge of exciting and innovative projects. You’ll be in full control: from planning and implementation through to successful completion. Working with cross-functional teams, you’ll drive progress and innovation while ensuring that quality, costs, and deadlines stay in balance.

Responsibilities

• Team Leadership & Communication: Lead cross-functional project teams to ensure milestones are met, fostering strong communication and team alignment.
• End-to-End Project Control: Actively steer projects regarding quality, costs, and deadlines across the entire R&D lifecycle.
• Progress & Risk Management: Monitor project progress, identify bottlenecks early, and implement decisive mitigation measures.
• Scope & Documentation: Define project scope, plan milestones, and ensure clean, structured project documentation.
• Stakeholder Reporting: Provide regular, crystal-clear status updates and precise project KPIs to internal and external stakeholders.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with adjacent departments such as Procurement and Production to ensure seamless product delivery.

Requirements

• Leadership & Hands-on Mentality: A strong leadership mindset combined with high self-initiative and a proactive "get-things-done" attitude.
• Excellent Communication Skills: Exceptional communication and conflict-resolution skills; ability to push things forward even in difficult situations.
• Project Management Expertise: Solid experience in managing complex projects, including proficiency with standard PM tools (e.g., Atlassian Jira, Confluence, MS Project, Trello).
• Structured & Detail-Oriented: A highly structured way of thinking and acting, allowing you to prioritize tasks effectively under pressure while keeping an eye on details.
• Willingness to Travel: Ready to travel between our locations in Feldkirchen, Graz, and Berlin (approx. 12 times a year).
• Language Skills: Fluent English (C1 level minimum) is a must-have, as it is our primary company and project language. German is a plus but not mandatory.

Nice to Have

• Practical Technical Background: A technical degree or equivalent practical training is a strong plus. You should naturally think in logical sequences and work close to the actual result rather than in abstract theories.
• Industry Experience (Plus): Prior experience in R&D for hardware and embedded systems-ideally within EV charging solutions-is an absolute bonus, but not a strict requirement.

We Offer

• Play an active role in shaping a rapidly growing organization.
• High level of autonomy and freedom in project design.
• Flexible working hours.
• Support for your mental well-being.
• Employee discounts on our products.
• Employee discounts on our products and corporate discounts for many brands.

The collective bargaining agreement for the electrical and electronics industry applies. Your salary will be based on your professional experience and qualifications.
