About Codesphere

Summary

Complex projects don't run themselves – and at Codesphere, we need someone who knows exactly how to make them work. As our Senior Project Manager (m/w/d), you'll take a high-stakes client engagement from setup to delivery: owning the structure, the stakeholders, and the outcome.

What you'll drive

• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for the client, building a relationship based on reliability and trust

• Keep all workstreams aligned across internal teams and external stakeholders

• Manage the full requirements lifecycle – from initial scoping through to change requests and sign-off

• Run acceptance testing and formal delivery milestones, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks

• Surface risks early, resolve blockers fast, and know when to elevate

• Translate between worlds – technical realities on one side, client expectations on the other

• Structure the engagement from the ground up – governance, cadence, tooling, and communication flows

What makes you a great fit

• 4+ years delivering complex IT projects, ideally in a consulting or client-facing environment

• A natural at keeping things moving – structured enough to manage complexity, flexible enough to adapt when it shifts

• Technically literate without being a developer – you follow the conversation and ask the right questions

• A communicator who can hold a room: clear, direct, and credible with both technical and business audiences

• Fluent in German and English

• Willing to travel regularly to client sites and Codesphere offices

What's in it for you

• Employee equity participation – participate in Codesphere's growth

• 30+ vacation days – including Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, adding up to 32 days per year

• Meal allowance – up to 15 digital meal vouchers per month, worth up to €7.67 each

• Flexibility – hybrid work setup with mobile work options and flexibility around core hours

• Steep learning curve – fast-moving environment, real ownership, and a front-row seat to scaling a company

• Job-Rad – lease a bike through us, tax-free

• Gym access – stay active on site (Karlsruhe office only)

• Employee events – from team offsites to regular get-togethers

• Company pension scheme – company-supported pension to set you up for later

• Great public transport links – both offices are within walking distance of tram and metro stops
