Team Coordinator AI Projects (m/f/d)

TecAlliance interconnects global automotive aftermarket data and knowledge from order to invoice. With over 900 colleagues working relentlessly in 140 countries, we are owned by 34 automotive companies like Bosch, Continental, Rheinmetall, and ZF. We act as an information hub and process facilitator for them, ensuring standardized processes that help clients save costs (process and indirect costs) and time through efficient processes enabled by our software.

In this newly created role as Team Coordinator AI Projects (m/f/d) , you will lead the coordination of key Machine Learning initiatives like automatic data extraction, validation, and mapping using AI. For example, we are building based on our data – by ourselves – automatic language translation with our data. We created an internal AI-powered extraction platform that leverages the wealth of existing PDFs (e.g., workshop manuals) to streamline critical processes such as return claims, model pricing, invoice document handling, and car damage detection. It can also give you a rough damage analysis based on a picture that is uploaded.

That´s at the core of what we do. We´re a “Data-as-a Service” company. With you at the forefront, we accelerate innovation and deliver smarter, faster, and more scalable services for the automotive aftermarket.

With you leading these AI projects, we’ll accelerate innovation and ensure smooth, organization-wide adoption of cutting-edge AI technologies.

Your functional and technical leadership skills will be essential - without your contribution, our ability to scale AI and Machine Learning across TecAlliance will stall. But with you on board, progress will soar, especially alongside Christian Krause’s enthusiastic team who are eager to collaborate and innovate with you.

Your success will be measured by the number of AI processes and solutions you introduce, implement, and drive adoption for within TecAlliance. This is a truly global role where you´ll interact with direct colleagues from Germany & Vietnam, but interact constantly with global teams.
