Das ist der Job

Your mission The future of AI computing is light, not electrons.

Darum lohnt es sich

As part of the People, Culture and Organization team, you will act as a vital force multiplier that systematically leverages artificial intelligence to automate, augment, and accelerate all internal processes. Workflow Acceleration : Partner closely with teams across the company to design and implement AI-driven development workflows.

Technical & Tool Fluency: You have deep hands-on experience with modern AI tools, large language models (LLMs), AI agents, automation frameworks, and API integrations. Stakeholder Collaboration: You possess exceptional communication skills with a proven ability to align diverse technical teams and cross-functional business stakeholders.

You can be part of a passionate international, highly skilled cross-functional team. Q.ANT is building photonic processing systems that compute with light – delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications.

As our Lead AI Organizational Enablement Manager (m/f/d) , you are the operational engine that transforms Q.ANT into an AI-native organization.

This role is about providing maximum leverage by driving exponential efficiency gains across the company — ensuring that AI is embedded as our core operational backbone, enabling the company to scale faster than traditionally possible.

Your Responsibilities Strategic AI Architecture : Define and execute the company-wide AI automation strategy, building and maintaining a cutting-edge internal tool stack (LLMs, agents, workflows, and APIs) tailored to Q.ANT's scaling needs. High-Impact Automation : Identify, prioritize, and implement pragmatic AI solutions across all departments.

Enablement & Evangelism : Act as the internal champion for AI literacy. Educate, train, and provide playbooks to empower all employees to effectively and safely leverage AI in their daily work.

Governance & Compliance : Establish strict best practices for prompting, tooling, and safe AI usage, ensuring data security, privacy, and full compliance across the organization.

Impact & ROI Monitoring : Define and track concrete success metrics (e.g., process cycle times, AI tool adoption rates) to ensure a strong focus on ROI and operational speed.

Your profile Professional Experience: You possess 5–10 years of experience building, applying, or deploying AI/ML systems or software engineering solutions in a practical, product-focused, or operations-driven environment.

Startup Mindset: You have a proven track record of executing fast in rapid, resource-constrained, or deep-tech environments, prioritizing speed over perfection and impact over elegance.

Analytical Leadership: You are highly organized and analytical with a lean process focus, capable of translating complex business bottlenecks into agile, scalable AI solutions. Communication Excellence: Fluency in written and spoken English is required; proficiency in German is a distinct advantage for local stakeholder alignment.

We hire for attitude and train for skills. We encourage self-responsibility and accelerate professional development. We move fast and encourage experimentation. You have the opportunity to be part of developing breakthrough photonic computing technology and have a lasting impact on the future of computing.

You will have access to the founders of the company. #J-18808-Ljbffr
