Job description
About Codesphere
Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders. Since our founding in Karlsruhe in 2020, we’ve expanded into an international team of 60+ experts. Based in Karlsruhe and Munich and backed by top-tier investors, we are chasing a bold vision. We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀
Summary Complex projects don't run themselves – and at Codesphere, the stakes couldn't be higher. We deliver cloud infrastructure that enterprises and governments across Europe depend on, and as our (Senior) Project Manager, you'll be the person who makes these engagements work: owning the structure, the stakeholders, and the outcome from day one.
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
- Surface risks early, resolve blockers fast, and know when to escalate
- 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
- Spot and create opportunities for adoption and value within the accounts
- Architect solutions – shaping technical designs that fit both client needs and platform capabilities
What makes you a great fit
- 4+ years delivering complex IT projects, ideally in a consulting or client-facing environment
- Understanding of cloud business models and marketplaces (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)
- A natural at keeping things moving – structured enough to manage complexity, flexible enough to adapt when it shifts
- Technically literate – you can follow highly technical conversations and challenge technical counterparts
- 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 you'll tell people you are part off
- You'll work on infrastructure that powers some of Europe's most critical institutions – from the German Federal Government to leading enterprises. Real ownership, real impact.
- We're proving European technology can outperform US hyperscalers – and you'll be part of that proof.
- You’ll join early enough to shape a category that didn't exist before, late enough to know it's real.
…on top of that
- 32 days of paid time off – 30 regular vacation days plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off
- Meal allowance – up to 15 digital vouchers per month, adding up to over €100 net for you
- 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
