Communardo is a leading provider of software solutions and consulting services for the digital workplace. Our heart beats for modern work, agile processes, communication and cooperation in companies. Our experts support customers from all industries in selecting the right software, implementing intelligent solutions and developing customized apps. We support the introduction and operation of your solutions through training and change management, as well as managed services.

• Own AI adoption end to end - training, our weekly AI Spotlight, the use case library, an annual agent-build hackathon and the approved-tool landscape - and make the sanctioned path the fastest path, every time
• Lead the redesign of how we actually work - team up with process owners across delivery and administration to rebuild core processes around AI, bringing the method and proving the impact
• Build and run our AI Operating System - the internal platform for agent orchestration, retrieval and prompt lifecycle management - engineered to stay vendor-neutral as the market shifts
• Take ownership of AI governance - EU AI Act readiness as both deployer and provider, our AI Usage Guideline, and a client-facing Transparency Charter - compliance as a fast, reliable service, never a bottleneck
• Represent the AI CoE on our Tech and AI Board and become the one door every business knocks on for AI questions

• Real enterprise AI adoption experience with the numbers to prove what actually changed
• A genuine track record of redesigning processes (Lean, BPM, service design or similar), including the facilitation skill to lead that work with people who don't report to you
• Hands-on technical range: LLM/agent architectures, orchestration, RAG, MCP, and working fluency across today's major enterprise AI stacks (Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Atlassian Rovo, ChatGPT, Gemini)
• Solid regulatory footing: EU AI Act deployer/provider obligations and GDPR in a data-processing context
• The influence to lead without formal authority and turn a network of part-time volunteers into a genuine delivery engine
• Fluent English (C1-C2); professional German is a strong plus
