Your role in the team
- OVGU has substantial AI expertise across its professorships, research groups, laboratories, and degree programs. You make this expertise visible and accessible to startup initiatives. You are the first point of contact for startup teams with AI-related questions and connect them with the right experts. The focus is on facilitating knowledge transfer and networking between research, startup advisory services, and external partners—not on the operational use of individual AI tools:
- Development and maintenance of an AI expertise directory for OVGU (Who is working on what? Which technologies, datasets, and labs are available? Who is open to knowledge transfer and joint projects?)
- Initial consultation for founding teams on AI-related initiatives: assessment of needs, data availability, technical feasibility, costs, dependencies, and risks, as well as data protection and regulatory issues
- Targeted matching of founding teams with suitable professorships, research groups and laboratories, as well as external partners from business, public administration, the investor community and regional networks; documentation of matches in the CRM system
- Organizing regular AI office hours and thematic exchange sessions between founding teams and OVGU subject-matter experts
- Development of an AI validation toolkit and AI-assisted preparation of market, competitor, and user needs analyses, expert interviews, and scenarios—with verified sources, documented assumptions, and human review
- Supporting startup consulting with business model engineering (business models, pricing and revenue models, go-to-market, investor readiness)
- Contributing to teaching formats (e.g., “AI-driven Entrepreneurship”), guidelines, and best-practice reports for the project
Our expectations of you
Education
- Completed university degree (Master’s or university diploma) in business informatics, computer science, or a related field
Qualifications
- You understand what AI can do and where its limitations lie, and bring together people from research and the startup community:
- Solid understanding of the capabilities and limitations of AI, and the ability to realistically assess its potential for specific use cases and startup ventures
- Practical experience using generative AI and modern AI tools
- In-depth overview of current developments, market structures, and trends in the AI startup sector
- Strong ability to bring together people from different disciplines and communicate complex concepts clearly.
- Entrepreneurial mindset, ability to work in a team, strong initiative, and intercultural competence
- Very good German skills (C1 level) and very good English skills (at least B2)
Experience
- Experience in technology and knowledge transfer, with a strong understanding of data and feasibility considerations
- Desirable: Knowledge of AI regulation and data protection law, as well as experience in a startup environment
What we offer
- We stand out for our excellent professional development opportunities, a wide range of sports and leisure activities, and extensive dining options in our canteens and cafeterias.
- Diversity and sustainability are just as important to us as a culture of appreciative leadership.
- All standard public-sector benefits, flexible working hours, and modern workplaces are a given.
