• Put technology to the test: You engage with new technologies and AI according to your role, evaluate specific products, and find out what truly adds value for us.

• You have already implemented digitalisation, transformation, IT, or organisational projects and bring experience in project management.
• You understand the interplay of people, processes, organisation, and technology.
• AI and new technologies spark your curiosity – at the same time, you can critically assess what actually works in practice.
• Data protection, information security, and careful handling of sensitive information are part of your approach from the start.
• You work independently, structured, and pragmatically and enjoy developing solutions together with others.
• You contribute your own ideas, can take other perspectives seriously, and want to actually implement things.

What we offer

• Scope for creativity: You get the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and actively shape the digital development of our public prosecutor's office.
• Proximity to decisions: You work directly with the overall management and simultaneously with specialist departments, staff units, and external partners.
• Technology with real context: For us, digitalisation is not an end in itself but about solutions that must actually work in a demanding environment.
• Collaboration on equal footing: We are not looking for lone fighters. Good ideas arise together with us.
• Contemporary working: flexible working hours and models, home office, discounted Ostwind company subscription
