Mission & responsibilities
You will build the program-management and contract-administration backbone for our publicly funded work, from the first milestone plan to the last invoice.
Program execution
- Own the master schedule and milestone plan for publicly funded contracts, including German MOD, DLR and EDF activities
- Track deliverables against contract obligations and flag schedule or scope risk early
- Run the recurring program-review cadence across our technical departments
Contract administration
- Administer milestone-payment contracts end to end: invoicing triggers, deliverable acceptance and change requests
- Make sure cross-border work is invoiced correctly
- Maintain the contract register and keep obligations traceable to the underlying Statement of Work
Reporting & stakeholder management
- Prepare progress and financial-status reporting for our funding bodies
- Be the day-to-day contact for customer program offices between formal review gates

- Fluent German and English, written and spoken
Nice to have
- Contract experience with German MOD, DLR or EDF-funded programmes
- Experience contributing to and writing proposals
- Understanding of different accounting and cost-calculation methods for public stakeholders
