• First-hand experience in an MBA program, either via graduating with an MBA or via working in an MBA program.

• Experience with business administration processes in an entrepreneurial environment, including financial modeling of product or innovation projects. International experience is a plus.

• Experience with non-authoritative leadership, including either personnel management or a team leadership role.

• An analytical mindset and experience in working with data-related tools.

• Hands-on experience using AI (both predictive and generative AI) in business or learning contexts and an in-depth understanding of the current shifts in these fields.

• First-hand experience working with agile software development methodologies (Scrum/Kanban).

• The ability to understand complex business processes and needs in different cultures and markets.

• Willingness and aptitude for interdisciplinary collaboration.

• A passion for entrepreneurship and the user-centric mindset.

• A sense of urgency, pragmatism and a solution-oriented approach to problem-solving.

• Mentoring experience is preferable. 

• Experience in attracting research funding is a big plus.

• Working experience in different cultural environments is highly appreciated.

What you can expect:

• Permanent contract.

• Full-time position (40 hours per week), in Berlin, on campus.

• A salary between €6,166 and €7,083 per month (gross) for a full-time position depending on experience.

What we offer:

You will become part of a diverse group of professors, lecturers, students and network partners, where everyone seeks to learn something new every day and is looking for ways to support other members of the community on their individual learning journeys.
