We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀

Summary

Codesphere is growing – and with that growth comes the need for someone to own how we deliver. As our Head of Delivery (m/f/d), you won't just run projects. You'll shape the standard for how Codesphere shows up for its clients, build a team around it, and personally lead our most complex, high-stakes engagements.

What you'll drive

• Define and own how Codesphere delivers – establishing processes, standards, and the right culture across the delivery function

• Represent Codesphere at senior stakeholder level – from steering committees to executive sponsors

• Build and lead a growing team of project and account managers, acting as primus inter pares

• Hold accountability for delivery quality, contractual compliance, and client satisfaction across engagements

• Anticipate where things break before they do – and have the authority and judgment to course-correct

• Create a strong feedback loop between clients and our internal Product & Engineering teams

• Be the person both sides trust when things get difficult

What makes you a great fit

• 7+ years in IT consultancy or delivery leadership, with a track record of building client relationships at senior level

• You've led or mentored others and know what excellence looks like – and how to get a team there

• At home in boardrooms and sprint reviews alike – you adapt your register without losing your substance

• Known for your composure: the harder things get, the clearer you become

• Fluent in German and English

• Willing to travel regularly to client sites and Codesphere offices
