What you'll do

  • Build the pipeline for public funding programmes (Forschungszulage, EU grants, ERDF/EFRE and others), actively own and track running programmes, forge consortia and get applications approved
  • Coordinate the research collaboration with Stanford and translate it into funded projects
  • Set up own systems, tracking and automation so one person can run a funding pipeline that usually takes a whole team
  • Take over and scale ReNET-EV (ERDF project on grid-friendly energy supply for business parks in the Münster/NRW region) and roll the model out to more municipalities
  • Win cities, municipal utilities and economic development agencies that use RIZM for heat planning, climate strategy and business park development; set up offers and procurement routes for the public sector
  • Bring chambers of commerce (IHKs), economic development agencies, utilities and industry partners together in joint projects
  • Tap into public and municipal data that makes models more precise at regional level
  • Create visibility through references with municipalities and mayors
  • Over time, build a small B2G team, including working students

What we're looking for

  • Several years of experience in the public sector, politics, municipal utilities, economic development agencies, associations or funding management
  • Have successfully won funding (EU, federal, state) or led consortia
  • Know how municipalities make decisions and buy, and have a strong network in NRW or beyond
  • Understand energy transition topics such as municipal heat planning, grid congestion and flexibility
  • Think like an entrepreneur and see public funding as a path to a business case
  • Are curious about AI and enjoy building your own tools and workflows
  • Speak business-fluent German and bring good English for EU programmes

Benefits

  • A business line you build from scratch, with a direct line to the management team
