Community Manager (m/f/d)

Neckar-Alb region

What we stand for

The AI Alliance Baden-Württemberg is working in one of the most dynamic fields of our time: the responsible and courageous development of artificial intelligence. We see ourselves as a place where experts from science, business, administration, and civil society come together to help shape the future of this technology in the interests of the state. This is not about abstract visions, but about concrete impact—especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, municipalities, and regional networks.

This requirement calls for people who are enthusiastic about substantial developments, think critically, recognize creative freedom, and use it responsibly. The AI Alliance is expressly looking for individuals who are not interested in routine, but rather in making an impact in an emerging, professional environment.

That's why we are currently looking for a Community Manager for the Neckar Alb region.

You will be based in Tübingen, but will travel throughout the region and be closely involved in the AI Alliance's supraregional activities.

You identify needs, connect stakeholders, and build sustainable relationships. Your field of work is diverse but clearly focused: making the regional AI landscape more visible, effective, and accessible—and thus making a real contribution to the transformation process of small and medium-sized businesses and public administration.
