Hamburg, Hamburg, Deutschland Make Work Flow Vollzeit

Senior Project Manager – Lean & Digital Operations (m/f/d)

Hamburg | Regular Shopfloor Work | 1–2 trips/month

German manufacturing is under pressure.

Declining productivity. Rising complexity. Global competition. At Make Work Flow, we don't write Lean concepts or PowerPoint roadmaps. We make Lean executable on the shop floor – powered by simple, pragmatic digital tools. We combine deep shopfloor Lean experience with software to build what factories actually need: clarity, flow, speed, and control.

Now we're looking for a Senior Project Manager – Lean & Digital Operations to drive real implementations with real impact.

Tasks
  • Own end-to-end customer implementations of our Flow platform
  • , , )
  • Lead on-site workshops in factories to understand processes, identify bottlenecks, and define target workflows
  • Translate Lean principles (flow, pull, visual management) into digital, scalable implementations
  • Coordinate closely with Product & Engineering teams in Hamburg and our tech hub in Amman (Jordan)
  • Drive timelines, milestones, risks, and outcomes — hands-on, pragmatic, solution-oriented
  • Continuously improve our implementation playbooks, templates, and rollout standards
  • Act as a trusted sparring partner for customer operations teams and management
  • Optionally: help build and mentor future project managers as we scale (not mandatory)

Language & Location

  • German strongly preferred (customers & shopfloor communication)
  • English required
  • Based in Hamburg, with regular traveleing / on-site customer work
Requirements
  • You're likely a Wirtschaftsingenieur, Produktionsingenieur or similar who:
  • Has 3–8 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, operations, or Lean environments
  • Knows the shop floor is where value is created – and enjoys being there
  • Has worked with Lean, Operational Excellence, or production systems (formally or informally)
  • Is technically curious and enjoys working with digital tools (you don't need to code)
  • Can manage projects without hiding behind bureaucracy
  • Communicates clearly with shopfloor teams and management
  • Is comfortable traveling to customer sites 1–2 times per month

You don't need to be a Lean Black Belt. You do need a pragmatic mindset and a drive to make things work.

Benefits

What you'll get

  • Direct collaboration with the CEO and real influence on delivery & product direction
  • A role focused on execution and impact, not project theatre
  • The chance to shape how Lean + Digital is rolled out at scale
  • Real factories, real problems, real results — often visible within weeks
  • A growing company where responsibility grows with you, not with your title

Interested?

  • Send a short message or your LinkedIn profile directly to Markus Bosse, CEO or Dr. Suhaib Ajlouni, CTPO.
