You are comfortable with customer facing content creation like webinars, recorded videos and social media posts to promote Baserow solutions. Strong project management, organization, and documentation skills: you can manage multiple customer engagements, follow up on action items, and deliver professional documentation and training materials. Customer-centric mindset: you care about helping users succeed, you take ownership of their success, and proactively seek to reduce friction, provide guidance, and enable best practices. Ability to write detailed bug reports with reproducible steps for the product developers to resolve. Self-driven, curious, and collaborative: able to work across teams (sales, product, developers, documentation) and contribute insights from customer engagements to help shape Baserow’s future. You will be reporting directly to the co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer. You are based in Europe. Experience working with enterprise customers or complex workflows. Being able to work with git / docker to set up a local instance is also useful for our self hosting clients. Experience creating training content: webinars, walkthroughs, tutorials, documentation.

[Full-time] Communications Lead at Sovereign Tech Agency

2026-07-09 11:19:01

Location: Berlin, Germany
URL: https://www.sovereign.tech/jobs/communications-lead

Description:

We are looking for an experienced, strategic thinker to lead and develop our communications work.

Who we are

The Sovereign Tech Agency is an organization dedicated to the digital sovereignty of the economy and society. Our mission is to strengthen the foundations of our digital autonomy and secure open digital technologies as the critical infrastructure of the 21st century.

Open digital infrastructure is the backbone of the digital world. It is essential for the flow of information, for government, for business, and for innovation, much like roads and bridges in the physical world. The most effective strategy for building this infrastructure is open source software: it is the bedrock on which our digital society is built – powerful, collaborative, and democratic.

With a commission from the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, we invest in critical software components, develop programs, and create structures that sustainably strengthen the open source ecosystem, including the people behind the code.

Our work is unique: we are leading the way on how governments engage with open digital infrastructure and laying the groundwork for how modern societies ensure resilience, technological diversity, and public digital services.

Together, we are building Europe’s digital future – open, secure, and sovereign.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a communications lead to contribute to the future growth of the Sovereign Tech Agency.

The Sovereign Tech Agency operates at the intersection of open source technology, digital infrastructure, and policy — in Germany, Europe, and beyond. Our work touches on fundamental questions: who controls the digital infrastructure underpinning AI, cyber resilience, and economic competitiveness? How do we ensure that these foundational technologies remain open, secure, and sustainable?

This position is for someone who understands that communications is not a support function but a strategic lever for shaping technology, innovation, and digital policy. In this role, you will shape how the Sovereign Tech Agency is understood and perceived and ensure our issues are visible, politically relevant, and land effectively with the right audiences. In day-to-day operations, you will turn our content, programs, and strategic initiatives into clear and compelling communications that resonate with policymakers, media, industry, and open source communities. You will help shape key debates on digital infrastructure, open source, technological sovereignty, and public sector digitalization in Germany and throughout Europe.

You are the primary contact for all external communications and will partner closely with the leadership team to shape how the organization is understood and perceived. The role offers significant room to shape things in a growing public interest organization.

You will define the organization’s overall communications direction and ensure our messaging is consistent and resonant across all audiences and contexts.

Developing and sharpening an overarching narrative, grounded in our mission, strategy, and portfolio
Turning complex issues into clear, politically effective messaging
Developing and refining our positioning with political, business, and other societal stakeholders
Ensuring consistent communications across all channels
Preparing leadership for public appearances, talks, and panels — developing the content, messaging, and strategic framing behind briefings, talking points, and presentations

Communications Delivery & Development

You will take responsibility for the day-to-day operations and the longer-term development of our communications work.

Planning and executing communications around announcements, calls, milestones, and the conclusion of cycles and cohorts: for example, UN Open Source Week, the Digital Commons EDIC, as well as the Sovereign Tech Fund, the Sovereign Tech Fellowship, Sovereign Tech Resilience, and Sovereign Tech Standards
Running the Sovereign Tech Agency’s owned channels: website, newsletter, blog, social media, press, and publications
Continuing to develop our website as the central hub for our programs, content, publications, and public presence
Prioritizing and coordinating ongoing communications activities across all channels and workstreams
Building and maintaining a productive communications pipeline: clear formats, repeatable processes, a consistent editorial line
Ensuring key developments and issues are communicated clearly and accessibly within the organization
Leading and developing the communications team

Proactive Communications & Outreach

You will ensure the organization’s key issues get seen — at the right moment, in the right form, by the right people.

Identifying communications opportunities and issues with political or wider relevance for the Sovereign Tech Agency and its leadership
Proactively placing stories and materials with appropriate media outlets
Building and maintaining relationships with journalists, editors, and key voices and networks
Developing communications outputs that generate consistent visibility and resonance

Your Qualities

Professional Qualifications

A university degree (e.g. in communications, marketing, business with a focus on marketing or communications) or equivalent professional experience in a senior role in strategic communications, public affairs, journalism, or a comparable field
Experience in political, public, or regulated environments (e.g. ministries, trade associations, think tanks, foundations, or tech and digital policy)
Experience communicating technical topics, ideally in a technology-driven or digital policy environment
A foundational understanding of open source ecosystems and issues at the intersection of technology, business, and policy — or a demonstrated ability to build that understanding quickly
Adept at conveying complex technical content clearly, precisely, and compellingly to technical and non-technical audiences alike
Experience preparing leadership for public appearances and engagements
Excellent German and English language skills, with demonstrated experience producing publication-ready copy in both languages
Our working language is English — you should be able to express yourself with confidence and precision, including in fast-paced working situations

Personal Qualities

A highly developed strategic mindset and sharp instinct for political and communications dynamics
The ability to prioritize issues and orient work toward impact
A hands-on mentality and willingness to work both conceptually and operationally
Confidence and composure when dealing with media, stakeholders, and internal partners
Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive topics

2026-06-17 11:29:49

Location: Berlin, Germany
URL: https://wikimedia-deutschland.career.softgarden.de/jobs/65367316/Interim-Engineering-Manager-Wikidata-for-Wikimedia-Projects-all-genders-/

Description:

At Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. we help create, collect and distribute free knowledge.
In 2004, volunteer Wikipedia activists founded the non-profit association Wikimedia Deutschland in Berlin, which now consists of over 110,000 members and 190 full-time staff.

Free knowledge leads to a fairer world. Wikipedia is the most important online knowledge collection of our time. The German Wikipedia alone records almost 1 billion page views per month for a total of 3 million articles. We – Wikimedia Deutschland e. V. – support the volunteers of Wikipedia and its sister projects, develop free software, such as Wikidata, and advocate for free access to knowledge, the opening of education and research, and more common good orientation in data policy.

For our Software Engineering Team, based in Berlin, we are looking for an Interim Engineering Manager Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects (all genders), full-time, ideally starting 01.09.2026 or sooner for a 12-months contract.

This position is designed as a hybrid working model with weekly presence in our Berlin office.

About the position & the team:
In this role, you will be responsible for the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects engineering development and team leadership. Wikidata is a free, collaboratively created knowledge graph. In 2012, we started the project at Wikimedia Deutschland; in 2022 we celebrated its 10th birthday. Amongst others, Wikidata stores important specified Wikimedia data for Wikipedia in a central location and helps to distribute the maintenance workload across language and project boundaries.

From its beginning, Wikidata was intended to support other Wikimedia projects and, today, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects are inextricably linked. It is the overarching goal of the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team that we strengthen this mutually beneficial relationship and ensure its long-term sustainability

What you’ll be doing:

You are responsible for leading and managing a team of engineers working to improve the Wikidata for Wikimedia Project’s features and products
You represent the team within the organization, towards the Wikimedia Foundation and publicly.
You support the development of our Wikidata & Wikimedia Projects strategy by mentoring and leading the engineering team to help build features that enable our communities to achieve their visions and make our services stable and efficient for the future.
You collaborate with engineers and managers from cross-functional teams, to develop team goals and track progress to build features, products, and services used by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
You will help team members to foster a culture of learning and personal growth and ensure that the team’s work maintains high quality.
You are not only a tech leader, you also understand your team’s psychological needs and create a safe environment for them.
You work with the team to identify and prioritize technical debt and drive efforts to address it and support them to deliver on time and align development with the overall goals of the organization.
You support your team by completing performance reviews, budgeting, and career development.
You are sensemaking the organisation’s strategy to the team to ensure alignment with the overarching goals and providing the right guidance.

What makes you right for this role:

You have prior, proven experience in a leadership role (team lead or engineering manager) of ~5 engineers and in a setting of cross-functional departments, diverse backgrounds and complex products.
You are an excellent communicator and you work best in an environment driven by collaboration, participation and a strong community.
You have previously been working with large-scale web applications, databases and distributed systems as well as with technologies like MySql, MariaDB, PHP, Docker.
You can give the team guidance on how to optimize data access, table structures or even sharding of databases.
You can communicate in English on a professional level, and you have good knowledge of the German language or the willingness to learn it.
Ideally, you have worked with open-source software development and you possess basic knowledge of the Wikimedia projects and communities.
If you have used Wikidata (or Wikibase) yourself, if you know Blazegraph or SPARQL, that is considered a plus.

Interested?
Please send us your application documents (Resume & Motivational Letter) via our job portal. We kindly ask you to refrain from application photos and information on date of birth, marital status and parents.
Wikimedia Germany is committed to equal opportunities and does not discriminate on the basis of, for example, ethnic origin, citizenship, religion or belief, political or other convictions, gender, age, disability, or sexual identity or orientation. We would like to address you in the way which feels most comfortable for you so please share your preferred name and pronouns if you wish.
