Who we are:
The Sovereign Tech Agency is a public 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 Economic Affairs and Energy, 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 dedicated and motivated Finance and Operations Manager to contribute the future growth of the Sovereign Tech Agency. As a key member of our administrative team, you will help shape processes, ensure everything runs smoothly, and support the further expansion of the finance and operational side of our organization. You have a keen sense for accurate project controlling and keep a close eye on figures, deadlines, and processes. You enjoy working interdisciplinarily and diving into topics to find and implement suitable solutions. Public procurement law, the German Federal Travel Expenses Act (Bundesreisekostengesetz), and similar regulations are familiar to you. You have extensive experience with public funds, ideally also from EU programs. Last but not least, you are enthusiastic about digital tools and feel comfortable in an impact-oriented environment.
