Do you want to work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and workplace safety, ensuring every employee returns home safely every day? Are you excited by the challenge of managing the large-scale deployment of computer vision and AI-powered safety solutions across complex, dynamic industrial and construction sites? Join Buddywise!

About Buddywise

Buddywise is a leading AI-native workplace safety system that helps industrial companies prevent workplace accidents. Built on real-time video analytics, we enable operational teams to detect, prioritise, and resolve safety risks through AI-powered insights and actions. Our customers operate in complex industrial environments where safety, operational reliability, and adoption matter more than software features alone. We're a small, fast-moving team working at the intersection of AI and workplace safety. If you thrive in a high-ownership environment and want to help industrial companies create safer workplaces, Buddywise is the place for you.

The Role

As a Project Manager, you will lead the global deployments and scaling Buddywise for our major enterprise clients. You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of large deployments, taking projects from preparing and executing the initial live rollouts and to scaling them across clients' global operations.

You will sit at the critical intersection of product, tech and customer success, ensuring alignment and execution of implementation plans across the teams. Your goal is to ensure the seamless deployment of both state-of-the-art AI software and in certain cases physical hardware components. This means driving vendor negotiations, establishing robust network connectivity solutions, and being on the ground to empower frontline users and technicians to install and adopt the system seamlessly in their facilities.

What You'll Do

• Own Deployment Roadmaps: Execute the rollout strategy for large-scale AI safety monitoring, transitioning enterprise clients from initial single-site deployments into live operations and scaling up to hundreds or thousands of sites.

• Bridge Tech and Reality: Align deeply with product and tech teams to connect software development roadmaps with real-world, on-site hardware deployment realities.

• Hardware & Vendor Management: Manage the physical component of our solutions, including sourcing, vendor negotiation, and setting up reliable blueprints for power, internet connectivity, and physical edge computing devices.

• On-the-Ground Execution: Work closely hands-on with the clients local teams at installation sites to ensure system deployments go smoothly.

• Empower the Frontline: Ensure that frontline users are trained, equipped, and able to install the system easily and correctly, creating scalable documentation and training materials.

• Stakeholder Governance: Lead communication and project governance with internal teams and external enterprise stakeholders, driving progress updates, resolving roadblocks, and measuring success outcomes.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is measured by the timely, efficient, and successful rollout of our hardware and software into live operations across our client base.

• Expansion phases are executed successfully, validating performance and capturing essential real-world feedback to fuel further large-scale expansion.

• Highly scalable deployment models are established, enabling a smooth transition into multi-site rollouts without bottlenecking our internal teams.

• Frontline users and technicians can reliably and effortlessly deploy the hardware and connectivity solutions in dynamic, fast-changing facility environments.

• Vendors and supply chain partners are secured and optimized for quality, scale, and cost.

• Strong alignment exists between Buddywise's product/tech teams and our enterprise partners' operational realities, ensuring fast iteration and continuous improvement.
  

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

• 5+ years of experience in project management, technical project management, or deployment operations, ideally managing both software and physical hardware rollouts.

• Proven track record of managing complex, phased deployments in dynamic, real-world environments (e.g., construction sites, industrial facilities, or large-scale infrastructure).

• Vendor and hardware experience with a strong background in procurement, supply chain scaling, and negotiating hardware or connectivity solutions.

• Cross-functional translation skills with the ability to bridge the gap between technical software teams and operational field workers.

• Hands-on mentality with the willingness and ability to travel to industrial sites to oversee deployments, test workflows, and gather direct feedback.

• Exceptional organisational skills to manage multiple initiatives, client phases, and priorities simultaneously.

• Startup readiness with experience operating effectively in scale-up environments where resources are limited and priorities move quickly.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

Nice to Have

• Experience deploying computer vision, AI, or IoT solutions in industrial or construction environments.

• Background in hardware setups or network connectivity solutions

• Professional working proficiency in German or other European languages.

Who Will Thrive Here

You'll likely enjoy and succeed in this role if you:

• Take ownership naturally and don't wait for someone else to tell you what to do or how to solve the problem.

• Care deeply about business outcomes and are willing to go the extra mile to help the company grow.

• Follow through on commitments and take pride in seeing things through to completion.

• Learn quickly and enjoy becoming an expert in new products, industries, and customer challenges.

• Enjoy combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

• Are humble and comfortable rolling up your sleeves and doing whatever is needed to move the business forward.

This role is based in Berlin, but candidates based in Stockholm will also be considered, and involves regular travel to client installation sites and collaboration with a variety of stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
