Job Advertisement: Project Manager, Hamburg

The Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft, a public initiative funded by the City of Hamburg, is seeking a full-time Project Manager to support gamecity:Hamburg, the city’s dedicated hub for the games industry. The primary objective of this role is to strengthen Hamburg’s position as a leading national games cluster by conceptualizing and implementing new service offerings, including a specialized incubator program for game developers. This recruitment effort aligns with the initiative's 2019 strategic repositioning, which expanded its mandate to include the management of local games funding and the provision of enhanced industry support services.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the independent planning of industry events, partner acquisition, and the strategic execution of location marketing. Key requirements for the position include a relevant academic degree or extensive professional experience, a robust network within the digital or games sector, and proficiency in both German and English. The role demands strong communication skills and the flexibility to engage in evening and weekend industry events.

This position is based in Hamburg and is initially offered on a two-year fixed-term contract. The initiative emphasizes a collaborative, creative work environment, offering the appointee significant autonomy to shape the future of the local games ecosystem. Applications were accepted through early February 2020, reflecting the organization's commitment to scaling its operations and service portfolio to meet the needs of a growing regional industry.
