Compliance Manager; m​/f​/d

Ready to build the enablement ecosystem of a leading AI startup? As Product Enablement & Academy Lead, you will shape the Blockbrain Academy—from the first login to long-term use. Your mission:
Drive AI adoption and transformation
—every stakeholder, whether team member, partner, or user, achieves measurable value from day one.

For medium-sized companies, knowledge is the last real competitive lever. But knowledge is locked away in tools and SharePoint folders—or disappears when experts leave. While IT is still planning, employees have long been using ChatGPT & Co.—without governance, and sensitive data is flowing out.

With the Knowledge Bots platform, we create what companies really need: AI-supported knowledge management that can be implemented quickly, grows flexibly, and functions in a compliant manner. Teams use our GenAI construction kit to build customized AI assistants, agents, and workflows in minutes—just like Lego.

What sets us apart:

• Market-leading traction: We win enterprise deals against MS Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity – with the highest conversion rates in the industry.
• World-class team: Founders and executives from Statista, Bosch, WHU, IBM, Amazon, Trumpf – experts in GenAI, B2B SaaS, and cybersecurity
