grow.file is building an AI-based, lifelong competence infrastructure that captures evidence from everyday situations to derive traceable, growing competence profiles usable across early childhood, school, family life, and career transitions; the User Experience Manager will translate deep, practice-based user insight into product and market direction, starting with a central project and expanding responsibility to drive solutions that fit real-world practice.

You will take operational ownership of a partner-developed prototype for vocational rehabilitation that consolidates competence data, visualizes development trajectories, and supports youth and professionals during transitions to internships, training, and work. As the organisation grows, you’ll expand oversight to projects across early years, school, family, careers guidance, and further education, carrying insights and best practices between undertakings. Core responsibilities are leading projects (planning, coordination, risk and success criteria), translating pedagogical needs into clear product requirements and acceptance criteria, and steering development while safeguarding quality—ensuring precise task descriptions, documented decisions, and that qualitative feedback becomes actionable product improvements.

DDGC has run virtual writing support groups three times a year since May 2018. The goal of the groups is to organize a forum in which people working in German Studies (and sibling disciplines) can support one another's research, share writing tips, discuss pitfalls, and thereby stimulate intellectual work while building community. The setup is simple with the aim of producing big results: in a 15-week writing group, group members check in twice each week (beginning and end of week). During the first check in, members articulate clear and measurable writing goals. During the second check in, members confirm if they met their goals, what went well, and what they hope to improve the following week. We use Slack, an online app/tool specifically designed for collaborative endeavors, to organize group communication.
