Projekt Manager
(m/f/d)
Climate Change Education (international)
Education Department
To strengthen our Education team based in Munich, we are looking to fill the following position: Project Manager (m/f/d), focusing on international climate change education, starting as soon as possible on a full-time, two-year contract.
At a time of profound global change, Siemens Stiftung, a non-profit foundation, is committed to advancing sustainable societal development. Together with people and communities around the world, we create opportunities for action to actively shape social and ecological transformation. Our international work focuses on three closely interconnected fields: Basic Services, Digitality, and Climate. We approach the challenges in these areas collaboratively and see them as opportunities for innovation and positive change. Through our projects in education, social entrepreneurship, and culture, we promote access and participation, strengthen future-oriented competencies, and enable shared learning. By working across disciplines, we connect local action with global perspectives and contribute to resilience, social cohesion, and regenerative practices.
Worldwide, science and technology education is a key driver of social participation, sustainable development, and the long-term safeguarding of our livelihoods. The climate crisis in particular highlights the importance of sound knowledge, systems thinking, and action-oriented competencies. With our international STEMplus education initiatives, especially in the field of Climate Change Education, we support education stakeholders and institutions in empowering teachers and young people to understand climate change, actively contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation measures, and take responsibility in a changing world. In doing so, we link educational practice with international climate and education policy frameworks and promote learning as an active contribution to societal transformation.
