Digital Governance Specialist (f/m/d)

Digital Governance Specialist (f/m/d)

A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Digital Governance Specialist at Siemens Energy, you navigate the convergence of German co-determination law (BetrVG) and the EU AI Act – two frameworks that create a dual compliance trigger for every AI-enabled system deployed in the workplace. From M365 Copilot to S/4HANA analytics, you assess each initiative against § 87 BetrVG and the EU AI Act’s high-risk classification, lead works agreement (Betriebsvereinbarung) negotiations, facilitate the interface to the Technology Committee process end-to-end, and ensure compliance with our company obligations (e.g. Art. 26 EU AI Act). Bridging HR, Legal, external counsel, and IT project teams, you enable Siemens Energy to deploy digital technologies and AI responsibly and at pace.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Works Council Intake and Enablement Process: Establish and own the process through which all IT teams, IT Project Managers, and IT Service Owners channel their works council clarification needs. Act as the single gateway between the broader Digital Core organization and the works council, triaging incoming requests, assessing co-determination relevance, and ensuring no IT initiative engages the works council without proper preparation and coordination through this role
• Dual-Framework AI Governance: Operate the “double trigger” assessment – BetrVG § 87 co-determination and EU AI Act Annex III high-risk classification (employment/worker management). Ensure compliance with Art. 5 prohibited practices and Art. 26 deployer obligations (worker notification, human oversight, log retention)
• Works Council Agreement Management: Own the 90-day co-determination approval process for IT services rolled out to Germany, conducting trigger assessments and steering each initiative through the two-track path (Technology Committee protocol or group works agreement)
• Technology Committee Management: Manage the 6-step process from HR engagement through committee presentation (in German, per defined template), group works council negotiation, to general works council approval. Coordinate external counsel, manage feature freezes, and produce executive summaries for CIO reporting
• Stakeholder Management and Change Enablement: Unify BetrVG and EU AI Act governance across HR, Legal, Data Privacy, and IT. Implement Art. 26(7) worker notification for high-risk AI deployments, drive AI literacy programs, and develop communication plans for major feature rollouts

What You Bring

• University degree in Law, Business Informatics, or Human Resources, preferably with experience in collaboration with German works councils for IT topics
• Working knowledge in relevant regulatory requirements (e.g. BetrVG § 87, Leistungs-/Verhaltenskontrolle, EU AI Act)
• Strong negotiation and stakeholder management skills, with experience facilitating committee sessions, coordinating external counsel, and managing co-determination workflows across HR, IT, and works council stakeholders
• Solid understanding of key digital technologies relevant for Siemens Energy (e.g. Microsoft M365, SAP, Teamcenter, SalesForce, Copilot), and AI/GenAI concepts, with the ability to assess how embedded AI features trigger both BetrVG and EU AI Act obligations
• Fluency in both German and English is mandatory. Native-level German required for collaboration with German works council presentations, negotiations, and all agreement documentation
