Knowledge Architect (m/f/d)

Deine Verantwortung We are looking for a Knowledge Architect for our AI-powered learning & operating system. The system is built for the commercial management of professional sports organizations: a platform that supports leagues and clubs with structured, AI-ready knowledge and decision support in areas like sponsorship, merchandizing, and commercial marketing. This is not a purely technical role. It is about structuring the domain knowledge that sits underneath the product: deciding what the system should know, how it is organized and retrieved, and how it stays current as the platform scales across clubs, leagues, and portfolios. You bring a background in information architecture or knowledge engineering and want to apply that expertise where it directly shapes how an AI product thinks. You will work closely with our top B2B clients and our internal expert network to capture complex domain knowledge, structure it for retrieval, and hold the editorial bar that keeps the corpus sharp, trusted, and actually used.

This is the structural backbone of the platform Knowledge lifecycle Design Govern discovery, extraction (interviews, AI-led interviews, document mining), curation, validation, and retirement, including the give-to-get contribution logic that incentivizes expert input Cross-tenant governance Define sharing tiers and confidentiality rules at club, league, and portfolio level and translate them into concrete access and approval workflows Corpus curation Build out the shared knowledge corpus and the domain-specific knowledge bases behind each agent, starting with Sponsor Acquisition and Pricing/Yield, in close collaboration with subject-matter experts Quality & freshness Own review cadences, source provenance, conflict resolution between contributed assets, and the metrics that prove the corpus is improving over time Collaboration with the AI team Partner with engineers and product to design knowledge structures that work for chunking, embeddings, and retrieval, not just for human readers Dein Profil At least 2 years of experience in information architecture, knowledge engineering, or a comparable role: ontologies, taxonomies, knowledge graphs, and RAG-friendly content structuring A working understanding of how LLMs consume knowledge: chunking, embeddings, and retrieval quality. Enough to design for the AI layer, not just around it Domain literacy in the sports business such as sponsorship, ticketing, commercial operations, or a proven track record of ramping up quickly with subject-matter experts Strong instincts for governance and data rights: confidentiality tiers, IP ownership, and contributor incentives Editorial judgment: you can tell signal from noise in expert input and hold a clear quality bar A completed degree in information science, computer science, linguistics, library and information studies, or a comparable field Strong communication skills in English, German is a plus Confident handling of digital tools and remote-work environments Warum wir?
