- AI Production Lead (m|f|d)
WE ARE WIETHE
Wiethe is one of Europe’s leading content production companies and the market leader in Germany. We create and produce premium content for international brands such as adidas, Y-3, Tchibo, C&A, FC Bayern Munich and Peek & Cloppenburg.

Generative AI is a key pillar of our growth strategy. We continuously invest in new technologies, intelligent workflows and the ongoing development of our production capabilities.
To support this ambition, we are looking for experienced professionals who are ready to take ownership, lead teams, inspire clients and actively shape our continued growth.
