Senior Consultant - Public Sector (f/m/x)

As a strategy and management consultancy, we work hand in hand with leading clients from the Automotive & Transport, Energy & Environment, and Public & Infrastructure sectors to shape the future of mobility. We leverage the tools of digital transformation to guide traditional companies into the future and help young businesses establish themselves in the market.

Since our founding in 2017, we have grown to over 110 employees across eight locations – Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Cologne, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Bucharest, and most recently Warsaw. We are proud to have been ranked among the Top Ten in the brandeins/Statista list of “Best Management Consultants” for the fifth consecutive year.

What to Expect 

With us, you’ll help build something big. We move fast – and we’ll take you along on our journey through the mobility and energy ecosystem: working with top-tier clients and engaging in diverse digitalization projects.
We foster an open team culture, place the highest value on your professional development, and always meet on equal footing. We believe in full transparency for your career: only your individual performance determines your next step – all the way to Associate Manager.

Your Day-to-Day as a Senior Consultant

We work in a practice-based organization that allows our consultants, starting at Senior Consultant level, to align with a clearly defined area of expertise – in this case, the Public Practice.

This structure enables you to develop as a subject matter expert, deepen your knowledge, and build strong specialization – while remaining part of our interdisciplinary project business. You’ll apply your expertise across diverse client contexts and continuously expand it.
Our goal: for you to grow not only as a consultant but also as a thought leader in your practice area.

In your role, you will further develop your skills in the following areas:

• Team Leadership: Lead teams in (sub-)projects and foster active knowledge sharing – by supporting colleagues with challenges and delegating work packages effectively.

• Stakeholder Management: Coordinate and facilitate cross-functional exchanges and client workshops or meetings.

• Conceptual Work: Develop and implement solution approaches for top-tier clients, agile organizations, and emerging businesses.

• Data Analytics: Conduct efficient data collection – from defining data structures to interpretation, visualization, communication, and deriving actionable recommendations.

• Active Role in the Company: In addition to client projects, contribute to internal initiatives such as practices or business development activities.
