Program Manager / Junior Consultant

Your mission

We're looking for a curious, driven Program Manager / Junior Consultant with strong growth potential to join our team. You'll work closely with our internal program/project team and support across a range of responsibilities and projects - from AI transformation and workforce enablement to operational efficiency and organizational change - depending on client needs. You are a generalists rather than specialists, and future successor who can develop into the next level of seniority over time. This means you won't be siloed into one function - you'll get exposure to AI transformation strategy, operations, workshop facilitation, and client management from day one.

What you’ll do:

• Project management: support end-to-end program delivery including research, analysis, hypothesis testing, and synthesis
• Build models, frameworks, and analyses to support client recommendations
• Design and create client workshops and co-working sessions
• Help design AI solutions for both our internal needs and for our clients
• Help facilitate workshops, contributing to the flow, structure, and energy of the room
• Prepare client-ready materials (decks, reports, memos)
• Participate in client meetings and workshops, taking an increasingly active role over time
• Work across sectors and problem types - no two programs will look the same
• Contribute to internal initiatives (proposals, knowledge-building) as the firm grows

Your profile

What we’re looking for:

• 1–3 years of experience in consulting, professional services, or another fast-paced analytical role
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills
• Solid business acumen and consultative approach
• Able to create clear, partner-ready workshop materials
• Experience with (or strong interest in developing) workshop facilitation skills
• Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-changing scope of work
• A genuine generalist mindset - you're energized by variety, not thrown off by it
• Strong ambition to grow into a more senior role over time, with a genuine interest in long-term development
• Excellent written and verbal communication in German and English
• Bachelor's degree in any field (we care more about how you think than what you studied)
• Side projects or self-directed initiatives are a plus - we would love seeing what you built on your own time

Key capabilities:

• Data and AI fluency (especially Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot)
• Analytical thinking
• Critical thinking and problem-solving
• Project management
• Communication and stakeholder management

Why us?

What we offer:

• Direct mentorship from experienced program leads - no getting lost in a big firm
• A clear, supported path toward the next career level
• Fast-tracked responsibility, client exposure across variety of industries and problem types

And to make work even more enjoyable:

• 30 days of paid leave annually (based on a five-day working week)
• Personal development budget
• Company pension scheme ("Betriebliche Altersvorsorge")
• Possibility for mobile work (up to 50% of the working time)
• Possibility for remote work, also outside of Germany, for up to six weeks in total annually
• Regular team offsites, team events and parties
• Employee Benefits like Urban Sports Club or shopping vouchers
