Senior Consultant - Payments

Stellenbeschreibung:

Senior Consultant / Manager – Payments

Full‑time | Germany (Nationwide) | Management Consulting

Opportunity

This is a chance to lead payments projects end‑to‑end at senior client level, without the layers of a Big 4 or MBB firm slowing you down. You'll operate independently, shape opportunities before being asked to, and work across some of the most technically interesting problems in the space – account‑based payments, cards, mobile, e‑commerce, and crypto.

What You Will Do

Lead payment transaction projects end‑to‑end at major banks and financial service providers, from requirements through implementation
Create requirements and solution concepts, staying closely involved across every project phase
Own specialist topics spanning account‑based payments, card payments, mobile payments, e‑commerce, or cryptocurrencies
Operate independently at senior client levels, identifying and shaping opportunities without being directed
Develop existing client relationships and contribute organically to new business

About You

3–5 years’ experience at Senior Consultant or Manager level
Background in top‑tier management consulting with a subsequent move into payments/fintech – or the reverse path
A track record of building projects from the ground up, not just executing within a pre‑defined workstream
Street‑smart and self‑directed, comfortable operating at C‑suite level without hand‑holding
Ambitious with realistic expectations – not solely chasing a partner‑track timeline
Fluent to native German (C1‑C2); English desirable, French a plus
Based in Germany, willing to travel extensively for client‑site work

Why This Role

Join a firm that’s 100% booked and turning away clients – proof of market position
Genuine ownership from day one, not PMO or task execution
Rare hybrid mandate: real consulting rigour applied to a specialist, high‑demand niche
Hybrid working available, up to 3 days/week remote
30 days’ leave plus additional paid leave over Christmas and New Year
Employer‑funded company pension scheme
Sponsorship and mentoring programme, with ongoing training support
Sabbatical opportunities
Discounted fitness and lifestyle benefits
