Senior Project & Engagement Manager (m/f/d)

IN A NUTSHELL

We are growing in projects, complexity, and responsibility, and are looking for an experienced professional who can confidently lead demanding client engagements and establish clear, efficient structures within the team. You bring the seniority needed to coordinate multiple stakeholders, anticipate challenges early on, and keep projects on a structured path to success. At the same time, you support our consultants as a sparring partner and help shape the standards and best practices that strengthen the entire team.
In this role, you manage complex client projects on an operational level, establish robust processes, and ensure that challenges are identified early and resolved effectively. While our Business Leads handle people management and team leadership, you provide support in sensitive client situations and ensure that expectation management and communication are handled professionally. Another core element of your work is driving systematic knowledge building within the team, as well as developing clear project plan templates and a professional project monitoring framework.

Your profile

• successfully completed degree in Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, Financial Mathematics, or a comparable field
• several years of experience managing complex, international projects, ideally in an IT environment and/or the financial industry
• strong financial knowledge or the ability to quickly and reliably acquire it
• distinct hands‑on mentality and high sense of ownership
• excellent organizational skills paired with a structured, solution‑oriented working style
• very strong German and English skills (both at least C1)
