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 established companies and organizations into the future and help young businesses establish themselves in the market.
We collaborate with ministries, authorities, and public IT service providers to drive the digital transformation of public administration in Germany. Together, we shape the future: building organizations that are future-ready and resilient, unlocking process efficiencies through automation and AI, and enabling teams to work effectively while guiding them through change.
Our goal: To make public administration future-proof and citizen-centric – with innovative approaches, sound consulting, and deep understanding of federal structures.
Since our founding in 2017, we have grown to over 110 employees across eight locations – Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Cologne, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Bucharest, and 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.
With us, you will help build something big – at the heart of the state’s digital transformation. We work closely with decision-makers at C-level and design complex federal programs from concept to implementation. We foster an open team culture, flat hierarchies, and the highest level of professionalism, always meeting on equal footing.
As a (Senior) Manager (f/m/x), you will take on professional responsibility, lead teams, and strategically develop topics. You will identify and develop leads with existing and potential new clients. You will have the opportunity to actively contribute to the growth of our Public Sector Practice and advance both personally and professionally.
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 enables you to develop as a subject matter expert, deepen your knowledge, and build strong specialization – while remaining part of our interdisciplinary project business. Our goal: for you to grow not only as a consultant but also as a thought leader in your practice area.
Lead strategic programs at federal and state level (e.g., administrative digitalization, register modernization, cloud & AI initiatives, security and resilience programs).
Advise C-level executives in ministries, authorities, and public IT service providers on organizational development, governance, steering, impact logic, and regulatory feasibility.
Manage stakeholders in a federal environment – close collaboration with BMI, BSI, ITZBund, FITKO, state CIOs, data centers, audit offices, and staff councils.
Act as a thought leader: advance our positions on digital transformation topics in the public sector.
Take responsibility for accounts and proposals, including service descriptions, EVB-IT-compliant contract models, cost-benefit analyses, and value arguments.
Facilitate and communicate: lead workshops and discussions, present results, and represent them in committees.
Build and develop teams: foster individual potential, provide coaching, and create an environment for rapid learning and growth.
