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. 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. You will 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.
