Director – Leading Global Energy Company

A unique opportunity to move from strategy consulting to the industry. Our client is one of the world’s leading Energy service providers with their headquarters based in Germany, with more than 40,000 employees working internationally across many countries.

The Team:

This opportunity is with the internal consulting/strategy division, which is headed up by a senior management team of ex top-tier strategy consultants. The team acts as a strategic partner, supporting the Board and Executive Management on high-impact, visionary projects to shape the future of Energy. These range from initial strategy development to implementation, digital, operations and transformation, across all of their key business units including Corporate, Renewables, Customer Solutions and Energy Networks.

With over 20 nationalities, it’s a diverse international environment. The primary business language is English, therefore German language is generally not required. It’s a highly energetic team with a collaborative culture, combined with real ‘fun-factor’ and an outstanding team spirit.

The Role:

The team is growing and currently hiring at the Director level. In this role, you will act as a direct sparring partner for their top senior management team, being fully responsible for designing and realizing their most important projects, coaching principals and project managers, acting as a thought leader, and making a significant contribution to the Group’s overall commercial success.

Key Requirements:

• A Degree from a leading university (minimum Master’s degree level required).
• A minimum of 10 years of relevant professional experience (a large portion of which should be from a top management consulting firm)
• A genuine interest in the Energy sector (previous experience in the Energy sector is not required).
• Outstanding analytic and problem-solving capabilities
• Even in difficult situations, your excellent communication and moderation skills allow you to effectively win over senior management.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, strong leadership and decision-making ability, a talent for creative and innovative thinking, and prepared to take risks and a readiness to accept responsibility.

What they offer:

This is a great opportunity for a current partner (or senior principal) in a consulting firm to move into a very successful multinational corporation. The position offers a lot of entrepreneurial freedom and operational responsibility, combined with future development opportunities into top management roles within the wider global business.

As this team supports the European business, there will be some travel across Europe. However, there is also a lot of work locally. Overall, one can expect a much better work-life balance than top-tier consulting firms.

Total package: Competitive base and bonus, plus relocation support and many other attractive benefits.
