Principal Consultant (in-house strategy/consulting team) – Germany

A unique opportunity to move from strategy consulting to 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 division, which is headed 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 Principal level. In this position, you will be responsible for the group’s most important projects and leading the largest international teams.

Key Requirements:

• Education from a top university (minimum Master’s degree level required). MBA’s and/or PhD’s are welcome (but not required).
• Strategy Consulting experience 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.
• Ability to motivate your team to become top performers and push their continued development.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, a talent for creative and innovative thinking, and prepared to take risks.

What they offer:

Our client offers excellent career prospects and a unique and welcoming team spirit. Long-term there are opportunities to progress within the internal consulting team, but also opportunities to move into interesting management roles within the wider global business.

As this team supports the European business, there will be some travel for example across Germany, UK, Sweden, Hungry and the Czech Republic. However, a large portion of the work is local. Overall, one can expect a much better work-life balance than top-tier consulting firms.

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