Manager / Senior Manager Inhouse Consulting - Post-Merger Integration (all genders)
Work Your Magic with us! Ready to explore, break barriers, and discover more? We know you’ve got big plans – so do we! Our colleagues across the globe love innovating with science and technology to enrich people’s lives with our solutions in Healthcare, Life Science, and Electronics. Together, we dream big and are passionate about caring for our rich mix of people, customers, patients, and planet. That's why we are always looking for curious minds that see themselves imagining the unimaginable with us.
Your Role We love consulting! Do you? As the company's internal consultancy, we tackle strategic projects across Healthcare, Life Science, Electronics, and Enabling Functions. Our diverse team of around 75 colleagues brings expertise from top-tier external consultancies, major industry players, and top academic institutions. With offices in Darmstadt (HQ), the Greater Boston Area (USA), and Singapore, we deliver high-impact projects to the company's most critical business challenges. Working directly with senior management, we lead local, regional, and global initiatives that drive organizational success. Beyond providing consulting services, we serve as a talent incubator for our company, with a considerable number of colleagues transitioning into key leadership or expert roles throughout the organization every year. Combining both, business consulting and people development, we contribute to the company's success and accelerate your career!
You will work as part of project teams, providing business consulting primarily in the field of post-merger integrations before transitioning to the next exciting career step within our company after approximately 2-4 years. As you manage post-merger integrations end-to-end, you will set up and run Integration Management Offices, orchestrate Day-1 readiness, define target operating models, and deliver identified synergies. As a colleague and trusted partner, you inspire change throughout the organization, handle interactions with internal clients and guide project teams in flat team structures. As Data & AI are key drivers of innovation and performance at our company, you proactively identify and apply Data & AI opportunities in your projects.
Our Approach Differs From External Consulting. We Offer
Empowerment: You own your projects from proposal development to steering committee presentations, and project closure. Project assignments are matched with your individual development goals and reflect your level of seniority. You will be able to directly experience the impact your work has on our business and patients worldwide.
Career development: Your leadership in challenging consulting projects will give you high visibility across our business sectors, allowing you to cultivate a deep internal network and ultimately positioning you for a successful transition into your next chapter within our company. While advancing your own professional growth, you simultaneously invest in mentoring and developing junior colleagues.
Flexibility of work: You will experience our high-impact culture with less business travel and more flexible work arrangements than in external consulting. Moreover, we run a hybrid workplace approach with a healthy mix of remote work and office presence.
