Geschäftsführender Partner (m/w/d) für Interim Manager und Berater: Mandate im Retainer statt Projekte im Tagessatz

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential management consulting organization that is expanding its network in northern and eastern Germany. Our talent team is seeking experienced interim managers and consultants who are ready to transition from project-based work to a retainer-based partnership model.

This is not a traditional employment position. Our client invites seasoned consultants to establish and lead their own consulting practice under an established international brand, serving mid-market business owners across an exclusive territory in Berlin and surrounding regions.

The model differs from typical interim work: you will work with five to ten clients simultaneously on twelve-month retainers rather than day-rate projects. You will apply a proven methodology rather than developing your own approaches, and you will collaborate with partners across five countries rather than working alone.

Responsibilities

• Establish and grow your own consulting practice with exclusive territorial rights in northern or eastern Germany
• Guide mid-market business owners to identify profit leakage and implement sustainable improvements in profitability, resilience, and enterprise value
• Build and maintain a client base of five to ten concurrent engagements, typically spanning twelve months or longer
• Acquire new clients using structured discovery processes and profitability assessments rather than open-ended proposals
• Develop a referral network with tax advisors, banks, and other professional partners
• Represent the consulting brand at industry events, associations, and with key stakeholders in your region
• Collaborate with international partners to share insights, methodologies, and best practices
• Apply proprietary consulting programs and tools to deliver measurable client outcomes

What We're Looking For

Essential Experience:

• Multiple years working as an interim manager, business consultant, or advisory board member serving mid-market companies
• Prior leadership roles with direct responsibility for business results, not just functional expertise in large corporations
• Proven track record working directly with business owners and their leadership teams
• Demonstrated ability to self-generate client engagements
• Residence in northern or eastern Germany

Required Competencies:

• Strategic and commercial judgment
• Entrepreneurial mindset with long-term perspective
• Ability to build trust-based relationships with executives and business owners
• Independent, resilient, results-oriented, pragmatic, and authentic working style
• Native-level fluency in German (required); good English proficiency
• Financial capacity to bridge a ramp-up phase and invest in building your own practice
• Willingness to adopt shared standards, unified branding, and common reporting frameworks

Important Note: This opportunity is structured as an independent business partnership, not salaried employment. You will work as an entrepreneur building your own client base. The first year focuses heavily on client acquisition, with revenue building during this phase. How existing client engagements are handled during transition will be discussed in initial conversations.

How We Work With You

Candidates apply through Get A Job.ai. Our recruitment team conducts initial screening conversations to assess fit and answer your questions about the partnership model. Qualified candidates are then introduced to our client for confidential discussions, including:

• An initial online conversation (30-45 minutes)
• An information session detailing the complete economic framework
• Conversations with existing partners in the network
• Reflection time before any commitment

Please do not attempt to contact the client organization directly. All communication during the selection process is coordinated through Get A Job.ai to ensure confidentiality and proper evaluation.

The client provides comprehensive onboarding over ten workshop days across two months, covering methodology, digital tools, templates, and a structured program for client acquisition. During the startup phase, you will receive support with lead generation to accelerate your first client conversations. You will work from a home office or regional location with low fixed costs and high autonomy over growth pace and scale.

Pay

This is an entrepreneurial partnership, not a salaried position. The client does not provide income guarantees. Economic terms of the partnership, including revenue sharing and territorial arrangements, are disclosed fully in the initial conversation. Your income will depend on the client base you build within your exclusive territory.

Equal Opportunity

Get A Job.ai is committed to inclusive recruiting practices. We evaluate all candidates based on qualifications and professional experience regardless of age, background, or personal characteristics.
