Manager / Senior Manager Inhouse Consulting - Data & AI Strategy (all genders, full-/part-time)

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 especially in the field of data & AI, before transitioning to the next exciting career step within our company after approximately 2-4 years. As a colleague and trusted partner, you support projects from design to implementation, inspiring change throughout the organization. You own projects end-to-end, handling interactions with internal clients and guiding project teams in flat team structures.

In this pivotal role, you will lead high-impact client projects across Healthcare, Life Science, Electronics, and Enabling Functions, leveraging your AI expertise to translate complex business challenges into scalable, AI-driven solutions. Alongside your client work, you will contribute to IC's internal AI agenda – identifying use cases, upskilling colleagues, and advancing responsible AI practices within the team. While your impact will be centered on these domains, you will have the flexibility to extend your influence on strategic initiatives beyond this scope as needed.

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.

Who you are:

Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Data Science, Information Systems, Economics, Management with data-focus, or related field

Ability to foster a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and responsible AI use within the team

Awareness of AI governance principles, ethical AI practices, and emerging regulatory frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act) is a plus

Exceptional communication, presentation, and stakeholder engagement skills including the ability to translate technical AI concepts for executive and non-technical audiences

We celebrate all dimensions of diversity and believe that it drives excellence and innovation, strengthening our ability to lead in science and technology. We are committed to creating access and opportunities for all to develop and grow at your own pace. Join us in building a culture of inclusion and belonging that impacts millions and empowers everyone to work their magic and champion human progress!
