Job description

At Efficio, we're not just a consulting firm; we're a team of dedicated experts committed to transforming procurement and supply chain functions. Our mission is to drive sustainable, measurable value for our clients through innovative solutions and deep industry insights. Join us and be part of a dynamic environment where your skills and ideas make a real impact.

Efficio is the world’s largest specialist procurement and supply chain consultancy, with offices across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. We’re a diverse team of over 1,000 individuals, representing more than 60 different nationalities and speaking 40+ languages – and we’re continuing to grow rapidly!

We are recruiting for our German office where you'll be joining a growing team of consultants supporting projects across the country and internationally. Our consultants provide flexible support to clients whether it is a rapid assessment, short term savings realisation or embedding in a long-term partnership to deliver lasting and measurable value to clients.

As a Manager you will be understanding the client's wider business challenges, finding business problems in your clients that we could help solve, report back to the VP and work with colleagues to identify solutions. You will be a leader on your project by driving the team efforts, managing risks and any challenges, including:

• Planning and implementing strategies, making sure targeted outcomes are achieved with the support of the team
• Responsible for the quality, timeliness and output of project deliverables
• Acting as a decision maker assigning roles and responsibilities for the team
• Regular direct communication with client stakeholders and project VPs

Our collaborative and inclusive culture is what makes us stand out. At Efficio, colleagues with diverse backgrounds, ideas, and viewpoints come together to identify innovative solutions for our clients - and so we're looking for our new team members to bring strong communication, empathy, and relationship-building skills to maintain this culture as we grow.

We encourage our teams to proactively innovate and challenge the status-quo, backed by strong analytical thinking and creative problem-solving abilities. We're looking for team members who enjoy and have experience of digging into complex challenges at a leading management consultancy or in a relevant industry position.

Strong opportunities for career growth are an important part of our offering; as such, we love seeing ambition and a proactive approach to shaping your career to your goals and interests.

To meet client needs, we look for flexibility to travel; you can notify us of your preferences when applying.

We'd love to hear about any additional skills or experiences you bring to the table. We're particularly interested in:

• Full fluency in both English and German
• Prior consulting experience and functional knowledge within strategic sourcing, procurement transformation and supply chain, ideally with some previous experience in Business Development
• Project management and people management experience
• A strong academic background
