Manager - Strategy, Transformation & AI (m/w/d)

In a world where bold strategies still fail without the right people to make them real, we're looking for a Manager to own that gap. You've spent years sharpening your craft — structuring complex problems, earning client trust, leading teams through ambiguity. You know what good looks like. Now you're ready to lead projects end-to-end, grow accounts, shape how Eidra scales, and leave a mark that outlasts any single engagement.

Who is Eidra?

Eidra is not just another consulting company — it's a collective driven by the conviction that business transformation requires a combination of management consulting and best-in-breed expertise. We are united by the belief that real transformation happens when bold ideas meet world-class execution. That's why Eidra brought together the best-in-breed companies and designed a model to help leaders create great change.

What will you do?

• As a Manager, you take full ownership of project delivery, client relationships, and the growth of your team; serving as the connective force between strategic thinking and measurable outcomes.

• Lead Projects End-to-End: Structure and manage medium-to-large transformation engagements across verticals, guiding teams through the critical path, addressing risks proactively, and being accountable for delivery quality and overall client satisfaction

• Act as a Trusted Client Advisor: Independently challenge and validate client issues at senior stakeholder level, drive complex stakeholder situations with confidence, and build the kind of relationships that make clients come back

• Develop and Coach Your Team: Build effective project teams, create a motivating and inclusive work environment, actively coach junior colleagues, and take real responsibility for their development curve

• Drive Business Development: Strengthen and expand your professional network, actively identify opportunities for Eidra to present its offerings, contribute to sales processes, and secure account continuity — business development is a core part of the Manager role at Eidra, not an afterthought

• Shape Eidra from the Inside: Lead internal development initiatives, contribute to value offering development with an entrepreneurial mindset, and help strengthen Eidra's market position and competitiveness

Who are you?

• Master's degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field

• 5–8 years of relevant experience in management consulting or in a strategic role with direct exposure to complex, cross-functional transformation projects

• Proven track record of leading project teams and managing senior client relationships — with real ownership over delivery quality and client outcomes

• Strong understanding of AI and its business applications — you can articulate where technology creates value and guide clients through what's feasible and impactful

• Structured thinker and compelling communicator — you adapt your style from project team to C-suite without losing clarity or conviction

• A natural team leader: you coach proactively, manage team wellbeing, know when to delegate, and have a genuine impact on the people you work with

• Fluent in German and English, written and spoken

• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications (PowerPoint, Excel, etc.)

Bonus points for:

• An existing professional network that opens doors — for client development, account growth, or new business opportunities across Eidra

• Experience in data science, machine learning, or AI implementation

• Proficiency in financial modeling, process design methodologies, or data visualization tools
