Senior Management Consultant

About the Role

Join Korn Ferry to influence the Future of Work while being based anywhere in Germany, contractually linked to our Frankfurt office. The workplace landscape is evolving swiftly with pay transparency changing reward strategies, organizational structures being reevaluated, and skills gaining new importance. Leaders require innovative approaches to attract, keep, and engage talent amidst these transformations while boosting business results.

Korn Ferry supports leading global organizations in addressing these challenges. We seek skilled Human Capital and Management Consultants specialized in Reward Strategy, Organisation Design, Organisation Strategy, and Job Architecture to expand our German team.

• Guide clients through operating model changes and workforce transformations.
• Align reward, talent, and workforce strategies for sustainable business impact.
• Support compliance with emerging regulations and evolving employee expectations and work styles.

• How job and career structures can enable workforce transformation.
• Development of reward systems that are equitable, transparent, and commercially sound.
• Structures and talent strategies that drive high performance.
