Executive Consultant (f/m/d) Leadership & Organizational Consulting

About this role

For those who are curious by nature.
Who are not satisfied with easy answers or ready-made solutions.
Who keep asking, learning, and refining, even when things already work.
atrain is a global leadership consultancy working with top Global 1000 organizations, companies that shape industries and continuously rethink how leadership and people development create impact.
Our clients share a simple belief: their strongest advantage lies in people, how they are assessed, developed, trusted, and supported to take responsibility.
They work with us on questions such as:
How do we lead in complexity?
How do we develop leaders and organizations in ways that truly support performance and growth?
How do we assess potential and readiness with clarity and fairness?
How do we evolve without losing coherence or humanity?
We believe meaningful progress does not come from tools or models alone.
It comes from judgment, trust, and courageous dialogue.
Our work sits where people, leadership, and business reality meet. We co-create tailored solutions across leadership and people development, assessment, and organizational evolution, always grounded in client context, never generic.
We are driven by trust, impact, and open communication, and by working with people who take responsibility for both thinking and outcomes.
As an Executive Consultant, you act as a senior partner to clients operating at the highest levels of their organizations.

You bring most of the following:
A strong academic background (Master’s or PhD) in Psychology, Business Administration, or related fields
Several years of experience in executive-level consulting, leadership development, assessment, or comparable advisory work
The ability to deliver complex client work and grow trusted relationships with C-level and Board stakeholders in highly demanding, successful organizations
Experience mentoring, guiding, or developing other consultants

Intellectual curiosity, commercial awareness, and an international mindset
Willingness to travel internationally when required

Meaningful work with complex leadership and organizational challenges
A high-trust environment with autonomy and accountability

Flat hierarchies, open dialogue, and thoughtful collaboration
Flexibility combined with responsibility and life-work balance
