We live what we preach: we have been carbon neutral since 2019. That means we continuously reduce and offset all our emissions in the categories / scopes according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol:
- Buildings: electricity, heating or cooling, water, waste
- Employees: business travel, vehicle fleet, food, beverages and snacks, commuting/mobile working
- Purchasing: consumables, furniture and IT equipment, external services
- Clients
When we moved to our new office in September 2020, we evaluated each building block for its climate friendliness from the beginning. This includes:
- Own e-charging points
- Furniture made from recycled material mix
- 100% green electricity and eco-district heating
- A superior tap system where hot, cold and sparkling water comes directly from the tap, replacing kettles and plastic bottles incl. their delivery and collection.
- LED lamps with motion sensors
- Waste separation incl. the important organic waste
- Sustainable office materials and promotional gifts
These and many other aspects are part of our office equipment. In addition, after two years of our own hard work, we decided to calculate our Co2 footprint in 2021 together with the renowned ClimateTech company Planetly in order to derive further measures for reduction. The sustainability team, consisting of employees from various hierarchical levels, also meets regularly to discuss new ideas and become even more climate-friendly.
Our work culture is characterized in particular by individuality, care, appreciation and trust. For us, this means addressing employees in their individual life situations and providing them with a working environment in which they can develop, master challenging tasks and live out their individual life plans.
Our premises, including the disabled toilet, are barrier-free and very generously designed. All entrances are accessible by elevator or at ground level. Equipment such as crockery and office supplies are located within easy reach.
We evaluate all applicants according to qualifications and team fit – regardless of age, ethnic or social origin, gender or sexual identity, religion or belief, disability or handicap. Because: Diversity enriches our company.
Our employees are deployed and paid according to their respective hierarchy level, regardless of gender or gender identity (there is no gender pay gap). Our project teams are based exclusively on competencies and are therefore completely gender-neutral.
We are particularly considerate of religion and ideology. There are opportunities to retreat for prayer and meditation. We also take vegetarian, pescetarian, vegan and halal diets into consideration.

Informative fireside evenings and our weekly alternating yoga sessions as well as circuit trainings – carried out by employees – are very popular.

KBC supports the personal development and life plan of every employee. After all, priorities in your private or professional life change, and so do your working hours. We offer you the opportunity to individually adjust your working hours to balance your work and private life. In this way, we create the basis for a good work-life balance, so that you have enough freedom for family and self-fulfillment – whether for voluntary work, further education or caring for a family member. We also allow you to take sabbaticals, as long as the company’s resources permit.
Our customers commission us worldwide to develop substantial solutions. Therefore, work assignments abroad are also possible on a temporary basis. We try to take personal or family needs into account as far as possible. In principle, the profession of management consultant is very mobile.
You learn on the job how to develop customized solutions for our customers’ future issues and their individual problems. You work in different teams and with different people. In this way, you will constantly expand your knowledge, both in depth and breadth, which will soon make you the “thinking head” and the “helping hand” for our customers. And you’ll gradually advance through the KBC career levels.
As part of our KBC Academy, you will attend all seminars, coaching sessions and courses for your professional and personal development as standard. We focus in particular on consultant skills such as leadership, communication, presentation and conflict management. However, all professional topics of our practices and services are also systematically trained in different depths. In addition, we offer further training through qualified courses with degrees on topics that interest you individually and help you develop your career at KBC.
On your first day of work and in the weeks that follow, you will receive informative and comprehensive onboarding. You will get to know all your colleagues personally, in particular your mentor, and have an introductory conversation with each of them. A detailed onboarding plan will guide you through all the practices, services and internal processes of our company. After three months at the latest, you’ll know your way around!
After a written invitation, you can give us suitable appointment suggestions, we will then coordinate these internally and give you a corresponding appointment confirmation. Possible changes can be coordinated at any time afterwards.
We will reimburse travel expenses to interviews. Please choose the most economical means of transport in terms of price and connection. As a rule, we reimburse second-class Deutsche Bahn travel costs. Please submit the receipts to us by e-mail after the interview and provide us with your bank details.
We are looking for people who bring their professional competence together with their personal empathy and the right amount of assertiveness to our customer projects. You should convince us of this personal and professional competence. The following tips will help you to present a case study:
Proceed in a structured manner: Make a note of the steps in the task and prioritize the tasks. A results-oriented approach is often half the battle.
Use your time: Make the most of your time and divide it up appropriately. To do this, it is usually a good idea to think about a course of action before you start.
Read the task carefully: Get an overview of what is asked and read the given information carefully. You may discover a hidden clue.
Ask questions: Don’t be afraid to ask questions. This will ensure that you have understood the question correctly and that any ambiguities have been clarified. There are no wrong questions.
Visual presentation: Simply standing there and talking will hardly motivate your counterpart to listen to you. Use tools to present your results in a coherent and management-friendly way. A flipchart is usually available for this purpose.
Red thread: Present your approach and justify your results in an understandable way along a common thread that runs through your presentation.
Presentation style: Present your results authentically rather than pretending, and explain your approach logically. Address intervening questions and take the role given in the case.
Don’t be afraid of knowledge gaps: If you don’t know a piece of information, have the courage to say that you will provide that information because you don’t want to jump to conclusions.
Keep calm: Last but not least, keep calm. It’s not always about the right outcome, but rather how you approach and present problems. Demonstrate your analytical thinking and presentation skills.
Practice makes perfect: Numerous cases are published for you to practice on. Just work on several cases – because here it’s practice, practice, practice…
Step 1
In an approx. two-hour interview with various team members from the area of operational consulting and the management, we give you the opportunity to get to know the structure, our business areas and corporate culture. Convince us of your personal and professional skills!
Step 2
A second appointment serves to test your professional skills. Depending on your experience, you will present your own proposals on a predefined topic or work on and present a case study derived from our consulting projects to a small team of KBC consultants. This is immediately followed by detailed feedback on your case work and performance.
Step 3
After the findings from the entire process, we make our decision in the team and submit an offer to you. In a detailed discussion, we explain our decision to you and agree on the contractual content with you.
If you do not want to apply via our career portal kbc.jobs.personio.de, you can send us your documents including cover letter, resume and references via e-mail to karriere@kbc-consultants.com.
To get a taste of the consulting profession, you can start as an analyst (internship or working student) during your studies. Afterwards, you can start as a Junior Consultant with a Bachelor’s degree or as a Consultant with a Master’s degree. Of course, it is also possible to start at a higher level at any time with the corresponding professional experience.
We hire consultants on a permanent basis. We always have vacancies for dedicated talent. Dare to apply, even if the job profile doesn’t quite match your professional skills or you need special conditions for physical limitations, for example.
As a university graduate, you apply either as a Junior Consultant (Bachelor’s degree) or Consultant (Master’s degree). If you have several years of relevant work experience, you can also apply for a higher level. However, choosing the exact level is not crucial in the application phase, as we can only assess which KBC level best corresponds to your previous education and professional experience after the entire application process. Therefore, you do not need to apply for several levels at the same time.
Please apply for the desired position online via our career portal at kbc.jobs.personio.de.
In addition to a cover letter, please include your curriculum vitae and certificates (university entrance qualification, transcript of records, vocational certificates, Bachelor’s/Master’s degree if available and proof of internship as well as employer references) with your application.
