Senior Consultant​/Manager; f​/m​/d

As one of the leading consulting firms in the media industry, Highberg DACH (formerly SCHICKLER) actively drives the digital transformation of media companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

In today’s media landscape, data competence determines visibility, reach, and success. Anyone who wants to stay relevant must actively shape change – and that’s exactly why we’re looking for you.

You lead (sub-)projects focused on digital transformation, organizational development, or new business models.

You analyze complex challenges, develop strategies, and implement them together with our clients.

You contribute fresh ideas, drive innovation, and sustainably strengthen our impact with clients.

You take responsibility—not only within projects but also for developing our team by coaching colleagues and sharing knowledge.

You work in interdisciplinary teams—across strategy, data, and technology—and play an active role in shaping the evolution of our consulting approaches.

At Highberg, we turn vision into movement and ambition into reality. We know that real transformation demands more than ideas: it demands people who make them happen. We believe in doing, not just designing. In partnerships built on trust and shared purpose. Our people work as one, combining humanity, strategy, and deep expertise. Because when people and purpose move together, we create change that endures.

We are both the architects and the builders of transformation, making sure plans become reality

We work side by side with you. Committed and invested, taking ownership from start to finish

We combine international scale with strong local presence in The Netherlands and DACH

At Highberg, we believe hiring is a two-way conversation. It’s about finding the right fit for both you and us. Our hiring process is designed to be transparent, thoughtful, and efficient, giving you a clear sense of who we are and how we work. Here’s what you can expect along the way:

We start with a friendly chat to get to know you better — your background, interests, and what drives you. It’s also a chance for you to learn more about our culture, values, and how we work.

Next, you’ll meet with team members or leaders for a deeper discussion about your experience, goals, and how you collaborate. This helps us assess mutual fit and alignment with our projects.

Depending on the role, you may be invited to complete a short case study or deliver a presentation. This step gives you the opportunity to showcase your expertise and thought process in action.

Once we’re aligned, we’ll send you an offer and guide you through our onboarding program — ensuring a smooth start and helping you quickly feel part of the team.
