Vacancy
Consultant (m/f/d)
Job description
We firmly believe that crises refine us. As individuals, as teams, as organisations. They show us our strengths and weaknesses clearly and unsparingly. And they motivate us to continually surpass ourselves.
That is why we work exclusively in these powerful moments: during critical upheavals in significant medium-sized companies. Where responsibility is clear and a rapid change of course is necessary and possible.
In strategy, finance and leadership. In analysis, concept and implementation. With 20 years of experience in strategy consulting, turnaround management and private equity.
With us, you will experience and learn hard business administration and human leadership. When it really counts and for those who really need it. With 12 ambitious colleagues, we are at the beginning of our development into one of the leading transformation and turnaround managers. With excellent network partners and, above all, with clients who are worth our passion. We would like to expand our team with committed colleagues who share this aspiration and actively shape our development.
What you can expect
With us, you will develop into an experienced manager with a comprehensive understanding of finance, business models and leadership faster than you would like.
You will be responsible for solving problems that many before you have struggled with.
You will need and develop all your skills: analytical, creative, pragmatic, technical, methodological, communicative and personal.
You will work in a team of strong individuals who understand what teamwork means.
You will want for nothing, from fair remuneration to comfortable travel and good hotels to high-quality technical equipment that optimally supports your work.
We promote your further development through internal and external seminars, personal mentoring by the founder and, if required, professional coaching from manager level upwards.
You can live wherever you want, because we work at our clients' premises or remotely. We find flexible, inspiring locations for our internal meetings.
Your responsibilities:
You will analyse business models, finances and management systems of upper mid-sized companies.
You will assist in the development of viable turnaround concepts and integrated business plans.
You will work closely with management on the implementation of structural, operational and financial measures.
You will actively drive internal projects forward and contribute to the further development of Aspera Partners.
You will familiarise yourself with our working methods and be supported by experienced colleagues as you take on responsibility in line with your experience.
What you bring to the table
You have successfully completed a business-related (master's) degree with above-average grades.
You have gained initial relevant practical experience through internships or working as a student trainee.
You have a balanced personality that combines seemingly contradictory traits: sociable, reflective, analytical, pragmatic, creative, structured, serious, self-deprecating, authentic and professional.
You communicate confidently in German and English and can present complex content in a clear and understandable way.
Benefits
EGYM Wellpass

Application process
1.0 Application
Please send us your detailed application documents including: cover letter, CV, high school diploma and relevant certificates.
We want to get a comprehensive first impression of you at a glance. With decades of experience, we know how to assess whether you might be a great fit for our team.
Within a few days, you will receive our assessment of whether we will take the next steps together. The best way to send your documents is directly by mail to:
bewerbung@aspera-partners.com
Your application goes straight to our founder, who makes the first decision himself.
2.1 First interview
In the first interview, we want to get to know you and give you the chance to get to know us as well. In a relaxed conversation of about 45–60 minutes, we’ll talk about what drives us, what interests you most and some of the moments that have shaped our journeys so far.
By the end of the conversation, we should both have a good sense of whether we can imagine being on the same team.
2.2 Case Study
The case interview begins with a short presentation in which you introduce yourself using a few prepared slides.
Afterwards, we will give you a case study to work on and then discuss with us afterwards. This not a theoretical exercise but a slightly modified real case from our transformation and turnaround practice.
2.3 Personal Fit
If for organizational reasons you haven’t had the chance to meet our founder earlier in the process, you will meet Felix in person. He will talk to you about your experiences, your goals, and your concerns, and answer any questions that came to you during the process. Finally, we will clarify the three key questions together: When will you start? What position will you start in? And what salary do you have in mind?
3.0 Offer
Within 24 hours, our founder will get back to you to arrange the next steps:
sending the employment contract, signing, and project onboarding.
Then we’re ready to go and we look forward to welcoming you to the team!
We look forward to getting to know you.
