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

The 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.

Your role combines three dimensions that belong together.

Deliver impact
You design and deliver leadership, assessment, and development work for complex organizational realities, translating ambiguity into clarity and action.

Grow the business
You build long-term client relationships, recognize meaningful opportunities, and help shape engagements through insight and credibility, not pitching.
You take shared commercial accountability for the growth and success of your client portfolio, contributing directly to sustainable revenue and long-term partnerships.

Develop people
You support and challenge colleagues, contribute to consulting quality, and help grow the maturity of teams and individuals.
