- You advise companies on the strategic management and operational optimization of working capital and cash management as part of performance improvement, transformation, and restructuring programs.
- In doing so, you take responsibility for individual workstreams and support the coordination of cross-functional teams (e.g. Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement, Sales) in interdisciplinary projects, and build trust-based client relationships at eye level.
- As a senior consultant, you develop sustainable cash excellence initiatives as part of overarching value creation strategies (e.g., CFO agenda, operating model, finance transformation).
- You shape cash targets within the context of broader business strategies (e.g., growth financing, investment flexibility, capital efficiency).
- You analyze end-to-end processes to identify cash potential and operational levers.
- You design dashboards, cash KPIs, and performance tracking structures – and set up liquidity plans to monitor and embed the measures effectively.
- Beyond client work, your contribution to internal development is also valued: You engage in business development initiatives, support acquisition efforts, and mentor junior team members.
