Careers

Development & Training

Development instead of stagnation – that is what we focus on as a firm and employer. We expect commitment and personal responsibility from our colleagues and offer long-term prospects for personal growth and joint success.

Career model

Regardless of your specialist focus, our overarching career model offers guidance for your professional development and, at the same time, freedom for the individuality of your personal career path. Depending on your previous personal experience and qualifications, you can join one of our five career stages. With each career stage, your operational responsibility for staff, budget and mandates grows, as does the strategic development of your own unit.

Through involvement in increasingly challenging projects and an accompanying talent program for the various career levels, we provide you with targeted support on your path to becoming an entrepreneurial consultant.

Career levels

Associate

As an associate, you’ll dive right into exciting projects. With us, you’ll work with companies across borders, ranging from German SMEs to global DAX-listed corporations. We’re not just a loose network, but a company characterized by direct communication, flat hierarchies, and shared values and goals.

Senior Associate

As a Senior Associate, you will play a key role in client projects, often collaborating with colleagues from different business areas and countries on interdisciplinary, cross-border initiatives.

The focus of our annual International Senior Associate Week is project management and interdisciplinary collaboration. This event is for all newly appointed Senior Associates worldwide and prepares them for their role.

Manager

Your focus will be on managing projects and providing close support to our mandates. In your role, you combine professional competence, consulting expertise and enjoy leading project teams.

During the Manager Insight Days, the newly appointed managers of a year group share their individual experiences and receive valuable input on the topic of lateral leadership.

Associate Partner

You will bring your professional excellence to bear into the coordination of various projects for our mandates and provide them with comprehensive support. In addition to supporting existing mandates, you will also inspire new mandates and support your colleagues in their professional and personal development.

As part of our Associate Partner Days, we offer newly appointed Associate Partners an intensive and varied workshop program on the topics of professional leadership, management and business development.

Partner

As a partner, you shape our firm with your expertise and personality and are a corner stone of our joint success. You embody our business model, our values and our caretaker principle and are a role model for your colleagues. In return, we offer you entrepreneurial freedom and the opportunity to expand and shape your business unit.

Together with other newly appointed partners, you will come together at our New Partner Network and can network intensively within the peer group.

Talent events

To help you transition to the next stage of your career, we’re inviting all our colleagues from around the world and across all disciplines to a joint event at our headquarters in Nuremberg. In addition to numerous expert presentations, the main focus will be on networking. Learning together and from one another. It’s always a real highlight.

The Associate Partner Days were a truly enriching experience for me! I got to meet some wonderful colleagues from all over the world whom I had previously only communicated with via email, and I also had the chance to get to know many colleagues from various Rödl disciplines. The workshops were inspiring and will certainly have a positive impact on my day-to-day work.
