Managing Director (m/f/d)

The Cologne Institute for Management Consulting (KI.M) is part of Acture Germany. For many years, we have been supporting companies with topics related to aptitude diagnostics, leadership development, and personnel and organizational development. In doing so, we combine technical excellence with a high degree of customer orientation and the personal commitment of our consultants, trainers, and coaches.

At the same time, the next growth phase is beginning for KI.M: Alongside our successful consulting business, we want to open up new potentials, specifically develop our business model further, expand digital and hybrid offerings, and further strengthen collaboration within the Acture Group.

For this task, we are looking for an entrepreneurially minded leader as Managing Director (m/f/d).

You will not simply lead an existing company: You will actively shape the future of KI.M and combine leadership, product, and business development.

• You will assume overall strategic, operational, and economic responsibility for KI.M and actively shape its future. As part of the German management team, you will report directly to the CEO Germany.
• You will lead and develop our consultants, trainers, and coaches, provide them with orientation, and foster a culture of trust, personal responsibility, and constructive-appreciative collaboration – within KI.M and together with the colleagues from Acture Germany.
• You will intensify existing customer relationships, acquire new customers, and tap into additional growth opportunities.
• You will strategically further develop KI.M's service portfolio in the context of the Acture portfolio and provide impetus for new business areas and future-proof business models.
• You will also contribute your expertise to selected projects and strategically important customer relationships.
• You will strengthen KI.M's positioning within the Acture Group and in the market and act as an important link between KI.M and the teams of Acture Germany.

• You possess many years of leadership and management experience and have already taken responsibility for teams, departments, business units, or comparable business units.
• You think entrepreneurially, understand economic contexts, and have a pronounced understanding of the market and customers.
• You have experience in corporate and/or management consulting, ideally in leadership development, transformation, change management, aptitude diagnostics, or personnel development, and have previously led or operationally managed comparable projects.
• You combine a strategic perspective with pragmatic implementation strength and manage to translate ideas into sustainable results.
• You have experience in expanding customer relationships, tapping into new business opportunities, and further developing products and business areas.
• You possess excellent communication and storytelling skills as well as a confident demeanor and can adapt accordingly to different target groups and stakeholders. This enables you to win over and inspire others for your ideas and visions.
• You have experience or a strong understanding of digital business models, hybrid service offerings, and scalable services.
• You are confident in dealing with dynamic, high-growth environments, possess high self-motivation, and pronounced organizational skills.
• Furthermore, you are willing to attend appointments and projects not only online but also on-site and are prepared to travel accordingly.
• You hold a degree (Diplom or Master) in Business Administration, Economics, Psychology, or a comparable field.

We are looking for a leader who provides orientation, builds trust, conveys clarity, and makes decisions.

With us, you will become part of an open, smart, and committed team that works with passion on a common mission: to effectively develop people, teams, and organizations. In conjunction with the expertise of Acture Germany, we work to sustainably strengthen health, motivation, and performance.

What sets us apart is our way of collaborating: we communicate openly, support each other, and constructively challenge each other to improve together. In doing so, we take responsibility, proactively tackle challenges, and act with integrity, respect, and a clear awareness of our social responsibility.
