Project Manager

For me, everyday is a little different and very much depending on my current project. Key aspects of a typical day are team check-ins, client (working) sessions, dedicated focus time, Partner-Jour-Fixes and challenges. I try to be in the office multiple days a week to be able to interact with my DHL Consulting colleagues as well as our customers at DHL (who are only one building next to us) frequently and in person. Not all of my working time is spend on my assigned project though - I am also driving different internal topics such as upskilling our New Joiners, doing business development, or exchanging with my peers on their projects with a cup of coffee :)

At Inverto, no two days are the same – it depends on the current project phase. However, a typical day often includes morning check-ins with the project team, client meetings, focus time for preparing presentations or analyses, working sessions with team members, and organizational alignments.

Beyond daily project work, feedback as well as personal and professional development are an integral part of our daily routine as consultants. Additionally, non-project-related topics play an important role, such as organizing events, participating in recruiting activities for potential new joiners, or supporting internal initiatives like sustainability or our women's network.

All in all, most days are quite varied, so flexibility is key — new challenges often come up, making every day dynamic and exciting.

I agree, it really depends on the project setting. Normally, your day involves Check-In Calls (or on site Check-Ins), meetings with the client, team meetings and focus time. I really enjoy the flexibility I have to structure my own day along my needs. I like to take a longer break at mid-day and use it for a run in the sun. Next to your own project work you can also participate in internal topics. That includes e.g., recruiting processes (interviews, breaks or rec-events) but also developing trainings or taking part in internal working groups. That is not mandatory, but at least for me it is a great way to balance the project work and helps you foster tkMC in the long run and be a crucial contributor :)

Interview with Gina Dahmann, Senior Consultant at DHL Consulting
 What skills do you need to be a Senior Consultant?You need good analytical skills so you can get to grips with a problem quickly and hone in on the solution. And you need the ability to explain ideas to the client in an easy and understandable way, so good communication is essential, too. How does DHL Consulting empower its women?By giving us the feeling that we are all valued — not because we’re women, but because we’re doing a good job. I also like its transparency around equal salary, and I’ve never had the feeling that male colleagues are more highly regarded or have better career opportunities than female colleagues. Plus I think it’s great that our CEO, Sabine Mueller, is an excellent role model and an example of female empowerment. The fact that we have a female leader makes me proud to be part of the DHLC team. What's the best thing about working at DHLC?I really like being surrounded by inspirational people. There’s a really cool crowd here and I’ve been learning a lot from them. DHLC also makes a big effort to be truly international with team members from across the world. That’s what makes us really unique as an organization. Do clients expect to see diversity in the DHLC teams?I think clients expect us to always be open-minded and to constantly generate great new problem-solving ideas. The best way to do that is by having a diverse crowd who all have different opinions. There’s no point in everyone thinking the same because it’s not the way to come up with innovative solutions. Also, as a team member, it’s really useful to have people with a range of different skills, views and experiences within the company, because then there’s always someone you can turn to for help and advice on any subject. Sounds interesting?
