Career
You and elaboratum
– is it a match?
Welcome home! Perhaps your search for a new job, one that is more than just a job, ends here. You will find a team that supports each other and offers ample room for initiative and professional development. We are looking for you to join our digital consulting team, exactly as you are!

Framework
Salary, vacation, work anywhere – all of this must be right for you!
Perks
From A for Apple to Z for Zurich
Delicious coffee, free drinks, fresh fruit, and a job bike? Yes, we have that too.
But the small details that make a big difference are the coolest company hoodie ever, great office locations that are centrally located and modernly equipped, support for good home office equipment, and always an open ear and opportunities for a sabbatical or even workation. With our five locations in the great cities of Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Zurich, and Bern, you can perfectly combine work with a private trip. And beyond that, every year we have fantastic team events that have taken us to the most amazing places.
New Work
Office to go
We understand New Work: Simply work from wherever it makes sense.
For us, the workplace is not an obstacle, but rather supports optimal organization. Our colleagues can choose where and how they can work most creatively and focused – whether it’s a home office, co-working spaces in Bern, Zurich, Hamburg, Cologne, or our office in Munich: We can be the best team from anywhere! What helps us with this? Regular remote exchanges, but also regular face-to-face meetings such as office days, team evenings, or joint workshops.
Flexibility
All in Balance
Flexible working hours: For us, the logical consequence of a good balance.
Whether you’re an early bird or a late riser – going for a jog in the afternoon or during a lunch break… For us, your results count, not when you work. Of course, there are project phases that are more stressful – but also times when you can find balance again. It’s just as natural for you to work part-time with us. And you should completely switch off and not think about work during the 30 days of vacation everyone has with us.
Salary & Bonus
Transparent and fair
With us, you participate in the company’s success beyond a fair and attractive fixed salary.
You will find a transparent development and salary model that clearly shows you where you stand within your level and what you can achieve. Furthermore, we involve you in the operational success of the company. And operational means that in this calculation, we only consider aspects that you can influence.
Development
Our development process doesn’t fit into a template!
Trust
Shaping with Tailwind
You are exactly right with us if you want to help shape things.
Whether as a working student or a Senior Director, your impulses are valued, and you can make things happen and drive them forward. With us, you won’t find traditional teams or team leaders. We work and organize our company in Circles, which allows us to respond quickly and flexibly to changing requirements, and to work in a development- and strength-oriented, cross-functional manner. How does this work? With full trust in the expertise and abilities of our entire team!
Development
We accompany you
With us, there is no mold you have to fit into. Everyone in the team has the opportunity to develop according to their individual interests and pace!
We are firmly convinced that you are only truly good at what you do with great passion. How do we specifically support you in this? Through a regular and systematic feedback process that helps you reflect. A personal development advisor (PDA) accompanies you through this process and jointly develops your individual development plan with you. This way, you can specifically work on the topics that advance you personally and, consequently, us. We support you through an individual and tailor-made package, e.g., shadowing/
Secure Workplace
Security – also in the future
elaboratum has existed since 2010, and we have grown continuously since then.
We are constantly changing, but always thoughtfully and sustainably. This is reflected in our long-standing customer relationships as well as in our collaboration with a great team of service providers and external employees. We are particularly proud of our internal team with many “long-standing” as well as all the new colleagues who enrich us year after year. And we will continue this way: with long-term company development and a stable, growing team.
Spirit
You will search in vain for elbows and stumbling blocks here: One team, one dream!
This is us
With great passion and authenticity
We grow, we change, we listen to our team, and we sometimes adjust our course.
What defines us? Our individuality, which is also reflected in our team. Everyone with us can take on responsibility and expand it at their own pace and desire. You will meet a team with very diverse backgrounds and tremendous helpfulness and openness. Looking for sharp elbows? You’ll search in vain here, and we are proud of that. What is our goal? To maintain this spirit with further growth and to continue increasing our diversity.
Customer Orientation
The Customer & Us
We always interact at eye level, not only within our team but also with our clients.
In client projects, we see ourselves as team members, actively contributing and working towards project success every step of the way – from strategy and conception to implementation. The goal is always to deliver the optimal solution together with our clients and selected service providers.
Family-Friendly Work Environment
Family first!
Family and job don’t mix? With us, they do!
Who doesn’t know the daily madness? There are always ad-hoc situations that require an immediate response. A supportive and understanding team is invaluable then. And that’s exactly what you’ll find with us! Understanding and trust that you will use the freedom we provide in flexible working hours in such a way that work and leisure are in harmony.
Team Spirit
Hire and Celebrate!
Our daily routine largely takes place remotely – which makes regular personal meetings even more important to us.
And these meetings are legendary: once a quarter, we work together in workshops on strategy and team topics. But most importantly, we have a lot of fun with our team-building activities and evening celebrations. Whether it’s a soapbox race in Austria, exploring Zurich with the best city guides, a joint visit to Oktoberfest, the elaboratum Christmas party, a sailing trip, or a ski party – it’s always fantastic.
It works. elaboratum is a multi-award-winning employer.

FAQ
Any questions?
- What does the career path as a consultant look like?
-
In our initial get-to-know-you conversations, we gain an understanding of your background regarding experience and professional as well as personal competencies. We then discuss with you at which level we see an entry point within our team – from entry as a Consultant to Senior Consultant, Managing Consultant, Senior Managing Consultant, Director, up to Senior Director, we offer a range of entry and development opportunities. And all of this is completely transparent – so you know which competencies should be met at each level and what development path with what time horizon you can expect at elaboratum.
- I’ve never been a consultant. Should I still apply?
-
Absolutely! The majority of our consultants do not come from a traditional consulting background but from an agency or corporate context. And that is very valuable, because we work with our clients at eye level, and it is extremely helpful to have already experienced corporate structures.
- What can I earn at elaboratum?
-
We operate with a transparent career development process that is linked to regular feedback, an individual development plan, and corresponding salary bands. Depending on your entry level with us, we will transparently discuss with you where you stand within the respective salary band and what further development within that level might look like.
- What is your ideal consultant profile?
-
Honestly? We don’t have a specific ideal profile we’re looking for. Because with us, there isn’t one mold you have to fit into. Of course, as a consultant, you should be someone who always wants to develop further to stay one step ahead of client needs. Experience in e‑commerce and digital business should be present, as well as in project management.
However, it is much more important to us that we align in mindset. We are looking for proactive individuals and results-oriented people who enjoy creating and driving things forward from scratch. True to the motto: roll up your sleeves and shape elaboratum together.
You can see the specialist areas we are currently looking for further up. Or you can simply contact us first, and we can discuss potential opportunities together.
- Can I also develop my own topics at elaboratum?
-
Absolutely, and honestly, that is one of our core principles in the organization: a mindset of proactive individuals who constructively provide feedback to challenge our organization and our products, thereby advancing elaboratum.
We have laid the foundation for this in our structure, as we do not work in traditional teams but organize ourselves through Circles, where responsibilities are defined, but we do not operate according to a hierarchical model. Instead, we rely on the knowledge, expertise, and initiative of each individual within the Circle. Everyone with us is therefore a co-creator – and this is completely independent of whether you work with us as a working student or Senior Director.
Our organizational structure also allows you to expand your horizons at any time and contribute beyond your immediate scope, in line with your personal development goals.
- What is your understanding of leadership?
-
In line with our organizational structure, we at elaboratum do not live by the traditional model of a manager. We have defined responsible roles for our Circles, which assume a steering function for the respective Circle – this is completely independent of your level. Furthermore, we have the role of PDAs (Personal Development Advisors). This is a very central and important role for us, as it enables each of our consultants to receive personal development support. Essentially, as a PDA with us, you are the contact person for one or more consultants regarding their development at elaboratum. Our PDAs guide through a systematic feedback process, provide feedback and sparring in personal development planning, and challenge and support you in your self-reflection and in the selection of your project assignments.
- How much do I have to/
get to travel with you? -
This question cannot be answered generally. In fact, travel activity is rather low, and most project activities take place remotely.
- How many projects do your consultants typically work on simultaneously?
-
This question cannot be answered generally and varies greatly depending on the professional profile and phases. On average, however, our consultants work on approximately 3 projects.
