  • Manage RfX processes including requirements definition, vendor evaluation, solution assessment, and commercial negotiations. 
  • Evaluate providers’ application capabilities (e.g., cloud-native development, microservices, modernization accelerators, DevSecOps maturity). 
  • Facilitate executive workshops on application strategy, modernization approaches, and sourcing options. 
  • Translate complex application and technology concepts into clear business-oriented recommendations. 
  • Coach junior consultants and ensure quality of deliverables across workstreams. 
  • Support thought leadership initiatives, proposal development, and enhancement of ISG’s app modernization and sourcing frameworks. 
  • Collaborate with cross-border ISG teams across consulting, research, sourcing advisory, and benchmarking. 
  
Required Qualifications 
  • 5–8 years of experience in management consulting, application services, software engineering strategy, ADM delivery, or technology sourcing.

  • Strong analytical and communication skills (German and English at C1+). 
  • Hands-on, structured approach and experience working in agile, cross-functional teams. 
  • Coaching or mentoring experience is a plus. 
  
What we offer
