Our internal job openings
Outstanding consulting doesn't just happen between 9 am and 5 pm in the office. Work wherever you can focus best: in the office, from home, at client sites, or temporarily from abroad. Part-time or a four-day workweek? Let's talk.
You'll start with a mentor and a structured onboarding process. After your first year, you'll have access to certifications, professional development opportunities, and fresh insights into assessment, AI, marketing, and recruiting. You'll also work on projects where your ideas are heard and put into action.
A laptop, a new iPhone, and noise-cancelling headphones come as standard. You can also use your iPhone privately – fewer devices, fewer cables, less hassle.
Why settle for just a fixed salary when you deliver outstanding results? With us, you'll receive unlimited bonus potential that rewards every extra mile you go. Ultimately, you're in control of how much you earn.
With 33 days of paid vacation, additional days off on your birthday, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, plus opportunities for workations or sabbaticals, you'll have plenty of room for life outside work.
Whether you're heading to a client meeting, spending a day at the office, or traveling across Germany, we've got you covered with an HVV or Deutschlandticket public transport pass. Company pool cars are available for appointments that aren't easily accessible by train.
You'll benefit from weekly one-on-one sparring sessions and a dedicated mentor who supports you from day one. You'll also receive continuous, valuable feedback through our 360-degree feedback system – not just from your manager, but also from your colleagues.
Wellpass gives you plenty of options: fitness, yoga, swimming, or whatever fits your lifestyle. With Corporate Benefits, you'll also enjoy discounts at more than 600 brands and retailers.
You'll be surrounded by people who value ambition and performance without the need for sharp elbows. We celebrate the little moments just as much as the big achievements – with team events, barista-quality coffee, fresh fruit, a candy bar, and special treats. Dogs are always welcome.
There are different ways for us to connect: either you reach out to us or we approach you. However, our internal recruitment process always remains the same – clearly structured, transparent, and focused on one shared goal: finding out whether we're the right fit for each other.

Four voices from our team share what makes Signature special to them – personally, honestly, and authentically.
