More information about us and the role:

Application processes can initially spark curiosity but quickly become tedious. Let's approach this differently – we've dug out our old school yearbook and used it as a template to describe our work, our team, and the company we're building together:

My name is: Chili and Change (including: Laura, Hendrik, Jenny, Nico, Paul, Lara, Jana, Lisa, David, Maike, Annabel, and another Jana)

Five words that describe me: Consulting for modern collaboration, self-organized, unconventional, colorful, curious

I was born: Early 2019 by Hendrik and Paul, who previously successfully built an innovation agency with 18 other people as a self-organized team, bringing a wealth of experience.

I call home: A beautiful, bright co-working office with a workshop space in Frankfurt-Bornheim... but also, of course, the home office.

What I do well: Showing leaders how to break new ground, experiential learning, building and supporting strategic teams for clients, establishing self-organized organizational structures, doing things differently, laughing at work.

What I love: Confidently seeing opportunities in change, using time consciously and focused, doing meaningful work, after-work gatherings on our rooftop terrace.

My big dream is: To sustainably and positively change how people work together!

How others would describe me: Innovative practitioners! The Chilis know what they're talking about and authentically live what they preach. Empathetic, relaxed, systemic, and focused.

What others like about me: Self-responsibility, approachability, professional yet friendly interaction with clients, flexible working hours, transparent salary model, continuous team development, exciting projects.

What you can learn from me: Developing effective interventions for clients, how a self-organized team works in practice, pitching, effective client requirement clarification, great learning experiences, conducting technical-philosophical discussions.

What annoys me: Distrust, rigid processes that are more important than good collaboration, stagnation, pointless activities, unfocused chaos, being unpragmatic.

What I'd like to do someday: Write a book about our leadership tool, the Shared Leadership Compass.

During the day, you'll find me: At corporate and mid-sized clients, on-site or virtually in video conferences, or in our office discussing ideas and developing the company together.

What sets me apart from...

Management Consulting: Just as precise, but with more sleep and less suits. New Work Co-Working Think Tank Space: Just as enthusiastic and creative, but with more results. Systemic Consulting Firm: Just as effective, but digital.

Of course, this type of posting leaves some questions open – and that's good! Ultimately, only getting to know each other personally helps, because the most important thing for us is that the interpersonal chemistry is right. So, if you've read this with amusement and are curious about us, send us your friendship book entry. If your LinkedIn profile isn't up-to-date, feel free to send us your CV as well. Then, a virtual coffee together won't be far off...
