Your Career, Your Path

Growing Careers with Structure and Choice

Your career at iC Consult is yours to shape. You bring the drive and the direction – we provide the framework, the people, and the support to help you get there. Whether you’re just starting out or taking your next career step, you’ll find room to grow here: at your own pace, along your own path, with space for your individual strengths and focus areas.

Different Paths, One Framework

There is no one-size-fits-all. Within our shared model there are two career frameworks – each with countless individual paths – depending on strengths, interests, and opportunities:

Consultants Path

Consultants delivering Identity Security solutions for our clients.

Oliver

Senior IAM Consultant and Team Lead

After 12 years in the armed forces, Oliver transitioned into business informatics and joined iC Consult as an IAM Consultant. Today he works on Identity Management projects for one of Germany’s largest automotive manufacturers – and felt at home from the very first conversation. “The varied tasks and the opportunity to organize releases make my day-to-day work exciting and diverse.”

Internal Functions Path

Internal Functions support and enable the organization and serve our delivery business – across e.g. Project Management Office, Quality Management, People & Development, Sales, Channel & Marketing, and Finance & Controlling.

“My path at iC Consult didn’t exist before, I got to shape it myself: as the first trainee in 2019, I went from project management to Executive Assistant to the Chief Marketing & Sales Officer to building iC Consult’s own Sales Operations function. Today, I lead our Commercial Operations department in a global role. Here, what counts isn’t your title, but what you want to achieve. Bring good ideas and drive, and you’ll find the space to build something.”

Global Sales Operations Manager

Open to Career Changers and Internal Moves

Whether you’re joining us from an adjacent IT or security field, returning after a career break, or moving between paths internally – we welcome growth in many forms. Several colleagues have switched between consulting and internal roles as their interests evolved.

 

Across all roles, development is guided by the same principles:

 

Excellence

Contribution

Accountability

Clear Orientation Through Excellence Levels

Career development at iC Consult is built on a transparent Excellence Model that applies across the organization. Excellence Levels describe increasing responsibility, ownership, and impact – from early career roles to senior expert and leadership positions.

The model helps answer key questions:

1.

What is expected at each stage?

2.

How does responsibility grow over time?

3.

What does impact look like at different levels?

It offers clarity without forcing a single career direction.

“I joined iC Consult as a SailPoint Consultant. Thanks to the trust and support around me, I got to work on exciting projects that shaped my technical and professional growth. That led to my promotion to Senior Consultant, with responsibilities in presales and our Global SailPoint Centre of Excellence (CoE). From there, I became Lead of the SailPoint CoE UK, and most recently Head of SailPoint CoE Europe. I’ve enjoyed this journey, and I’m looking forward to what’s next.”

Grow Through Contribution, Not Job Titles

Your development is shaped by what you bring and what you’re ready to own – not only by your job title.

Responsibility

Expands from yourself to projects, teams, and the organization.

Contribution

Shifts from execution to optimization, enablement, and strategic influence.

Ownership

Becomes broader and more visible.
Development conversations focus on readiness, contribution, and sustainable growth. While there are no fixed timelines, your team lead will give you a clear sense of where you stand and what the next step looks like.

Enablement Through Learning and Practice

Learning is embedded into daily work, not treated as an add-on. Development is supported through:
