About us
DB Group offers attractive, customer-focused and environmentally friendly mobility, transport and logistics solutions and networks from a single source. We utilize the possibilities of digital technologies to improve our operational and administrative processes, to continuously develop services for customers, to integrate new services, and to simplify the customer interface.
Due to climate change and the growing volume of traffic, rail will become increasingly important in the coming years, as no other mode of transport is as climate-friendly as rail. With its “Strong Rail” umbrella strategy, Deutsche Bahn is laying the foundations to meet the growing challenges and fulfill its responsibilities. After all, Germany will only achieve its climate targets if it succeeds in shifting a massive amount of traffic to rail in the coming decade. The number of long-distance travelers is set to double to more than 260 million per year. Instead of 20 million today, 40 million people are expected to use DB's stations every day in the future. And by 2038, the company will be running on 100 percent electricity from renewable sources.
Intro to DB Management Consulting
Who we are
As the first point of contact for the DB Management Board and the business unit managers, we have been developing pioneering concepts for the strategic and operational challenges of the railroad since 2003. With more than 100 in-house consultants, we worked on a total of 55 projects in 2023.
What we do
We advise board members and business unit managers of all DB departments - from passenger and freight transport to infrastructure and logistics. Our project diversity ranges from the optimization of vehicle procurement concepts in regional transport to strategy work for Digital Rail Germany.
As DB’s inhouse consultancy, we are involved in the most important projects that fall under the Group’s Strong Rail strategy and are doing our part to drive the decarbonization of transport in Germany. We meet with our clients as equals, advise them as colleagues and always make them a part of the solution development and implementation process.
Daily Life at DB Management Consulting
With our practices – including the Regio, Long-distance Transport, Freight Transport and Infrastructure practices - we cover a wide variety of project topics within the DB Group.
We focus on these consulting topics, among others: Strategy development and implementation, quality improvement, cost reduction and sales increase.
Why you should join us
-
Development and career
We want you to achieve your personal goals! With regular structured feedback from your manager (every 3 months), 360-degree feedback (at least once a year) as well as 10 training days and first-class training courses with external and internal providers, we offer the right framework for this at every career level.
DB Management Consulting is your springboard to responsible management and project manager positions within the Group. Our broad project portfolio enables you to get to know the Group in all its complexity, diversity and dynamism from an internal perspective and to build up an extensive network. By the way: work shadowing is also a matter of course for us. -
Mobility
Our heart beats for mobility. That's why we want to offer you as much flexibility as possible. This includes offering you a NetzCard First (comparable to BahnCard 100, 1st class), which you can use to travel throughout Germany for business and pleasure.

Work-life balance
We firmly believe that you can only give 100 percent if you also have a balance. We make this possible with up to 40 days of vacation and sabbaticals of up to six months, for example. Our flextime models also give you the greatest possible flexibility in organizing your own working hours. Choose either more salary or more time in the form of time off and/or vacation.
