About Us
Intro to Volkswagen Group Consulting
As the in-house consulting of the Volkswagen Group, we advise the top management across the entire corporation. In doing so, we offer a decisive advantage compared to external consultancies: We are closer. We know the processes, the workflows, and the conditions. And we use this knowledge to develop targeted, company-oriented solutions for strategically important topics.
Daily Life at Volkswagen Group Consulting
Whether it’s e-mobility, autonomous driving functions, new mobility services, or the increasing automation of manufacturing processes, the epochal change in the automotive industry impacts almost all its fundamental pillars. We are prepared for this. Our Practice Groups cover all strategic topics and business areas along the entire value chain that matter now.
Our Practice Groups:
- Product Strategy & Development
- Operations Strategy & Corporate Performance
- Sales, Corporate Strategy & Sustainability
- Corporate Functions Strategy
- Business Management
To rethink mobility, holistic approaches are needed that bring together all relevant areas and aspects. This also means aligning our topics, projects, and working methods accordingly. To optimally support and drive the successful transformation of the Volkswagen Group, we have expanded our cross-functional competence through Practice Group-overarching Competence Centres.
Our Competence Centres:
- Competence Centre Battery
- Competence Centre Data, Analytics & AI

Exciting Tasks
As a consultant with us, you are among the thought leaders for new, sustainable mobility. Whether it’s autonomous driving, new battery technologies, or the development of innovative business models: with us, you don’t just look into the future, you actively shape it. We try to consider your project preferences in your career planning. But no matter which topics you want to delve deeper into: with our holistic approach and cross-project exchange, you always keep the big picture in view
-
Independence and Responsibility
With us, you are in direct contact with customers from the very first project. For you, this means close collaboration with the boards and top management of all Volkswagen Group brands worldwide and on-site assignments with clients. Here, your analytical mind and ability to communicate purposefully are especially important. In regular team check-ins, we discuss the status of projects, clarify open questions, and ensure maximum knowledge transfer
-
Flexible Working Hours
At the beginning of each project, team norms are established. All project participants have the opportunity to define their personal working hours. Do you have fixed times for sports, picking up your children, or caring for your parents? Are you an early riser or a night worker? We try to accommodate your individual needs in our project planning. Because even though we enjoy working and sometimes work a lot: life should still happen.
-
Team Spirit
We all have our unique strengths. And we all benefit from the strengths of others. That’s why everyone in our team is equally important, regardless of position or area of responsibility. We value experience just as much as new ideas because we know: we are only truly excellent when we come together. Always on equal footing and always with respect. We manage projects together, support each other, and make each other better. The result: a high level of quality that delights our customers and makes us happy. This strong togetherness sets us apart. And it’s fun – even after work.
