Your entry opportunities

You can join d-fine in various ways – depending on where you are in your professional life. We continuously offer exciting entry opportunities. Interested? Then see what suits you best.

Get to know us during your studies as part of an internship or working student position and put your previously acquired knowledge into practice. This enables you to gain an early insight into the world of management consultancy, our subject areas and everyday project work at our company.

Internship

During your internship, you will become part of one of our project teams and provide support by working independently on your own work packages and individual tasks. As project assignments are often only finalised at short notice, you will usually find out which project you will be working on during the onboarding days. We will of course try to take your preferences into account. The internships usually take place in Germany at the client’s site, in one of our local offices or in home office. The duration of an internship varies between 8-12 weeks with regular working hours of 40h/week. We require an advanced university degree (Bachelor/Master) in physics, mathematics, computer science or natural sciences, engineering or economics with a quantitative, analytical or technological specialisation and very good academic performance.

Working student position

As a working student, you will support our colleagues in a specific department, in particular with internal tasks and projects. We therefore require an ongoing university degree (enrolment required) in a relevant subject area for the position, ideally at least in the fourth bachelor’s semester. In general, the work will be mostly remote. Occasional stays at our headquarters in Frankfurt or in other offices, especially for onboarding, will take place in consultation with your team. The weekly working time is up to 20 hours/week (up to 40 hours/week possible during the semester holidays).

Starting your career in Consulting & Solutions

You recently graduated or have already gained some work experience? If so, you can select from our innovative working models „Blue“, „Orange / Orange Flex“ and „Yellow“ – to suit your personal needs and your individual life situation. No matter what you choose, in every working model you will work closely with your colleagues in your team.

To expand our Consulting & Solutions teams, we are looking for students/graduates (m/f/d) of physics, mathematics, computer science or natural sciences, engineering and economics with quantitative or technological specializations. You must have a very good academic record, be fluent in German and English and have a high mathematical and/or technological affinity. In addition to strong analytical skills and a results-oriented approach, we attach great importance to social competence.

Joining d-fine is possible throughout the whole year at the beginning of each month. After our intensive onboarding program, which lasts several weeks, you will join a (project) team working for our customers. Our aim is that you feel at home with us and are motivated for the long term. That is why we offer you, in addition to exciting tasks and projects, a collegial team, attractive career and salary model, as well as a wide range of additional benefits, such as our extensive training program as part of the d-fine Academy.

Selection process

FAQs about applying and joining us

No, at the beginning the employee usually starts in the pool of our generalists, whereby the exact assignment to a sub-unit is based on the place of residence. The generalised approach can be retained for the entire career at d-fine. However, it is also possible to switch to a specific subject cluster over time and thus specialise in a particular subject area or sector.

You can apply for a direct entry position at one of our locations abroad via our job portal. Please note that you ideally have a relevant connection to the desired country, e.g. through your studies or professional activity, as well as appropriate language skills.

Yes, if agreed at the start of your employment, we will contribute up to a certain amount towards the costs of relocating to one of our office locations.

We do not offer a special doctoral programme within the d-fine curriculum. However, for candidates who wish to pursue a doctorate after joining us, there may be a re-employment guarantee by arrangement.

Our working models are based on the idea of a long-term career at d-fine. Our working models are therefore designed to adapt to your personal needs and life situation, so that a change can be considered individually and is usually possible at the start of a new financial year.

“Up or out“ does not work for us, as we always try to retain our employees in the long term and create a pleasant and motivating working environment.

Our employees in the „Blue“ and „Yellow“ working models have the option of living wherever they want in Germany and thus retaining their social environment. It is not necessary to live near one of our office locations. Project work usually takes place directly at the customer’s location, in a d-fine office or, especially with „Yellow“, remotely.
