Location: Bavaria
Seeking an Advisory Board (no golf courses, no endless PowerPoint presentations, no “we need to get to know each other first”)
Companies of all sizes successfully rely on HICO's management and IT consulting to efficiently, modernly, and reliably solve relevant BI, planning, and digitalization challenges with us. The HICO Group combines the strategic vision and commitment of a founder-led company with the dynamism of a technology startup.
Do you recognize yourself in this brief profile?
- We are looking for experienced executives with a passion for technology—across all industries—to serve on our Advisory Board.
- We especially encourage individuals with strong ties to the Bavaria region to apply.
… then you are the right person for us.
What do you bring to the table?
- We aren’t looking for more “consultants” who will politely confirm what we already know. We’re looking for leaders who don’t just manage technology, but truly understand and enjoy it—and who have already worked in positions of responsibility, led teams, and, ideally, have seen things go wrong at least once
We especially welcome individuals with:
- Solid operational and strategic experience (preferably at the C-level or equivalent)
- A genuine passion for technology and an interest in AI, BI, and data management
- A network that you not only have but can also leverage strategically
- A desire to provide concrete support for our go-to-market efforts and the further development of our growth strategy
- The ability to clearly and directly state what you see—even when it’s uncomfortable
- Very good German and English skills (at least C1 level)
We’re not particularly concerned about the industry. Whether it’s software, IT services, automotive, manufacturing, finance, or related fields—the main thing is that you have leadership experience and a genuine passion for technology.
What can you expect from us?
- We are a growth-oriented company in the fields of AI, business intelligence, and data management
- We build real products and solutions—not PowerPoint castles
- We consistently invest our money in technology and growth.
- That’s why we have neither a lavish board budget nor a company-owned golf course. (At least one of us can hit the ball off the tee. That’ll have to do for now.)
What benefits do we offer you?
- Genuine involvement rather than mere representation
- A young, down-to-earth, and driven team that wants results
- Topics that are current and relevant
- A direct approach without any drama
- The opportunity to apply your experience and network where it actually makes a difference
We’re deliberately not thinking in terms of a traditional board ritual. No endless strategy workshops where everyone just nods in agreement at the end and nothing actually happens. We want open dialogue among equals, clear assessments, and support where it counts: market access, positioning, and growth.
Overview
We aim for a streamlined and effective collaboration. We’ll discuss the frequency, focus areas, and potential compensation on a case-by-case basis and in a transparent manner. We don’t promise large expense reimbursements—but we do promise relevance and a team that takes your support seriously.
Interested?
If you'd like to bring your experience, your network, and your passion for technology to an environment that values substance over status—and if the combination of an ambitious team, relevant topics, and a touch of self-deprecating humor appeals to you—then we’d love to get to know you better. Please send us your complete application, including your salary expectations and earliest possible start date via the application form on our website. For any questions, our HR team is happy to assist.
We look forward to chatting with you. And if you're really good at golf: We'll take note of that, but we don't expect tournament-course quality.
Even if you don’t meet all the requirements but can check 70-80% of them and are eager to learn more, we will achieve the next set of skills together. We are a diverse, multicultural, and family-oriented team.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR APPLICATION!
