Team Manager Category Management at TeamViewer SE
Disciplinary leadership, team of five
(Senior Procurement Manager from Nov 2023, title adjusted to reflect the role in Jun 2025)
There was no procurement function, and no one owned the spend. Built it from scratch with my Director; we both started on the same day. 150 Mio. EUR total spend across five categories: IT, Marketing, Corporate Services, Travel, Real Estate.
- Analyzed and grouped all spend, then focused on the largest items first, especially cloud (Google alone was around 50 Mio. USD): around 10 Mio. EUR in savings in the first year and up to 7 % better terms in multi-year contracts.
- Built the supplier model that did not exist: quarterly reviews with KPIs and defined escalation for the largest suppliers.
- Evaluated procurement suites (Omnea, Opstream, Mercanis, HiveBuy) and made spend transparent in SpendHQ with dashboards across all categories.
- Negotiated using leverage, not discounts: Atlassian reduced from 805 to 630 Tsd. USD through a tender among resellers with a line-by-line offer comparison (2024) · ADP credit of 18.450 EUR following an invoice review across six countries (2025).
- Set up Microsoft Premier Support through Bechtle as a service framework: 24/7 contact, escalation, monthly report.
- Integrated the 1E acquisition: every acquired contract was consolidated, renegotiated, or terminated.
- Built the team from scratch to five, with career paths for each category and a performance system. Embedded procurement targets in company KPIs.

About the role
Navigating complex digital transformation
An experienced IT consultant bridges the gap between business objectives and technological execution. They analyze existing systems, identify bottlenecks, and design scalable architectures that align with corporate strategy. By providing an objective external perspective, these professionals help organizations avoid costly procurement mistakes, optimize software development lifecycles, and steer technical implementations toward measurable success.
Strategic guidance for Berlin companies
The Berlin business landscape demands a unique blend of agility and regulatory compliance. From fast-scaling fintech startups in Kreuzberg to established manufacturing enterprises, local organizations require advisors who understand both international tech trends and German data protection standards. Freelance IT advisors in the capital help businesses migrate legacy systems to secure cloud environments, integrate modern APIs, and prepare for strict IT audits without disrupting daily operations.
Core areas of consulting expertise
- IT infrastructure audits and modernization strategies
- Cloud migration planning for AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
- Enterprise resource planning setup, including SAP S/4HANA transitions
- Cybersecurity risk assessments and ISO 27001 readiness
- Software architecture design and agile development oversight
- Vendor evaluation and technology procurement support
When to hire freelance IT advisors
Companies typically onboard external IT consultants during critical transitional phases when internal teams lack specialized knowledge or capacity. This includes launching new digital products, migrating physical servers to the cloud, merging disparate IT systems after an acquisition, or resolving systemic performance issues. Bringing in an independent expert ensures that projects remain on track, budget overruns are minimized, and internal staff can focus on their core day-to-day operations without being overwhelmed by temporary project demands.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about IT Consultants.
An IT consultant focuses on strategy, architecture, and alignment with business goals, whereas a developer primarily writes and maintains code. While some consultants do write code, their main value lies in analyzing requirements, choosing technologies, and planning the implementation path. They act as strategic advisors rather than execution-focused builders.
Hiring a freelance IT consultant gives you immediate access to highly specialized knowledge for a specific, time-limited project without long-term overhead. Independent advisors have often seen dozens of different IT environments, enabling them to solve problems faster than internal teams. This flexibility allows your business to scale technical expertise up or down as project demands change.
Most IT consultants in Berlin work in a hybrid setup, combining remote strategic planning with targeted on-site workshops. While system discovery and stakeholder alignment benefit greatly from face-to-face meetings in the Berlin office, the actual architectural design and documentation can be done efficiently from a home office.
A top-tier IT advisor is evaluated by their past project outcomes, technical certifications, and communication skills. Look for a proven track record of handling similar technical challenges, such as cloud migrations or ERP rollouts. A good consultant must also be able to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders clearly.
Virtually every sector in the region profits, but tech consultants are especially critical for Berlin's booming e-commerce, fintech, and digital health sectors. Traditional companies undergoing digital transformation also rely on external expertise to modernize their legacy infrastructure. These consultants help local businesses scale rapidly while maintaining high standards of data security.
It depends on your company culture and the scope of the project, but many independent IT consultants in Berlin work entirely in English. If the project involves coordination with local authorities or traditional medium-sized enterprises in Germany, native or professional German language skills are highly beneficial. For international startups, English is usually the standard.
Yes, an experienced security consultant can audit your current infrastructure and guide you through compliance processes like ISO 27001 or GDPR. They identify vulnerabilities in your data workflows, draft security policies, and implement best practices to protect your intellectual property. This preparation ensures your company passes official external audits smoothly.
Most contract IT specialists bill on a daily or hourly basis, depending on the complexity and duration of the project. For clearly defined phases, such as an initial system assessment, some might agree on a fixed-price milestone. It is best to agree on deliverables and reporting intervals before the collaboration starts to ensure full transparency.
The average hourly rate for IT Consultants in Berlin is 109 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 875 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers working as IT Consultants in Berlin, 86% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 58% hold at least a Master's degree, and 11% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers working as IT Consultants in Berlin have 21 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3.1 years.
The most common languages among freelancers working as IT Consultants in Berlin are German (100%), English (95%), and French (16%).
The most common industries among freelancers working as IT Consultants in Berlin are Information Technology (93%), Professional Services (52%), and Automotive (41%).
