Last position:
Freelance Consultant – Process Automation & Digital Product at läuft von allein
I help companies and digital teams regain time in their day-to-day work – by automating recurring processes and making targeted improvements to digital products. Depending on their needs, either with implementation or at management level (interim).
Typical results:
- Manual routine processes run automatically – inquiries, data maintenance, follow-ups
- Faster response times and fewer things left undone in day-to-day operations
- Clear priorities in product and digitalisation projects, pragmatic rather than over-engineered
How: modern No/Low-Code automation (including n8n, Make.com), combined with experience as a Managing Director and Digital Product Manager. The tool is never the starting point – the question is always where a solution creates real value.

About the role
Process focus
Process consultants help companies make work clearer, faster, and easier to control. They look at how tasks flow across teams, systems, and handovers, then turn that into a practical design for change. Typical work includes process mapping, gap analysis, workshop facilitation, and defining the target process before implementation.
Typical deliverables
- Current-state and target-state process maps
- BPMN diagrams and process documentation
- Workshop notes, decision logs, and action plans
- Improvement roadmaps and prioritised recommendations
- KPI logic for process control and governance
- Support for rollout, training, and adoption
Where they add value
Companies bring in a freelance process consultant when operations are messy, a transformation is moving too slowly, or a new system needs clean processes before go-live. In Germany, this often comes up in manufacturing, logistics, shared services, finance, and industrial SMEs that need structured change without building a permanent process office first. The work can be remote, on-site, or mixed, depending on the need for interviews, shop-floor observation, or stakeholder workshops.
Skills and tools
A strong process consultant understands how business work really happens, not just how it is written down. They should be comfortable with:
- BPMN, SIPOC, value stream mapping, and root-cause analysis
- Lean, Kaizen, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methods
- ERP and workflow systems such as SAP, ServiceNow, or Microsoft Dynamics
- Stakeholder interviews, facilitation, and change communication
- Documentation that is precise enough for operations and IT
What good looks like
The best process consultants are structured, calm, and practical. They ask sharp questions, separate symptoms from causes, and keep the work tied to measurable business outcomes. They can work with operations leaders, IT, controlling, and frontline teams without losing the thread. They also know when a process should be simplified, standardized, automated, or left as is.
When to hire
Hire a process consultant when you need a neutral view of how work should run, not just how it has always run. They are useful for process harmonisation after growth, mergers, system changes, audit findings, service bottlenecks, and transition projects. If you need a clear process owner, a workshop lead, or an interim improvement expert, a freelancer is often the most flexible option.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Process Consultants.
A process consultant studies how work flows across teams, systems, and handovers, then turns that into a clearer way of working. The role usually includes interviews, workshops, process mapping, and recommendations for improvement. On many projects, the consultant also supports rollout so the new process is actually used.
Look for strong analysis, clean documentation, and the ability to lead workshops without losing structure. A good process consultant knows methods such as BPMN, Lean, and root-cause analysis, but also knows how to talk to operations and IT teams. For digital projects, experience with ERP or workflow systems is often important too.
The overlap is real, but the focus differs. A process consultant is centered on how work moves end to end and how to improve that flow across functions. A business analyst may focus more on requirements and solutions, while an operations consultant may lean more toward performance, capacity, or operating model topics.
A freelance process consultant is often the better choice when the need is project-based, urgent, or tied to a change initiative. That includes process redesign, system rollout preparation, post-merger harmonisation, or a short improvement push. If you need specialist input without building a long-term internal role, freelance is usually the simpler option.
Both models work, but the best setup depends on the process. Remote collaboration is fine for workshops, documentation, and analysis, while on-site work helps when the consultant must observe real operations, shop-floor activity, or service handovers. In Germany, many clients choose a mixed setup so the consultant can meet key stakeholders in person and still move fast.
Common deliverables include current-state and target-state process maps, BPMN models, workshop outputs, and an implementation roadmap. Depending on the project, the consultant may also provide KPI definitions, governance rules, training material, or a backlog of improvement actions. The exact output should always match the change you want to make.
Judge the consultant by clarity, structure, and relevance, not by generic promises. A strong process consultant can explain the problem, the method, and the expected result in plain language. Ask for examples of similar process redesign work, the tools they use, and how they handle stakeholder resistance.
Not always. A process consultant usually focuses on analysing, redesigning, and improving business processes, often with stakeholder alignment and change support. A process engineer may be more technical and work closer to plant operations, production methods, or industrial process design. Some professionals do both, so the scope of the project should define the title.
The average hourly rate for Process Consultants in Germany is 116 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 927 € based on an 8-hour working day.
