You can expect a structured entry into the world of consulting with extensive training opportunities, a strong international network, and the chance to take on responsibility from day one.

• Consulting projects: You support digitalization and transformation projects for clients across industries such as Commercial, Financial Services, and the Public Sector – applying both agile and traditional project management approaches as well as modern digital PPM tools.
• Project management: You contribute to the Project Management Office (PMO) and help ensure transparency on progress, risks, dependencies, and budgets across projects, programs, and portfolios.
• Methods & frameworks: You work with established methodologies such as Scrum, SAFe, PRINCE2, or classic process models, and apply them together with the team.
• Personal development: You gain exposure to complex, large-scale projects across a variety of industries and grow professionally through targeted trainings and internationally recognized certifications.

• You have an interest in project management methodologies (e.g., Scrum, SAFe, PRINCE2, PMI, IPMA) as well as digital PPM tools. Initial certifications are a plus, but not a requirement – we will support you with relevant training as part of our Graduate Program.
