About the role

Manage diverse project teams to drive performance improvements across Heraeus' operating companies. Engage in consulting on commercial topics while leveraging expertise and promoting personal development.

Responsibilities

We work in teams with a flat hierarchy — as part of our project teams you will advise leaders of Heraeus' operating companies to drive performance improvements on strategic commercial topics such as marketing, sales, pricing, new business models, sustainability, and growth initiatives.
In national and international projects you will conduct interviews, analyze data, develop improvement initiatives and new concepts, and support implementation activities.
Every project is unique: our operating companies are diverse and operate in dynamic markets, ranging from established market leaders to innovative start-ups.
This means you will constantly face new challenges and have many opportunities to learn and grow.
You are responsible for delivering impact and long-term value — you determine how to achieve this.
Our projects are grounded in an established Commercial Excellence Toolbox, which is continuously expanded with new approaches and best practices.
State-of-the-art technology and training: you will work in a modern office environment and can take advantage of various training opportunities to support your professional and personal development. Over approximately three years we support your development toward your next (leadership) role within Heraeus, aligned with your interests and expertise.
