Jobbeschreibung

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance / high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have :

• Continuous learning : Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
• A voice that matters : From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
• Global community : With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• World-class benefits : On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.

As part of an international team, you will support our globally active consultants with research and analyses on companies and trends in the paper and packaging industry, as well as other materials industries.

Your tasks will range from short-term information gathering to long-term project support. You will analyze the positioning and competitiveness of our clients, evaluate financial metrics, technology and product strategies, and define market sizes and areas of application. In your work, you will become familiar with a wide variety of industry-specific sources and present your analyses in the form of impactful memos, models, and presentations.

From day one, you will take on responsibility as part of our team and work independently on your own tasks. Our consultants and clients value you as a competent discussion partner. As a member of our global Client Capabilities Network, you will have access to an excellent information infrastructure and experts in all relevant functional and industry-specific areas. You will successfully develop innovative solutions for our clients and contribute to the continuous development of our knowledge infrastructure.

You can expect comprehensive coaching and development opportunities. In addition to mentoring by experienced colleagues, you will regularly participate in high-quality internal training programs.

Required application documents :

Resume (in English), all relevant academic and work certificates (starting with your high school diploma).
