Head of Strategic Intelligence

As Global Early Talent Program participant within Strategy and M&A, you will get hands-on responsibility from the start. You will rapidly build your skills and experience through a series of exciting, cross-functional, and international assignments. Corporate Strategy and M&A is responsible for ABB’s corporate strategy, strategic planning and portfolio management processes as well as execution of acquisitions and divestments.

You will create a legacy to be proud of as you deepen your leadership competences and soft skills, building a strong network within ABB.

The exceptional people you work with, the challenging projects you tackle and the global scale of our business will give the experience you need to build a world-class career in strategy and M&A.

For this particular position, you will be hired within the Corporate Strategy and M&A function in Zurich, Switzerland, with rotations in the Motion Business Area in Switzerland and abroad.

The program is made up of three assignments over the course of 24 months:

• One or two assignments in business strategy, M&A or related teams back in Zurich with Motion, where you will deepen your knowledge of the company and your function, strengthening your technical and soft skills.
  
  

During the last assignment, participants will meet in Zurich, Switzerland, for a week of training, focused on leadership competencies development. The last rotation will also be the time where the participants start to look for their first permanent position, to be started after the end of the program. All program trainings are meant to build the foundations of your future career evolution.
