You are either a recent graduate at the top of your class or have 1-3 years of work experience, preferably from a top-tier management consulting firm or a similar role in the industry. Experience from a large FMCG company is considered an advantage. We expect that you possess:

  • Strong problem-solving & analytical skills: Ability to break down complex problems, analyze quantitative and qualitative data, and develop actionable insights to support strategic decision-making
  • Excellent communication & presentation skills: Ability to effectively communicate complex ideas in a clear and concise manner, both verbally, and in writing, including crafting high-quality presentations for senior executive and stakeholders
  • Structured & critical thinking: Demonstrated ability to approach challenges with logical, structured thinking and offer innovative solutions that address both immediate and long-term business needs
  • Collaborative and results-oriented mindset: Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams, manage multiple stakeholders, and deliver results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

Moreover, you should be an open-minded change agent, capable of working across diverse markets and organizational areas. You are a true team player and actively contribute to making Group Strategy and the broader Strategy & Business Development team a great place to work and grow, and open to the possibility of international assignments as part of your career development. In addition, mastery of PowerPoint, Excel and English is essential.
