Global Management Development Program

We’re looking for the next generation of high-performing, multi-lingual, post-graduate talents to take our company forward. Hilti Outperformer is a global management development program like no other, with real responsibility from day one.

Hilti Outperformer is a two-year program, where you’ll quickly be involved in a range of international projects, with lots of exposure to senior management. It’s fast paced and challenging, but we’ll closely coach and mentor you. We want your thirst to learn, courage to challenge and desire to improve things, including yourself. The program is split into four main stages of work:

• 12 months as an account manager or field engineer in Sweden.
• 3 months on an operational project at national headquarters in Malmo. It could be logistics, HR, finance, marketing or engineering.
• 6 months on a strategic project at regional headquarters in Manchester, GB.
• 3 months on an international project outside the Northern European region. If you’ve come from a mature market, you’ll work in an emerging market, and vice versa.

What do we offer?
Show us what you can do and, in return, we promise you the experience of a lifetime, the opportunity to work internationally, and a fast-track career in global senior management with an unlimited contract. You’ll also take part in some fascinating courses and events:

• Leadership development program – a comprehensive learning journey with IMD business school in Lausanne, Switzerland, with a qualification from IMD.
• Business management training – individual training at Hilti. A focus on behavioral profiles, personal strengths, leadership styles and communication skills.
• Global summit – 4-5 days at our global headquarters in Liechtenstein. A look at the way global business units function, plus soft skills like situational leadership and international teamwork.
• Social project – 7-8 days ‘building a better future’. A hands-on and hugely impactful community project, like our recent house building for displaced refugees in Bosnia.

• You’ve recently graduated, or you’re preparing to graduate in 2017, with a master’s degree or PhD. Your degree is likely to be in business management or engineering, but we’ll consider subjects like economics, politics or international studies if you can prove you have a mind for our business.
• You’ve spent at least three months, in a professional environment, like an internship, apprenticeship or work experience, or have just started your career and want an opportunity where you can perform well and progress.
• You’re multilingual – at least fluent in English and in Swedish – and you’ve gained international experience during your work or studies abroad.
• You’re mature and assertive, curious and committed. You’re a flexible team player with good communication and social skills. You’re a global thinker, interested in general management topics, keen for intercultural experiences and opportunities working abroad.

As part of your interview process, we’ll take you on a ‘field ride’ to give you a feel for our business and the caliber of our people.

Application deadline: 30th January 2017. We will continuously review incoming applications.
Interviews: February in Arlöv, Malmö
Assessment Centre: 27th – 28th February 2017 - located in Manchester, UK
