Outperformer- Hilti Global Management 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.

**Who is Hilti?**:
If you’re new to the industry, you might not have heard of us. We provide leading-edge tools, technologies, software and services for the global construction sector. We have a proud heritage, built over 75 years, and a worldwide reputation for pioneering products and exceptional service.

With 30,000 people in more than 120 countries, which we’re looking to expand, we’re a great place for you to show us your worth, step up to new challenges and grow your career.

**What does the role involve?**:
Hilti Outperformer is a global management development program like no other. Over a two-year period we’ll prepare you for a global leadership career by putting you at the center of our customer-focused business model. It’s fast paced and challenging, but we’ll coach and mentor you while broadening you experience through a range of international tasks and an impactful social project. The program is split into four main stages of work:
12 months as an account manager in the country where you apply. You’ll get hands-on experience and a deep insight into the core of our business - our customers, products, services and software.
3 months on an operational project in national headquarters. You’ll work as part of a project team in a non-sales role. It could be logistics, HR, finance, marketing or engineering.
6 months on a strategic project in regional headquarters. Again, it might be logistics, HR, finance, marketing or engineering, but at a strategic level.
3 months on strategic project outside the region. This will give you an international perspective, with its different working cultures and market challenges. If you’ve come from a mature market, you’ll work in an emerging market, and vice versa.

**Our global trainees have a lot of fun. Whether it’s building houses on our social project or skiing at weekends, they form a deep bond, like a big international family.**

**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.

**Why should you apply?**:
Ours is a high-performing culture for very driven people. If you’ve never worked in sales or construction, that’s not a problem. Success at Hilti is down to teamwork and ability, no matter what your background is.

**What you need is**:

- We’d love to hear from you if:

- You hold a master’s degree (economics, business administration, international management, engineering or finance)
- You are a multilingual talent, fluent in English, in Italian and at least one other language.
- You have gained international experience through your work or studies and have spent between 2 month and 2 years in a professional environment
- You enjoy learning and are mature, assertive, curious and dedicated
- You are flexible team player, with good communication and social skills, and you can inspire others.
- You are internationally mobile. A global thinker who is keen for diverse cultural experiences and the opportunity to work abroad

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

“I don’t have a sales background and, when I went to my careers fair, most companies only wanted to speak to you if you had the right experience. Hilti were completely open-minded. They were more interested in me than in which degree I was doing.”
- Andreas, Project Manager, Global Logistics
