What's the role?
In Corporate Development, you will lead a workstream of one of Hilti’s key strategic projects. In this role, you will be working alongside a former strategy consulting project manager (ex-MBB). As such, you will also have substantial visibility to Hilti’s senior management team including executive board members and the opportunity to position yourself for a full-time career at Hilti.

You will be a full member of a small high-profile team that drives the company strategy and strategic engagements. You will receive day to day direction from a Corporate Development Manager and work closely with our experts to drive a workstream of one or more of our strategic projects. Thus, you will work in a strategy consulting mindset, atmosphere, and with people who have done strategy consulting successfully, but in a corporate setting. In this role, you will also have significant exposure to the Senior Vice President who leads the area.
Your key responsibilities will be to:
- Interview experts and stakeholders to identify issues and form hypotheses on solutions
- Conduct analyses to test the hypotheses based on research and data collection
- Evaluate strategic options and recommend the way forward

Here is what our intern Krishank says about his role:
“Starting an internship at Hilti’s Corporate Development was a great decision: Working on projects that shape Hilti's future means you get to make a meaningful impact even in a short period of time. The highlight for me, though, was the rapid learning curve from working in a diverse team of former strategy consultants in a collaborative & supportive environment, which exemplifies Hilti's people culture.”
