What you will learn and develop with us: * You will learn how global corporate goals are translated into measurable KPIs and how the financial performance of a tech company is steered to enable data-driven decisions. * You will actively co-create the financial planning, reporting, and analysis for our business units and evaluate strategic projects such as M&A transactions. * You will work with modern controlling instruments, BI systems, and agile methodologies to further develop Bosch’s financial steering architecture. At the same time, you will be accompanied by a personal executive-level mentor to prepare you specifically for your future role as a leader in the commercial environment at Bosch.

Your eye for the bigger picture: You find it fascinating to understand how a global enterprise operates and are highly motivated to support corporate goals through effective commercial steering. Your understanding of human-centric leadership: You live by the conviction that outstanding results only emerge by empowering people. Utilizing emotional intelligence and empathy, you foster an environment where human potential is unlocked and contributes to the success of the entire team. You think strategically and shape the future: You recognize the big picture, derive a clear vision from it as a leader, and develop the roadmap that takes us there. You have already gathered valuable initial insights into corporate steering, ideally through internships or working student positions. Your continuous development: In our dynamic environment, you leverage your ability to learn quickly every day, continuously developing yourself—a growth mindset that we actively support and nurture. Your language proficiency: You communicate fluently in English (negotiation level) and possess good German language skills (B2 level) to navigate confidently within both our international and local environments.
