Outperformer - Global Management Development Program - US

What's the role?

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 rotational program like no other, with real responsibility from day one.

Who is Hilti?

Hilti is where innovation is improving productivity, safety and sustainability in the global construction industry, and beyond. Where strong customer relationships are creating solutions that build a better future. Where there is pride and a sense of belonging across our 120 locations, carrying right into our lives and homes. Where people are exploring possibilities, leveraging their potential, owning their personal development and growing lasting careers.

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:

Participate in one of the following tracks:

Commercial Business/Engineering & Finance

• 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 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

Logistics/Operations

• 3 months kickoff and training
• 17 months of diverse experience across national and global logistics and supply chain management (e.g. materials management, distribution, Hilti Center, customer service and leading a team)
• 4 months strategic project

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, you could have 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:

Business management training -individual training at Hilti. A focus on behavioral profiles, personal strengths, leadership styles and communication skills.

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.
