How to apply

Apply through LinkedIn with your CV and a motivation letter, and answer the screening questions. We want the letter in your own words. Use AI to polish it if you like, but not to write it: we read it to hear you, not a model. Tell us why this role, why now, and about one piece of HR work you are proud of. We review applications on a rolling basis. Interviews take place in late November and early December, partly in German and French, followed by a short case exercise. We aim to make a final offer in December 2026, in line with the start of client engagements. With your written agreement, we may present your profile to clients during this period.
