- *Key Requirements
To be successful in this role, you bring strong motivation, analytical rigor, and a genuine desire to make an impact. You have two to four years of experience in strategy consulting, analytics, or a similarly fast-paced, high-performance environment, where working quickly without losing attention to detail is second nature to you. Ideally, you come from a leading consulting firm such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) or Bain & Company where you have developed a structured approach to problem‑solving and stakeholder management. You are confident in analyzing complex data and drawing clear, well-reasoned conclusions, and you communicate those insights effectively to a wide range of stakeholders. You are comfortable operating in dynamic environments, remain flexible when priorities shift, and are willing to step up and take ownership when urgent topics arise. You bring an international mindset or experience working across cultures, which helps you collaborate effectively in a global organization. While prior exposure to sustainability topics is an advantage, your curiosity, motivation, and willingness to learn are what truly set you apart. You hold a master’s degree and are ambitious about growing within a strategic function. You enjoy working collaboratively, are comfortable with ambiguity, and act in line with ABB’s values while contributing positively to the team. Building a cleaner, smarter future takes all kinds of minds: the curious, the courageous, and the creative. That's why we welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences. Ready to make an impact?
