The business is actively expanding its German-speaking Account Management team and is investing in graduates and early-career professionals who have the potential to develop within the organisation.

You'll receive full training and ongoing support, gaining hands-on experience in project delivery, client communication and account management.

As you develop your knowledge and experience, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of projects and progress your career within Project Management and Account Management.

The intention is to develop someone who can build a long-term career with the business, rather than simply fill a short-term graduate position.
