Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in project portfolio management focus on optimising project portfolios to drive strategic business outcomes. These individuals oversee project selection, prioritisation, and resource allocation to facilitate successful project delivery.

In project management at PwC, you will oversee and coordinate various projects to facilitate successful delivery within budget and timeline. You will leverage strong organisational and communication skills to effectively manage teams and stakeholders.

About Us

For our Consulting business unit, we are looking for motivated university graduates from ETIC to join our German team on exciting consulting projects in the area of Portfolio, Program and Project Management (PPM). As part of our Graduate Program, you can expect a structured entry into the world of consulting with extensive training opportunities, a strong international network, and the chance to take on responsibility from day one.

Your Responsibilities – What to Expect

• Consulting projects: You support digitalization and transformation projects for clients across industries such as Commercial, Financial Services, and the Public Sector – applying both agile and traditional project management approaches as well as modern digital PPM tools.
• Project management: You contribute to the Project Management Office (PMO) and help ensure transparency on progress, risks, dependencies, and budgets across projects, programs, and portfolios.
• Methods & frameworks: You work with established methodologies such as Scrum, SAFe, PRINCE2, or classic process models, and apply them together with the team.
• Personal development: You gain exposure to complex, large-scale projects across a variety of industries and grow professionally through targeted trainings and internationally recognized certifications.
• Team & business development: You become part of an international team, actively contributing to the growth of our PPM services and expanding your professional network within PwC.

Your Profile – What You Bring

• You have successfully completed (or are about to complete) your studies in Business Administration/Economics, (Business) Information Technology, (Industrial) Engineering, or a comparable field of study.
• Ideally, you have already gained some practical experience through internships, working student positions, or thesis work in the areas of project management, PMO, or consulting.
• You have an interest in project management methodologies (e.g., Scrum, SAFe, PRINCE2, PMI, IPMA) as well as digital PPM tools. Initial certifications are a plus, but not a requirement – we will support you with relevant training as part of our Graduate Program.
• You are analytically and conceptually strong, work in a structured manner, and enjoy collaborating within a team.
• Your strong communication skills and confident demeanor help you engage with colleagues and clients on equal footing.
• Very good German and English skills, both written and spoken, round off your profile. (German at least C1 – this is a mandatory requirement for this role.)

What We Offer

• Structured career entry through our Graduate Program with clear development perspectives
• Mentoring from experienced colleagues in our German PPM team
• Extensive trainings and certifications (e.g. PRINCE2, Scrum, SAFe)
