Who We Are

Our strategy? To be anything but typical strategy consultants! Our unconventional nature is embedded deep in our DNA. 60 years ago, BCG shook up the world of strategy consulting. Now, it has grown to become one of the world leaders in the field. How do we manage to stay ahead of the pack? The answer is simple: by reinventing ourselves every day and providing a home with diverse career opportunities to the best talent and most creative minds all over the world. And by giving you the chance to make an impact in business and society. BCG stands for authenticity, exceptional work, and strong integrity. Once you’ve become part of the Group, we’ll help you find your path, unleash your potential, effect change, and advance the world.

#jointhegroup

Our most vital resource is our people. That’s why Human Resources is one of our most vital teams: From recruiting to career development for BCGers, and from training and mobility support to staffing (assigning our consultants to client casework), the Human Resources Team plays a decisive role in making BCG not just a company, but a Group in which each individual can be their best.

What You'll Do

As a Working Student in our Talent Management team for Business Services, you'll play an active role in shaping BCG's most important asset: our people. You'll support our performance management process throughout the entire employee life cycle—from goal setting and performance evaluations to feedback discussions and career progression decisions. In this context, you'll prepare analyses, evaluations, data visualizations, and presentations that help inform people-related decisions and support a fair and effective performance management process.

In addition, you'll support the planning and execution of Career Development meetings, helping to facilitate meaningful career conversations and development opportunities for our employees. This includes coordinating meetings, preparing decision-making materials and stakeholder communications, managing follow-up activities, and maintaining relevant people data in Excel. You'll also create compelling PowerPoint presentations for a variety of stakeholders, contribute to HR projects and process improvements, and help maintain and further develop internal communication platforms. You'll further support the exploration and implementation of AI-enabled solutions and help evaluate new technologies to drive innovation and continuous improvement across HR processes. Through these activities, you'll gain valuable insights into key Talent Management processes and collaborate closely with colleagues across various HR functions.

What You'll Bring

  • You’re enrolled as a full-time student at an institution of higher learning.
  • Ideally, you have some experience in HR or a related field.
  • You are proficient in MS Office (especially in MS Excel and MS PowerPoint).
  • Very good command of German and English completes your profile.

Who You'll Work With

You'll be part of a highly motivated eight-person Talent Management team that combines HR Business Partnering and Career Development. Together, we support employees and leaders on topics ranging from performance and career development to broader people-related initiatives. Our collaboration is characterized by respect, trust, and a strong team spirit. You'll gain valuable insights into a wide range of HR topics and work closely with colleagues across different HR functions. From day one, your manager and teammates will support you throughout your onboarding and day-to-day work.

Working student essentials

What this HR working student role in Munich means for you — the weekly-hours rules, social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
