Students and graduates

Santiago internships
Do you want to gain insight into the way a top management consultancy works? Do you want to experience how we contribute to shaping the future of chemical, life science and high-tech industries? 

An internship at Santiago gives you the opportunity to get to know our everyday work and contribute directly to the success of our clients in one of our projects.
We are offering internships for master students with excellent marks, irrespective of their academic background (e.g. engineering, chemistry, physics, business, law, …). This way you can discover if a career at Santiago is a good fit for you.

Santiago entry opportunities for university graduates
Our employees are the key to our success. Therefore we are constantly looking for exceptional talents to accompany us on our growth path. 

You already graduated with a Bachelor's or Master's degree? 
Join our ambitious team at Santiago now! 

We offer different entry-level career opportunities for university graduates with above-average grades. With a Bachelor degree, you enter Santiago as Analyst, with a Master degree you start as Associate Consultant. In both cases, you will make an impact from your first day at Santiago.
Our onboarding program gives you an initial overview of our working methods and tools and enables you to work in an established team right from the start. Every team is accompanied by a Santiago Partner or Managing Director, so you learn from experienced professionals in your day-to-day work. 
In order to perform and deliver the highest quality every day, we firmly believe that a corporate culture of openness, flexibility and mutual respect is of crucial importance. In our strong teams, good ideas come first, no matter from whom they are. Our experienced professionals will actively support you to find the right path for you and successfully launch your career.

A double qualification, such as a second degree, an MBA or doctorate is an advantage, but not a requirement.

Young professionals

If you have a few years of professional and/or consulting experience behind you and are looking for new opportunities to accelerate your career, deepen your industry experience or explore new fields, Santiago will enable you to grow beyond your limits.

As our company grows, so do your opportunities. We are tackling complex tasks and always seek novel and tailor-made approaches. As a young professional, you can add value to our team from day one and accelerate your career in a fast-paced, agile and entrepreneurial environment. This allows you to immerse yourself into new challenges, broadening your knowledge and deepening your expertise.

You are supported, challenged and inspired in your own growth path by your teammates and your personal Santiago coach. Your entry level will be defined individually based on your previous experiences.

Who we are looking for

Santiago projects are top management projects in Dax-30 corporations or in large SMEs. We are valued by our customers for our individuality, creativity, experience and quality.

We are looking for colleagues who bring these qualities with them, are able to leave established methods behind and are willing to set off into new territory – in short: people who want to make an impact and have the ability to carry others with them along this path.

What is important for us are your personality, your qualification and your entrepreneurial mindset. We are looking for colleagues who can convince people via integrity, empathy and communication skills as well as analytical and structuring expertise. If you also completed your university career with excellent marks and are someone who thinks analytically and acts entrepreneurially, you should join our team.

What you can expect from us

Attractive package
In addition to an above average compensation package including company car or mobility grant, we offer you a wide range of benefits. These include individual mobility schemes and health programs that differentiate us from the rest of our industry.
Furthermore, we have modern working time models that give you plenty of flexibility in how you structure your working time – from sabbaticals lasting several months to regular reductions in your annual working hours.
We also support any academic further development, such as MBAs, doctorates etc., through individual solutions.

Tailormade trainings & coaching
In addition to on-the-job experiences in each of your projects, we support your development with an individual learning and development program tailored to your specific training needs.
Our extensive Academy Program of training courses and seminars will enable you to develop problem solving, analytical and communication as well as professional skills around trend topics (e.g. agile project management). Furthermore, the regular exchange with your senior coach (on Partner level) will help you to learn more and continuously expand your potential.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We are not only committed in our daily work with our clients, but we also feel responsible towards the further development of society.
For this reason, we support social initiatives either financially or through projects that we carry out pro bono.
For example, every year Santiago employees internally present social projects they are personally engaged in. They raise funds for these initiatives from their Santiago colleagues and Santiago as a company doubles the raised donations.
Since starting this initiative we have already donated more than 150,000€ to social initiatives, and through our personal engagement we achieved a high transparency regarding the use of these funds and know that we have made a significant impact.

Furthermore, we strive for sustainability and aim to achieve CO2 neutrality for Santiago by 2028. We will reach this goal by reducing CO2 emissions and investing in CO2 compensation programs. For example, we choose the mobility alternatives that contribute least to climate change by avoiding to fly where possible, traveling more by train, taking advantage of local public transport and increasing the share of our vehicles that use CO2-saving technologies such as gas, hydrogen and electricity. We will also step by step compensate for the CO2 consumption that we cannot reduce via annual investments in appropriate projects (solar, wind, forestry or biomass).

Life beyond consulting

At Santiago we know that our employees have different needs regarding the compatibility of career and private life. Some of us start families, others pursue personal passions or want to experience different cultures and countries, while we all do the work we love.

We offer you modern working time models that give you plenty of flexibility how you structure your working time - from sabbaticals lasting several months to regular reductions in your annual working hours. We also support any academic further development, such as MBAs, doctorates etc., through individual solutions.

We have been experts in remote working since many years, even before the Corona era: If we are not at our customers’ sites, we mostly work from home. This way we avoid unnecessary travel and enhance our flexibility in balancing personal and professional life. However, we also regularly come together in our Willich office and other regional hubs.

Last but not least we like to have fun and meet at numerous events around the year. We have regular team events to exchange ideas outside the office, meet half-yearly for several days for our “Advisors’ Days” and regularly at other events such as the Munich Oktoberfest or sports events. Get-togethers like these allow us to get to know each other better and create invaluable bonds that we build upon during projects. They are one of the reasons for our outstanding team spirit and collaborative culture at Santiago.

Application process and contact

If you are interested in a career at Santiago, please send us a brief profile of yourself (cover letter, CV and copies of your most important certificates). After having reviewed your documentation, we will respond quickly to your application and in the first step invite you to a first interview. If that is successful it will be followed by a round of interviews with several managers. We look forward to your application!
