Heraeus Convantics through 2035. From day one, you will engage with

where to grow, where to focus, which new business fields to build, and
how to position the company in a changing market environment. In this

analyzing complex problems & trends to translating findings into
clear, decision-ready recommendations for senior leadership. Selected

partners as needed. Topics will range from new business field
development and footprint decisions to portfolio choices and strategic
M&A evaluations – with a future-back perspective focused on
long-term value creation. Beyond your day-to-day work on strategic
topics, you will help shape how the function operates from the ground
up – defining methodologies and establishing Corporate Development
as a high-impact contributor to the company’s long-term direction.
