About this role
Hunter Douglas is recruiting MBA graduates for an accelerated entry program launching in August 2027, based in Rotterdam with full-time, in-office work. The role is structured around immediate impact: you'll begin with a four-month strategic project sponsored by the executive leadership team, tackling a critical business priority while gaining visibility across the organization. Past projects have ranged from retail partnership innovation and e-commerce optimization to go-to-market strategy and digital platform development. After completing this initial assignment, you'll transition into a longer-term position aligned with your strengths and career interests.
The program combines structured onboarding—including time at headquarters in New York—with real responsibility from day one. You'll work alongside senior leaders and fellow MBA hires, building a network while delivering measurable business outcomes. This is designed for someone with at least four years of pre-MBA professional experience who is ambitious, self-motivated, and comfortable taking ownership in a fast-paced environment. Dutch language proficiency is advantageous but not required.
Hunter Douglas offers competitive compensation with performance bonus, generous benefits including paid time off, and a culture focused on internal development and long-term career growth. The role suits someone seeking to launch a leadership trajectory within a global, established organization rather than a typical graduate rotation.
