Dual Studies BWL - International Management: Your career opportunities

After graduation, for example, you will work as: 

International Brand Manager:in

As an International Brand Manager, you have two fundamental tasks: firstly, branding and secondly, brand communication. The basis for the organisation of all content is a brand and communication strategy, which is usually developed in close cooperation with the management. The instruments and channels for effective marketing deployment (marketing mix) are then defined. Only then can the actual advertising campaigns, often adapted to different target markets, be tackled. This requires a deep understanding of the product world, the target groups and the intercultural differences of target markets. The profession of International Brand Manager is an exciting job in the company's marketing department - at the interface with management, research and development, product management, sales, service and, last but not least, customers.

International Talent Manager

As an International Talent Manager, you will support the HR department in the search for and development of talent and managers within the company. You will plan and organise expat assignments and prepare trainees, employees and managers for foreign assignments and international projects. With a particular focus on intercultural skills, you will design training programmes, succession strategies and job rotation to help train international managers.

Management consultant:in

As a management consultant, you advise other companies. The subject matter of the consulting can be, for example, the general management of the company, internationalisation projects or dealing with a change process. Your basic consulting concept must be individually adapted to the expectations and tasks of your clients, without disregarding the goals of your employer - the consulting company.
