Project Portfolio Management Intern

At Terumo, we advance lifesaving medical technologies to benefit society. Are you eager to make a difference with us? Here, you’ll grow your expertise while staying true to your personal aspirations.

Guided by our Japanese heritage, we act with respect, take ownership, and pursue continuous improvement. If you see yourself in our values, keep reading; this might be the opportunity you're looking for.

The Strategy Planning team reports to the CFO organisation, alongside Finance, IT and Strategic Risk. The team supports Terumo Europe in translating strategy into clear goals and priorities, monitoring the strategic roadmap, and strengthening project and portfolio management across the organisation.

The team maintains an overview of projects and strategic initiatives across Terumo EMEA, covering our five business units and different enabling functions. In short, Strategy Planning helps the organisation understand where it wants to go, which initiatives will help us get there, and how these initiatives contribute to our strategic direction.

Today, our project portfolio is supported by an internally developed solution using Microsoft 365 Power Apps, while Click Up is already used for selected activities. During this internship, you will explore whether Click Up could also support parts of our wider project portfolio management process by building and testing a small-scale pilot, gathering user feedback, and identifying practical opportunities for improvement.

With guidance from your coach, you’ll turn a real business challenge into tangible insights that can help shape our future way of working.

Please note that this internship takes place in Leuven, Belgium, in a hybrid setup. To be eligible, you must be based in Belgium and affiliated with an educational institution for the full duration of the internship. Your educational institution must also be able to provide an internship agreement covering the entire internship period.
