About the Role
This is a six-month internship starting on 1 March within On's Functional Consulting team, which designs, integrates, and powers the core operational and financial backbone across the globe. The intern is embedded within the team and collaborates with functional specialists, solution architects, and engineering leads. The role supports functional requests and system issues in Dynamics 365 F&O and connected financial tools, bridges operational finance/accounting teams and technical systems, and contributes to testing and quality assurance.
Key Responsibilities
- Take end-to-end ownership of assigned operational workflows and sub-projects, driving tasks from onboarding through to measurable business impact over the six-month tenure.
- Partner closely with mentors, cross-functional peers, and regional stakeholders across EMEA to align on shared milestones and execute business priorities.
- Assist with daily team operations, streamline routines, and optimise internal documentation to maintain premium execution standards.
- Present project learnings, campaign outcomes, or analytical findings to team leadership using structured storytelling and clear data insights.
- Partner with Functional Consultants to triage, investigate, and resolve functional requests and system issues in Dynamics 365 F&O and connected financial tools.
- Act as a translator between operational finance/accounting teams and technical systems, helping document requirements, analyse edge cases, and design user-friendly solutions.
- Help test system enhancements, quarterly D365 releases, and custom features before they roll out to business users across global offices.
- Own and deliver a high-impact capstone project, such as an automated workflow, an AI-powered process enhancement, or an analytics dashboard, and showcase it to finance and technology leadership.
Required Experience & Qualifications
- Valid work authorization for Switzerland (or EU/EFTA citizenship).
- Availability for the full six-month program starting 1 March.
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Information Systems, Accounting & Finance, Business Informatics, or a related field blending finance and technology.
- Understanding of foundational accounting principles (general ledger, AP/AR, reconciliations, balance sheet basics) and confidence in the language of finance.
- Highly self-motivated with a proactive, entrepreneurial mindset; comfortable taking initiative, navigating ambiguity, and driving solutions independently across a six-month commitment.
- Exceptionally organised and detail-oriented, with a proven ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and follow through on structured processes.
- Clear verbal and written communication skills in English, with confidence to interact, share updates, and collaborate with diverse stakeholders across levels.
- Strong interpersonal and written communication skills in English, enabling comfortable communication with accountants, software engineers, and business leaders.
- Strong drive to learn, ask constructive questions, and take ownership of tasks from end to end.
- Enjoy investigating why numbers don't tie out or why a system process failed, naturally asking "why?" until reaching the root cause.
- Eagerness to learn how enterprise ERP systems work.
- Enjoy working with structured data and tinkering with new digital tools.
- Not afraid to dive deep into application settings and workflows.
