Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of.

As a Project Management Office (PMO) intern on our SAP S/4HANA implementation, you’ll take ownership of the coordination and admin tasks that keep the program run efficiently: handling documentation, tracking milestones, maintaining risk logs, coordinating meetings, and supporting communication across teams. It’s a hands-on role that offers real insight into large-scale SAP projects, and will be a valuable learning opportunity, as you contribute directly to the program success.

• Support test management with progress monitoring and documentation.
• Ensure compliance with project governance standards and documentation protocols.
• Maintain consistency in the use of project templates, tools, and methodologies.
• Provide general coordination and support as directed by the PMO Lead.

Key requirements:

• Recently completed or in final stages of a university degree in Business, IT, Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Proactive, dependable, and able to work independently in a structured environment.
• Ability to handle multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and follow through reliably.
