Purpose of the role:
At Körber, automation is a key driver of efficiency, innovation, and business success. While many of our core business processes run on enterprise platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud, SuccessFactors, and ServiceNow, there are still significant opportunities to further automate, optimize, and digitalize processes across the organization.
To unlock this potential, we are establishing a new Automation Competence Center and are looking for a motivated Working Student – Automation & Power Platform to join us on this journey.

The role follows a hybrid working model, with attendance at our Porto office 1-2 days per week. Therefore, we are primarily looking for students based in or near Porto, Braga, or Aveiro, who can comfortably commute to the office when required.
This position is ideal for students who are passionate about technology, process improvement, and innovation, and who are looking to build valuable practical experience while completing their studies. For high-performing candidates, the role may also offer the opportunity to transition into a full-time position after graduation.
