Johannesburg Roundtable
In South Africa - Johannesburg
Experience what sets Simon-Kucher apart:
We invite bright and inspiring students to take the next step in their career journey. Join us for our Johannesburg Roundtable event in Sandton, hosted in collaboration with the UPCS and WCC.
Our sole focus is on unlocking better growth for our clients, increasing their long-term sales, value, and profit. We achieve this by optimising every lever of their commercial strategy – product, price, innovation, marketing, and sales.
Our Johannesburg Roundtable is designed to give selected final-year/honours, Master’s and PhD students a closer look at who Simon-Kucher is - being recognised by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Management Consulting Firms in 2026. During the afternoon, candidates will hear directly from our team about the work we do, the types of projects we support, and the skills and experiences that shape a successful consulting career.
The event will be highly interactive, combining a moderated talent discussion, a practical case challenge, and purposeful networking with Simon-Kucher colleagues. It is an opportunity to experience how we approach real business problems, share your perspective, connect with our people and gain a first-hand sense of our culture and what it is like to work at Simon-Kucher.

- Enrolled in an undergraduate or post-graduate degree in business, economics, engineering, finance, science, statistics, or a related field
