Intern (m / f / d) on Workflow and Knowledge Management at the FMB's Data Service Center

As an integral internal service provider within GIZ, the Data Service Center (DSC) offers comprehensive data services and advice to international cooperation projects. Our services encompass support in data collection, management, and analysis for various purposes, including impact monitoring, project planning, geospatial analysis, and data sharing. By delivering these services, the DSC significantly contributes to GIZ's overarching goal of fostering data-based decision-making solutions and capacities for projects and partner institutions worldwide.

The DSC has recently implemented substantial internal changes to update its workflow and knowledge management structures. A critical aspect of this transformation is defining a role-based concept with specific mandates for areas such as service delivery, procurement, partnerships, and people operations. Complementing this, the team utilizes an agile approach for quarterly resource planning and strategic alignment. To support this change process, the DSC is seeking a motivated working student to assist in implementing structural changes in the DSC’s workflow and knowledge management and to support the newly defined DSC roles in various implementation tasks.

• Support in updating the DSC’s workflow and knowledge management structure, which is mainly implemented within the MS365 environment
• Engage in various communication tasks to enhance the DSC’s visibility within the organization, including updating the internal information page, and creating PowerPoint presentations
• Facilitate meetings both online and on-site, including documentation, updating agendas, and follow-up activities
• Assist in fulfilling overarching tasks of the DSC roles, such as updating resources (e.g., conceptboards, MS Teams documents), managing tasks on MS Planner, designing information materials, and proofreading
• Contribute to the standardization of DSC’s service delivery processes and support in operative tasks such as tendering goods and services
• University-level degree (Bachelor or Master) in Social Sciences, Event Management or a related field of study, or comparable qualifications through relevant work experience
• Strong analytical and organizational skills. Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Basic project management skills, especially in an agile and international work environment, are an advantage
• Experience in using MS365 tools (e.g. MS Teams, Planner, Sharepoint)
• Very good communication skills in German and English; proficiency in French is an asset
