Career opportunities without management responsibility: Expert Career at the BMW Group

Munich. The BMW Group’s Expert Career offers
highly-qualified employees an attractive development alternative
without management responsibility. The international rollout will
begin in early November in 40 countries. In parallel with the classic
management track, employees following the Expert Career will focus on
technical, project or corporate topics without disciplinary responsibility.

 

“The Expert Career offers a career path that is equal to the classic
management track, with attractive development opportunities for our
employees,” explains Ilka Horstmeier, member of the Board of
Management of BMW AG, responsible for Human Resources. “In this way,
we are securing our strong position as an attractive employer.”

 

Young talents in future areas of activity, such as automated driving
and connectivity, in particular, are less interested these days in the
classic management track. At the same time, future technologies
require a high level of expertise and new forms of collaboration. The
Expert Career has been tailored to these requirements. This broader
approach to career development will make it easier for the company to
recruit and develop talented technical, project and corporate experts,
and expand their key future competences for the BMW Group on a
selective basis.

 

The Expert Career will be offered across all areas of the company and
is not restricted to certain divisions or qualifications. With two
career paths, employees can be optimally deployed according to their
strengths. Suitable employees can switch between the classic
management track and the Expert Career at any time; both development
paths are equal and open to one another. This enables targeted,
flexible employee development, in accordance with the employee’s own
development goals and the company’s requirements.
