Amanda’s First Months at PIR
– Interview With a Current Bloom Participant
What is your role?
I took on the position as an Analyst at PIR in late August 2023. In this role I am contributing to various client and internal projects, and concurrently, I actively participate in the Bloom program—a graduate initiative shared with other companies in Newground Alliance. At the moment I am working on my first client project, which is a transformation project where we are optimizing a procurement organization. This hands-on experience has already led to significant personal and professional growth.
How does an ordinary week look?
My typical week is far from ordinary, and that’s what excites me so much about working at PIR. So far, I have spent three to four days a week at our client’s office here in Stockholm, working collaboratively with the client. The remaining days I am at our home office at Norrmalmstorg. Every day has brought new tasks and relations to explore and therefore I do not think that the ordinary week exists, and it probably won’t for a while. However, a few things have set the tone for my first weeks: social events both with colleagues at PIR and with Bloom, and training in consultant skills such as leadership and digital tools.
Why start your career at PIR?
I chose PIR for two compelling reasons that resonate with my aspirations, the culture and the procurement niche. PIR’s culture is not only fun and welcoming but also inclusive and supportive. After the first week it felt not only like I had a bunch of amazing colleagues but also new friends. And even though there are managers and people have different roles, like in all companies, our collaborative work environment values everyone’s opinions and thoughts, fostering a sense of teamwork that I greatly appreciate. The culture at PIR definitely aligns with my own values. Beyond the culture, PIR is a management consultant firm with a focus on sourcing & procurement, something that aligns well with both my personal interests and my educational background in Industrial Engineering and Management with a masters degree in Logistics and Supply Chain management.
What has been the best part of joining PIR so far?
The most thrilling aspect of joining PIR was the immediate involvement in a client project team, already on my first day after the onboarding weeks with Bloom, and that has been so much fun! To finally feel that my work matters and that I have a responsibility towards my colleagues and the client. The introduction weeks with the Bloom graduate program is also something that is worth mentioning, I met so many amazing people and had such a fun and educative time!
