Finance is about more than reporting numbers. It's about understanding the business behind them and using that knowledge to make better decisions.
Our two-year Finance Graduate Programme takes you through different parts of our international Finance organisation. You'll start with hands-on operational experience, build an understanding of how our financial processes connect and gradually take on more responsibility through projects and specialisation.
You'll learn from experienced colleagues across countries and functions. And we'll expect you to bring your own ideas, effort and curiosity to the table.
There's opportunity. And responsibility.
People grow by taking responsibility. As a Finance Graduate, you'll be given opportunities to learn, contribute and explore different areas of Finance.
But development doesn't happen on its own.
You'll be expected to work hard, take initiative and contribute to the teams you join. Some days will involve detailed operational tasks. Others will challenge you to solve problems, collaborate across functions and find better ways of working.
You'll have colleagues to learn from and support you. What you make of the opportunities will also depend on what you put into them.
Your days will vary depending on your rotation. You might be working with financial reporting or contributing to a project with international colleagues. You'll experience how Finance works in practice and how your work supports the business.
We expect you to take responsibility and put in the effort. You'll need to be curious, pay attention to detail and contribute to the team. Not every task will be exciting, but every task you meet matters.
You'll gain hands-on experience across our international Finance organisation, supported by colleagues who share their knowledge. As you develop, you'll take on more responsibility and explore different areas of Finance. How far you progress also depends on you.
Two years. Different experiences. One direction.
YEAR 1: Understand how Finance works
You'll start by building a strong foundation in operational Finance. Working with daily transactions, financial processes and reporting, you'll learn how the numbers come together and how different areas of Finance connect. Along the way, you'll gain hands-on experience across our international organisation.
YEAR 2: Put your knowledge to work
Building on your first year, you'll take on greater responsibility and work more independently. You'll manage Finance projects, collaborate with stakeholders and be expected to take more initiative. You'll also have the opportunity to support incoming graduates as they begin their programme.
