We offer you an intense two-year developmental journey where you’ll learn from experts within your field and get international project experience, tools to drive innovation, and a strong cross-functional network with other talents.

The Graduate journey
Our Graduate Program consists of two-three rotations, where you’ll solve business challenges, take responsibility for your own assignments, and engage in our day-to-day business decisions.

You’ll play an important role in:

• month-end close of project budgets
• preparation of monthly forecast updates, reconciliation, and reports
• monthly budget review sessions with budget owners, highlighting actual costs incurred and preparing commentary regarding budget variances
• ensuring timely delivery of reports to the project teams
• optimizing the way we work to ensure our processes and tools are fit for purpose.

To succeed in this role, you:

• have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in finance-related studies from before September, 1 2024 with great results
• demonstrate great communication skills and can present results to stakeholders in a clear and understandable manner
• can balance multiple priorities, while driving timely outcomes
