Join our dedicated graduate scheme, and you’ll gain in-depth experience of our Finance operation, while developing your expertise, studying for the internationally recognised CIMA professional qualification, laying the groundwork for a future leadership career with us.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our scheme consists of three 12-month rotations across a range of departments including:

• Capital Allocation & Business Control
• Audit, Risk & Compliance
• Procurement
• Treasury
• Tax
• Finance Operations
• Investor Relations

During the 3 years on the scheme you will develop a core understanding of the structure, processes, and systems of Finance. As part of your onboarding we will focus on setting you up for success in Liberty Global Finance as you undergo various trainings, including Excel, Financial Modelling and Internal Reporting.

Over the three 12-month rotations you will gain experience in some of our Generalist areas, such as Capital Allocation and Business Control, Audit Risk & Compliance and Procurement, as well as experiencing more specialist areas like Treasury, Strategy and Mergers & Acquisitions. You will have the opportunity to move into these roles within our UK and European operating companies and ventures. 

Your first 12-month rotation will be in one of our London locations – we will confirm rotations prior to your start date.

LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT

It is mandatory that you complete the qualification within the 3-years of being on the scheme - we will support in providing a schedule to allow you to do this.
