How does the programme work?
From Guinness, Smirnoff and Roe & Co to Baileys, Rockshore and Gordon’s, Diageo has a stable of premium drinks brands enjoyed the world over. Our Marketing teams play a big role in ensuring our brands live and breathe their purpose and we remain at the heart of celebrations everywhere.
You’ll help create compelling and powerful stories to make our existing brands even stronger, and perhaps even launching new ones. Developing creative platforms that will be activated all over the world, you’ll use your creativity, vision and pioneering spirit to bring our brands to life.
On this rotational programme, you’ll get to experience different roles with a focus on supporting the growth of both our global and local products. You could have an opportunity to excel in areas such as Brand Marketing, Culture, Media & Digital, Customer Activation and Shopper Planning & Activation. Through working on iconic and innovative brands you will be inspired to excel and build the foundations of your Marketing and Commercial Capability. These foundations will help you to advance at an accelerated pace, where you’ll be ready to specialise in an area of Marketing within Diageo after the programme.
At Diageo, we believe in fostering a culture of continuous learning where every day presents an opportunity for growth, development. Across your graduate programme, you will have a combination of formal training, mentoring and hands on learning with the wider European Cohort. This will help you gain a strong foundation of leadership skills, a deep understanding of Diageo's operations and feel empowered by the end of your programme to follow various career paths within our organisation. From the beginning you’ll be working on projects that will develop and improve your skill set. You’ll help shape the future of our brands and business by driving growth, all whilst building a global network of relationships that will support your career, both now and long into the future.
Who are we looking for?
On the qualification side, you’ll need to have acquired or be expecting to obtain an academic degree and be graduating in 2024 or within the last 5 years. You must be proficient in English and our graduate opportunities require you to be mobile and prepared to relocate geographically during the programme.
You’ll need to be a curious, flexible, self-motivated team-player who loves to turn ideas into action and someone who shows integrity, respect for others and, above all, a passion for learning something new every day.
Most importantly, we ask you to be you. Come as you are, with your own ideas and ambitions, and let's celebrate your talent and empower you to reach your fullest potential.
What are the rewards?
With everything you can learn here, and the long-term opportunities we have to offer, the Marketing Graduate Programme could just be the best decision you’ve ever made.
Join us and you can also expect to receive a highly competitive salary (salary is dependent on the location of your rotations, as an example your year one salary based within Ireland will be in the region of €43,000), along with an annual bonus opportunity and industry leading benefits package.
