This will be coupled with central and functionally led learning objectives which underpin the overall programme. You will take responsibility to fully engage in all learning and role-based responsibilities and, throughout the programme, we will seek for you to build skills and knowledge in key areas.
Responsibility Areas:

Skills and Experience
To be successful, you will be a university graduate, with a recently completed degree in in a relevant subject with a passion for a commercial role with delivery and customers at the heart of it. You will be passionate and enthusiastic, with the ability to demonstrate leadership qualities through inspiring colleagues and leading by example. You will have the confidence to positively challenge, to solve problems and value diversity of thought. A resilient mindset, an agile and flexible approach, and the desire to collaborate with others, beyond your own team will be held in high regard. Accountability for learning, creating the space to be curious with a continuous improvement mind-set is essential. Give more - be yourself and get involved, because together, we will build a sustainable future for our industry, positively impact the societies in which we operate and make a world of difference.
This graduate programme will incorporate a rotation in London, therefore individuals must be flexible and willing to temporarily relocate for this period.
We foster an environment that values diversity of thought, and want all of our colleagues to feel welcomed, valued, and able to make meaningful contributions and be their full authentic self.
