We’re building Tomorrow’s Connections Today, bringing people together through the power of our technology. 

Liberty Global is a world leader in converged broadband, video and mobile communications and an active investor in cutting-edge infrastructure, content and technology ventures. 

With our investments in fibre-based and 5G networks we play a vital role in society, currently providing over 85 million fixed and mobile connections and rolling out the next generation of products and services, while readying our networks for 10 Gbps and beyond. 

We’re creating national champions, combining the best broadband and mobile networks under brands such as Virgin Media-02 in the UK, VodafoneZiggo in The Netherlands, Telenet in Belgium, Sunrise in Switzerland, Virgin Media in Ireland and UPC in Slovakia. 

Liberty Global Ventures, our global investment arm, has a portfolio of more than 75 companies and funds across content, technology and infrastructure, including strategic stakes in ITV, Univision, Plume, Lionsgate and the Formula E racing series. 

Our scale enables us to transfer knowledge and expertise across our operations and investments, creating a dynamic family of brands united in the pursuit of innovation and excellence. 

And we’re prioritising diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace and communities, while reducing our impact on the environment. We are using technology as a force for good; for our people, our partners and the planet. 

Join us on our dedicated graduate scheme, and you’ll gain in-depth experience of our People team, while developing your expertise, working on real projects with impact, studying for the internationally recognised CIPD qualification and laying the groundwork for a future leadership career with us. 

What to expect

Our scheme consists of two six-month rotations and two twelve-month rotations across a range of People functions, including: 

  • Talent & Leadership Development 
  • Strategic Planning & Transformation 
  • Diversity, Equity & Inclusion  
  • Reward 
  • HR Business Partnering 
  • Early Careers 

 Throughout your 3 years you’ll rotate through four different teams within the function across our entire global federation: this means you’ll have the opportunity to rotate across different countries, sectors and organisations.  

We will also fully fund and support you to achieve your CIPD level 7 qualification. Alongside a CIPD qualification, you will follow a comprehensive learning and development curriculum to help you build valuable business & soft skills.  

“One of the main reasons that I applied for Liberty Global was due to the opportunities that are available for the graduates. For example, graduates are able to move internationally as a part of their rotations.  I was also really interested in what Liberty Global does. Alongside owning some big name companies, such as Virgin Media O2, they also invest in some really cool initiatives like Formula E.”
