Together, we are the Journey Makers.
We are on a mission to connect people with the world. Across MAG airports, our friendly, passionate teams are busy making journeys smoother, safer and more sustainable for our customers and communities.
Join us to start your career journey at MAG and experience a Graduate Programme which empowers your growth every day. We will embed you into core elements of our organisation, connect you with mentors and peers, and enable you to help shape our future and the journeys of our customers. We are the Journey Makers. Become one too.
Jan Bramall, Chief Financial Officer for MAG has a vested interest in Early Talent at MAG and has seen the Programme produce some of her best people. Nurturing and ensuring high mentorship opportunities for you.
About the opportunity
This is your chance to embark on an industry-leading career in Finance. The skills you will develop are used by Finance Managers, Commercial leaders, Strategists, and Execs, to name just a few career pathways.
Throughout the Programme, you’ll have access to a wide range of professional development Programmes plus both formal and informal learning. The formal learning element, which we will sponsor, requires you to study for an internationally recognised accountancy qualification (CIMA or ACCA).
Over three years, you will
- Complete a thorough induction programme, which includes trips to each of our airports.
- Rotate through our different Finance business areas, including Transactional Shared Services, Management Accounting, Statutory Reporting, Planning & Analysis and Business Partnering.
Our aim is that you build the skills you need to become a great Finance Business Partner at MAG. You’ll finish the three-year programme with a breadth of knowledge that spans across the business and a range of management skills that will stand you in good stead for the rest of your career.
Who we’re looking for?
Most importantly, we’re looking for applicants that can connect with people at all levels in the organisation, absorb information, interpret it to understand the impact on others and then, draw conclusions with conviction.
- The key to the Programme is passion and communication; show us you that you have this in abundance, and we’ll do the rest.
- There is no single path to becoming a Finance leader so we’re hiring based on skills and behaviours; you can apply for this scheme with any degree classification in any discipline, but a strong aptitude for numbers will be advantageous.
- Lastly, to meet our security clearance requirements, you should have lived in the UK for the last three years.

Our people feel proud of the work they do to make our airports successful and the growth they bring to the surrounding communities and regions. Our Graduate Programmes give you the opportunity to take on real work with a real impact, and to benefit from world-class training.
