Your working week will be a blend of working in the office with the team, and working from home, with an expectation of a minimum level of attendance in the office, as agreed between yourself and your manager (e.g. 2/3 days working from home and 2/3 days working in office). In the initial phases of each placement, face to face interaction is likely to provide better opportunity to learn quickly and build on the knowledge base of your co-workers.
Closing date for this role is midnight on Monday 4th November
The opportunity:
Our vision in Finance is to operate as one coordinated team, which strives to deliver a consistent application of standard methodology, financial controls and processes. We look to challenge all areas of the business, improve shareholder value, protect the assets of MBDA and ensure we align with all national and shareholder requirements.
Finance Graduates work in three one-year placements to gain knowledge and experience in various areas of Finance, working with colleagues across the business, both nationally and internationally.
Potential placements could be available in the following areas:
Accounting and Planning – preparation of company level financial plans and reports for senior management and other stakeholders
Programmes Finance – working as a business partner within multi-functional teams, focused on contract delivery and execution
Cost Control – control of functional budgets, including Information Management and Facilities, and recovery of the cost base through hourly rates
Bids and Contract Evaluation – support the creation of robust, profitable financial proposals to customers for our products and services
Alongside your role, you'll study for the CIMA/ACCA/ACA Professional Qualification, which we fully fund. Additional leave is available for study and exams. Many training courses on offer provide learning opportunities for soft skills and deeper understanding of the organisation to support you in your career development. Support and mentorship will be provided by experienced Finance team members, as well as fellow finance graduates, a buddy and a mentor, who will all ensure you get the most from the programme.
At the end of the three years, you will have achieved the ultimate goal of becoming a Chartered Global Management Accountant through the completion of the Level 7 Accountancy Professional Apprenticeship.
Working in the Finance function provides the opportunity to develop as a business partner, supporting the business in value creation, sharing of standard methodology, and delivering as one team across cultures and national boundaries
What we're looking for from you
