Finance legends start here 

Do you want to play a key role in transforming our business? Want to help us make data-driven decisions, learn to identify what’s driving our commercial performance, and be part of the finance team of the future? Then apply for our graduate programme in Finance – because it’s never too soon to think about your future legacy. 

On this programme, you’ll grasp the opportunity to see how our Finance team adds huge value to our wider business. It’s a truly exciting time to join as we transform the way we work by making our operations leaner and more effective. Explore our people-first digital-centric approach to finance as you discover the kind of professional you want to be. And ignite your passion for retail in our supportive environment, aimed at broadening your understanding through dedicated financial activities. 

Over 36 months, you’ll complete rotations across the Finance team. You can expect to spend time in technical, commercial and operational areas, where you’ll develop your skills, knowledge and understanding across the board. Empowering the business to make decisions which are driven by the data and ensure the right tools, processes and governance are in place in doing so. You’ll do all of this while completing your professional qualifications, which means you’ll be a fully qualified legend by the time you complete the programme. 

Whether you want to go on to big things in our diverse, global organisation or use the programme to pursue your ultimate ambitions, we’ll give you the experience, mentoring and guidance to succeed. 

You don’t need a specific degree to apply for this programme, but you’ll need a passion for retail, a taste for numbers and an interest in business. While it’s a bonus if you’re part-qualified for CIMA or ACCA, it’s not a requirement and we’ll fully support your studies.  

After the programme, we expect you’ll move on to a finance analyst role, before taking on finance manager and senior manager roles as you grow your career.
