Our Finance Graduate programme will see you gain a solid foundation of knowledge to start your career. Reporting into a Finance Manager, we're committed to giving you a well-rounded experience and you'll be in the centre of the action as we work together with the wider business to deliver success.

Our 3-year Finance Graduate programme will see you gain a solid foundation of knowledge in Year 1, before then moving into a new rotation in both years 2 & 3. Rotations are subject to demand, but here’s an idea of where you could land:

• Global Financial Services – Experian’s GFS function delivers important finance processes such as accounts receivable and payable, strategic client support, credit management, controls and compliance.
• Accounting & Control – The A&C team plays an important role within finance, managing risks, statutory reporting, internal controls and regulatory compliance.
• Finance Partnering - Finance sits at the centre of the action as we work together with the wider business to support on finance matters.
• Financial Planning & Analysis - Managing finances processes for the UK&I region, including budget, revenue forecasting, cost forecasting and strategic planning
• Finance Systems - Overseeing and optimising the systems and technologies that Experian uses to manage its finance processes
• Strategic Pricing Team – The commercial team help make data-driven and strategic pricing decisions.

 As part of this Finance Graduate programme, you will also study towards your funded CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) qualification through a level 7 apprenticeship, which will take up to 3 years to complete.

We are looking for our future leaders of Finance at Experian, so we are looking for graduates who are driven and excited about progressing with a career in finance. You'll be comfortable with financial concepts and working with people at all seniority levels.

Our Graduate roles are permanent opportunities, and you'll also take part in our 2 year structured Early Careers Development Programme when you join us which is packed with workshops, short-courses & online material designed to help kick-start your career.

Our concept is simple. We believe in expanding horizons – it's what makes Experian a global leader and a Top UK Tech Employer.

• To have been ordinarily resident in the UK for at least 3 years before starting the apprenticeship qualification (not wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education). This is due to UK government apprenticeship funding rules.
