Be clear of what you want from your career and what you’re inputting.
Nobody knows better than you where you want to go in Finance, so we’ll give you the scope to create your own career path. On our part, we’ll provide you with the inspiration, tools and opportunities so you can keep your options open and realize your aspirations.
We’ll make sure that you have a rich blend of experiences. This will enable you to build your knowledge of our business, develop your technical expertise in your niche area and, where appropriate, acquire non-specific financial skills such as influencing, people management and leadership.
Most of your learning in Finance will come from on-the-job experience. This may mean taking on assignments beyond your own area (and comfort zone), moving across functions within Finance or relocating to a new country – the onus will come from you. But you’ll be learning from others too, perhaps shadowing a more experienced colleague, receiving mentoring or coaching from your manager, or building your network of contacts. There will also be learning events and courses, from face-to-face workshops to webinars, to top up your finance knowledge.
Follow your passion, be a lifelong learner and always stay humble.
