What to expect

Rotations: Our scheme consists of three 12-month rotations across a range of departments including:

  • Capital Allocation & Business Control
  • Audit, Risk & Compliance
  • Procurement
  • Treasury
  • Tax
  • Finance Operations
  • Group Reporting & Technical Accounting
  • Property
  • Facilities & Fleet

During the 3 years on the scheme you will develop a core understanding of the structure, processes, and systems of Finance. As part of your onboarding we will focus on setting you up for success in Liberty Global Finance as you undergo various trainings, including Excel, Financial Modelling and Internal Reporting.

Over the three 12-month rotations you will gain experience in some of our Generalist areas, such as Capital Allocation and Business Control, Audit Risk & Compliance and Procurement, as well as experiencing more specialist areas like Treasury, Strategy and Mergers & Acquisitions. You will have the opportunity to move into these roles within our UK and European operating companies and ventures.

Your first 12-month rotation will be in either our London or Bradford office – we will confirm locations 2 months prior to your start date.

Learning & Development : We will also fully fund and support you to achieve your CIMA qualification, with generous study leave and pay progression that are both above industry standards. It is mandatory that you complete the qualification within the 3-years of being on the scheme – we will support in providing a schedule to allow you to do this. Alongside this, you will follow a solid learning and development curriculum to help you build valuable business & soft skills. Courses will include presentation training, effective business writing, partner management & many more.

“The finance scheme has provided a wealth of opportunities for both professional and personal growth. Through various rotations, I have gained exposure to different areas of finance, learning from a diverse group of experts who have enriched my skillset and honed my business acumen. I’ve been entrusted with significant responsibilities, including leading project workstreams in M&A deals and serving as a Finance Graduate Representative. A standout moment was orchestrating a two-day event in Dublin that brought together 150 graduates and finance managers from across the Liberty Global federation. Additionally, the programme has offered the invaluable experience to work and live in Amsterdam, where I have deepened connections with colleagues across the business and grew personally through immersion in a different culture.”
