The Positon
We develop pioneering therapies and health solutions, many of them crucial for patients' survival. Our team is made up of 54,000 colleagues worldwide. We are a family-owned company and maintain that family feel despite our size. So we want our people to have it really good - from their salary, to tip-top technical facilities, to job security, and much more. (Not to mention our terrific canteens and trendy cafés on campus!) Now we are looking for
trainees
to join our two-year
Finance and Controlling program
. Our trainee program is designed to equip you for your future in a management or expert role with us. On our DISCOVER platform, you'll be networking with 30 to 40 highly creative fellow trainees from all over the world! Whether Global Business Services, Corporate Finance, Finance Germany or Purchasing, you'll rotate through lots of different departments, staying in each one for four to five months at a time. To begin with, we'll discuss with you which departments would be most relevant and exciting for you. You'll start off at the Ingelheim site where you'll learn about our Controlling tools, familiarize yourself with our systems and get involved in budget planning and long-term forecasting, essentially giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in our day-to-day business.
You'll also take responsibility for your own projects, focusing on questions like: Where can we do even better? Where are we perhaps lacking a process? Your creativity is called for and we can't wait to hear your ideas! As soon as you have mastered the basics, you'll be deployed in larger-scale, often global projects involving, for example, the international roll-out of new tools. And after that? We'll send you abroad for around three months, perhaps to Dubai, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Amsterdam, Spain, France, or Italy. We'll always try to factor in your wishes when deciding where to assign you. During your rotation, you will of course get to meet lots of new people. We'll also appoint a mentor from the senior management team for you. The trainee circle will also meet in regular leadership talks with senior management from all the different business units in order to discuss work, share experience and knowledge, and many other things, thereby giving you the chance to establish a valuable network. The trainee circle also often gives rise to personal friendships too.
