About The Position

This is an exciting opportunity to develop your skills, expand your network, and explore what's possible across a global financial services organization. Over 24 months, you’ll dive into three dynamic 8-month rotations that will give you real-world experience in key areas like: Accounting/tax/audit – learn the steps to reach the bottom line; Finance – create decision support-based analytics for business partners; and Utility – blend both your finance and accounting skills on business projects that involve our internal service providers and business processes (ex: procurement, risk, treasury, real estate, business planning and analysis).
