UK Sales and Marketing Graduate Programme (FMCG)

A year in the UK in Sales and a second year in a European country in Marketing – our programme offers you Maximum Exposure to the brands and business of a global market leader in FMCG.

There will be no blending into the background. It’s time to tackle new challenges. Take calculated risks. Make daring decisions. Be assertive. Be brave. Be bold. Then ask for more. This is a pan-European opportunity to get your heart thumping.

Your opportunity to travel

We’ve added a new dimension to a Sales and Marketing graduate programme that’s already renowned as one of the most challenging and fast-paced in FMCG. You’ll get to live and work in two different countries over the course of two years – gaining the kind of exposure that other graduates can only dream of. The exact locations will be decided after we’ve confirmed your job offer.

Your year in UK Sales

Working on big budget projects from the outset, you’ll start as a Sales Executive tasked with looking after business plans, devising promotional sales strategies and managing relationships with our key customers.

Your year in European Marketing

From the minute you step through our doors, we’ll expect you to deliver on a range of campaigns. You’ll look after PR, in-store promotions, new product launches, packaging… and everything in between.

Your opportunity to shine

The programme gives you immediate exposure to some of the world’s biggest brands. Early responsibility means more opportunity to shine, and to earn recognition for the results you deliver. The pace and agility of our business means ideas can become reality in no time at all. And those ideas can come from anywhere and anyone, new graduates included. It’s not unusual for us to bring new products to market in less than a year – something that’s almost unheard of in our industry.

Your opportunity to develop – and progress

Spend a year in both Sales and Marketing and you will have built the perfect platform for launching a lasting career. We see investment in our graduates as a key global business objective. In addition to formal training, you’ll learn on the job from your managers, from your mentor and from a wide range of inspirational colleagues. On completing the programme, we’ll work closely with you to scope out your career. Then it’s time to continue to impress us with your performance. Results are the way you’ll make a name for yourself.
