Finance Graduate Leadership Development Programme

Summary of Role:

At Raytheon UK we are proud to have developed a skilled workforce which is a leader in technological innovation across cyber and intelligence, aerospace and defence. However, it’s not just our technology that pushes boundaries, our finance team is always going above and beyond to deliver a quality service to the business and enable excellence through strong financial leadership.

Our Finance Graduate Leadership Develop Programme provides the opportunity to experience a series of placements across the spectrum of finance disciplines: accounting, pricing, financial planning and analysis, strategy, operations and business finance.

Working in our finance team is not just about producing numbers, it’s about understanding what drives them and making complex financial issues easy to understand.

Training and development

  • You’ll be supported through the CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) professional qualification
  • Outward bound team building events to develop collaboration and communication
  • Offsite training days focused on understanding your learning and communication preferences and developing presentation skills, business acumen and strategic thinking

We expect a lot from our Graduates but in return you will be part of a culture at Raytheon that rewards success:

  • Talent development – several recent Graduates have gone on to be part of the global Raytheon Leadership Development Programme that involves a series of modules in the US
  • Advancement opportunities – many past Graduates and Trainees are now in various managerial and leadership roles within finance
  • Six monthly pay reviews during the 2 year Graduate scheme based on individual performance, pay reviews based on exam performance and performance in role
  • Mentoring opportunities to help you leverage the experience of others to challenge yourself and think differently

The Experience

You could find yourself pricing a new bid for the latest Raytheon technology, helping a Programme Manager at our state of the art Cyber Security centre better understand their finances or helping a Business Director control the finances of their department. There is a strong Graduate presence in the finance function with a regular Forum for our Graduates, Apprentices and Trainees to share experiences, ideas, study tips and learn more about the business and industry.
