Job Details

Whizz with numbers? Join our finance team and be right at the heart of all the action. Dive right in to exciting projects and learn on the job while studying for your CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) qualification. 

Find out first-hand what it’s like to be an Accountant for a leading entertainment brand. Commercial Finance influences key business decisions. Support new product launches. Advise on whether we should invest in a new TV show or a game-changing piece of technology. Manage company-wide budgets and gain experience in our Corporate Finance team. And enjoy a collaborative, caring culture that helps us achieve brilliant things. There’s only one place you’ll see action like this in your career – and that’s Sky. 

What you’ll be doing 

You’ll go on three, year-long placements, spanning the entire business. From content and channels, to product development and technology, sales and strategy. Spend time in Livingston HQ in Scotland. And if you fancy, work in our Munich and Milan offices.  Plus, you’ll be financially supported to study for your CIMA qualification while gaining relevant experience – meaning that you’ll be able to join the world’s largest and leading professional body of Management Accountants. 

Through your business rotations, you’ll learn how to set budgets and track against them, develop business cases to support projects and investment decisions, analyse data to provide key insight, and collaborate with teams across the business to meet and exceed our business targets. 

What you’ll need to be 

  • The one essential requirement is that you’re a graduate, or soon will be. Our programme is designed to give you all the knowledge and experience you need, so it doesn’t matter what your degree is in.  
  • Commercially-minded and a problem-solver 
  • Collaborative and great with people   
  • A self-starter, eager to drive change in an exciting and dynamic environment 

Perks

The perks are pretty fantastic too. Excellent pension, private healthcare and a share save scheme. Plus the Sky Q premium TV package of course. What’s not to love?  

When to apply 

The current closing date for applications is 3rd Nov 2019. But things move quickly around here, so apply now to avoid disappointment. 

It’s our people that make Sky Europe’s leading entertainment company. That’s why we work hard to be an inclusive employer, so everyone at Sky can be their best. 

If you are successful in your application for this role, your appointment will be subject to receiving a positive outcome from your Criminal Record Check.
