Responsibilities

Appetite for Growth. Finance Graduate Scheme Overview

We are offering a 3-year Graduate Programme designed to develop the future Nomad Foods Finance Leadership Team. The Programme contains three 12-month rotation placements within the finance function in an accelerated learning environment.

The Graduate Programme will give aspirational finance leaders a solid grounding across key elements of the finance and accounting function. This will enable Finance Graduates to gain experience in the different roles within finance and to help them pick their career path for the future, whilst building a great understanding of how the business operates. During the 3 years the successful candidates will undertake 3 placements within the following areas:

  • Financial Planning and Analysis: Working in the FP&A team, providing insight into business performance and helping to deliver the forecasting and management reporting processes, which will help you to build an understanding of business performance drivers and analytical tools.
  • Financial Reporting: Working in the Financial Reporting team to help deliver our statutory accounts and reporting requirements to the SEC, which will help you to build a strong technical understanding of financial accounting and requirements of our investor base for reporting.
  • Commercial Finance: Working in the Commercial Finance team partnering our Sales and Marketing teams to deliver business performance, which will help you to build an understanding of the drivers of our commercial business and support on commercial discussions and negotiations.
  • Supply Chain Finance: Working in the Supply Chain Finance team partnering with our Supply Chain (Factories and Procurement), which will help you build a clear understanding of how we produce and distribute our products through the operational side of our business.
  • Internal Audit: Working in the Internal Audit Team contributing to internal audit and internal control projects, helping to ensure that business systems, policies, processes and procedures are being appropriately operated, and taking action where it is found that compliance is being breached or weaknesses are identified.
  • Shared Service Centre: Developing an understanding of the core finance and accounting practices on which the operations of the company are built.

It will be challenging, there is no doubt. However, we’re looking to make all our Graduates managers at the conclusion of the three-year programme.

Headquartered in the UK, we employ 4,600 people in 17 countries, with 13 factories. This gives us the scale, the talent and the opportunities to achieve our ambitions.

Nomad Foods is owned by Nomad Foods Inc., a US-listed company, whose goal is to build a global portfolio of best in class food companies and brands within the frozen category and across the broader food sector. 

Our portfolio of market-leading brands includes Birds Eye, iglo and Findus which are synonymous with frozen food and offer consumers great tasting, easy-to-prepare food that is nutritious and good value. 

We market and distribute our brands, which also include Lutosa and La Cocinera, in 17 countries across Europe.

Nomad Foods was created with the acquisitions of Iglo Group and the continental businesses of Findus Group and both companies have a rich history, stretching back to the early days of frozen food. Birds Eye, iglo and Findus were pioneer brands back in the 1940s and 1950s and created the frozen food category that we have today.

At Nomad Foods, we have a passion for food, a belief in our brands and a real desire to reinvigorate frozen food across Europe. Everything we do is underpinned by Forever Food Together, our European-wide sustainability initiative which aims at providing our customers with tasty, nutritious dishes and tackling food waste through sustainable food products.
