We’re building Tomorrow’s Connections Today, bringing people together through the power of our technology.

Liberty Global is a world leader in converged broadband, video and mobile communications and an active investor in cutting-edge infrastructure, content and technology ventures.

With our investments in fibre-based and 5G networks we play a vital role in society, currently providing over 85 million fixed and mobile connections and rolling out the next generation of products and services, while readying our networks for 10 Gbps and beyond.

We’re creating national champions, combining the best broadband and mobile networks under brands such as Virgin Media-02 in the UK, VodafoneZiggo in The Netherlands, Telenet in Belgium, Sunrise in Switzerland, Virgin Media in Ireland and UPC in Slovakia.

Liberty Global Ventures, our global investment arm, has a portfolio of more than 75 companies and funds across content, technology and infrastructure, including strategic stakes in ITV, Univision, Plume, Lionsgate and the Formula E racing series.

Our scale enables us to transfer knowledge and expertise across our operations and investments, creating a dynamic family of brands united in the pursuit of innovation and excellence.

And we’re prioritising diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace and communities, while reducing our impact on the environment. We are using technology as a force for good; for our people, our partners and the planet.

Join our dedicated graduate scheme, and you’ll gain in-depth experience of our Finance operation, while developing your expertise, studying for the internationally recognised CIMA professional qualification, laying the groundwork for a future leadership career with us.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our scheme consists of three 12-month rotations across a range of departments including:

• Capital Allocation & Business Control
• Audit, Risk & Compliance
• Procurement
• Treasury
• Tax
• Finance Operations
• Group Reporting & Technical Accounting

During the 3 years on the scheme you will develop a core understanding of the structure, processes, and systems of Finance. As part of your onboarding we will focus on setting you up for success in Liberty Global Finance as you undergo various trainings, including Excel, Financial Modelling and Internal Reporting.

Over the three 12-month rotations you will gain experience in some of our Generalist areas, such as Capital Allocation and Business Control, Audit Risk & Compliance and Procurement, as well as experiencing more specialist areas like Treasury, Strategy and Mergers & Acquisitions. You will have the opportunity to move into these roles within our UK and European operating companies and ventures.

Your first 12-month rotation will be in either our London or Bradford office – we will confirm locations 2 months prior to your start date.

LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT

We will also fully fund and support you to achieve your CIMA qualification, with generous study leave and pay progression that are both above industry standards. It is mandatory that you complete the qualification within the 3-years of being on the scheme - we will support in providing a schedule to allow you to do this. Alongside this, you will follow a solid learning and development curriculum to help you build valuable business & soft skills. Courses will include presentation training, effective business writing, partner management & many more.
