Job description

About the Program

Are you looking to open the doors to a dynamic career combining strategic thinking, hands‑on experience, and leadership development? At ASSA ABLOY, our operations professionals continually push the boundaries of what is possible – how can we drive efficiency? optimize processes? make a tangible impact? Put simply: they challenge the status quo to improve our business on a daily basis.

Program Overview

The two‑year (24 month) ASSA ABLOY Rotational Development Program, or, as we like to call it – the RDP, will put you in the center of our Accounting and Finance organizations. Offering the broadest view of our business, you’ll be a key member of teams while rotating through multiple assignments at various facilities within the Commercial Segment of the Americas Division. Gain first‑hand knowledge from our world‑class, experienced professionals, and accelerate your career.

Core Focus Areas

• Operational Accounting
• Financial Planning and Analysis

In the Operational Accounting rotation, you will learn about the financial aspects of our business and how they impact our operations. You will work with accounting team members, controllers, and finance managers to prepare and analyse financial reports, budgets, and forecasts. You will also gain exposure to our internal control processes, audit processes, tax compliance and cost accounting methods.

In the Financial Planning and Analysis rotation, you will learn about the strategic aspects of our business and how they influence our financial performance. You will work with finance team members, business unit leaders, and senior management to develop and evaluate business plans, investment proposals (capital equipment), and profitability analysis. You will also gain insight into market dynamics, competitive landscape, and growth opportunities.

Optional Rotations

You will also have the opportunity to rotate in one of the following areas:

• ERP – In this rotation, you will learn about our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and how it supports our business operations. You will work with IT team members, finance staff, and business analysts to understand how our ERP system integrates data and processes across various functions, such as accounting, inventory, sales, and purchasing.
• Production – During this rotation, you will experience our production processes first‑hand, working with production team members, manufacturing engineering, and plant leadership teams to ensure our products are built and shipped to our customers’ satisfaction.
• Operational Excellence – During this rotation, you will work closely with our Operations problem solvers, who are experts at implementing LEAN tools, executing Six Sigma projects, planning new facilities, and consolidating existing sites. You will have the opportunity to improve your project management skills and develop innovative solutions.
• Supply Chain – During this rotation, you will work with our Global Supply Chain team, enhancing your logistics, planning, and purchasing skills while optimizing how our supply chain services our production and warehousing facilities.

You won’t just get a job here. You’ll join a global team. Your rotation will expose you to nearly 175+ brands, in 70 countries, across countless different roles. Within the Americas Division, there are nearly 16,500 team members collaborating with almost 61,000 professionals within the ASSA ABLOY Global Team. This distinction sets us apart as the world leader in access solutions.

About You

To be a competitive candidate, you will need to be an intellectually curious team player, ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow. We expect you to have an Accounting or Finance‑related degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Completing prior, degree‑specific internships is desirable. You should have a strong track record of involvement and engagement with on/off‑campus activities. You must have excellent communication skills, be a self‑starter, motivated, and driven to seek out challenges and find solutions. As a member of the RDP, you will have an opportunity to see and work at many of our manufacturing locations. You must be willing to relocate to each rotation site as well as be prepared to travel for potential trips.
