Working at BAE Systems...
Do you want to work in a finance role with a difference? How about looking out of your office window and watching the Hawk and Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft take off? Or walking past the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier on your way to work every morning? What about being fast tracked into a leadership role working on one of our billion pound contracts with UK or International governments? If this appeals then the Finance Leader Development Programme at BAE Systems could be for you.
By joining BAE Systems as a graduate, you’ll quickly become involved in developing some of the most technologically advanced defence, security and aerospace systems in the world.
We work together with local partners to develop, engineer, manufacture and support the innovations that sustain economies, increase defence sovereignty and safeguard commercial interests. With some 84,600 employees in six continents, our story is about talented people who are relentlessly committed to creating solutions that protect and strengthen nations, commerce, communities and people.
As one of the world’s most technologically innovative companies, we can offer you an exciting and challenging career. Our Finance Leader Development Programme (FLDP) combines formal learning with real world challenges across a number of placements to help you realise your potential.
About the Finance Leader Development Programme...
BAE Systems’ FLDP is a 5-year fast-track graduate scheme, which seeks to prepare individuals to become Finance Directors of the future within our organisation, through an accelerated programme of training and practical experience. The programme includes a structured and fully supported route to the highly respected Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) qualification. It will also equip you with all the leadership and management skills necessary to become one of the finance function's senior leaders.
If you join us, you can expect a finance role that offers significant responsibility from the outset. In the first three years, you will undertake three 12-month placements across the company, each being in a different location in the UK, in a different Business Unit and in a different core area of Finance; you will gain experience of financial accounting, financial reporting, management accounting and project accounting. After achieving your CIMA qualification, the FLDP scheme continues with a two-year senior accountancy position, including a minimum of 20 days training and development. This will equip you to launch yourself into a leadership role at the end of the scheme. Our CIMA pass rate is consistently over 90 per cent, our FLDP graduates have been CIMA prize-winners over the last seven years and most of the FLDP scheme members are promoted to executive finance positions within four to five years of joining.
We are looking to recruit a number of high-potential graduates to join the scheme in August 2015.
