About our Finance Graduate Programme

If you have obtained a degree or are expecting to achieve a degree in 2027 and are seeking an opportunity where you can gain real business experience, then the Mercedes-Benz Finance Graduate Programme could be for you.

The Graduate Programme offers the opportunity to complete four unique six-month placements within the finance department and beyond, working with colleagues of all specialisms and expertise.

This will see you spending time with the Accounting and two Controlling teams, as well as finding your own placement in an area of interest to you, giving you the opportunity to expand your horizons and develop a broad understanding of how Finance partners with the wider business.

In each placement you will have the chance to learn about the role the department plays in the day to day and strategic operations of the business, as well as expanding your knowledge and skillset.

Your responsibilities come in the form of day-to-day tasks that you will quickly come to own end to end, as well as assisting on larger projects and even leading some initiatives of your own.
