Position Summary

Finance is integral to everything we do at BG Group; be it analysing project fundamentals or looking at potential mergers and acquisitions or just regular accounting, everything you do will play an important part in supporting business decisions made across multiple levels within the company. 

By joining finance at BG Group you will soon realise the business demands of functional professionals who are required to adapt quickly, integrating into different parts of the organisation and adding value to our complex and diverse project portfolio. To support you in achieving this, we provide world class training and development to ensure that your full potential can be realised.

As well as developing core financial skills you will learn about strategy, economics, market fundamentals, mergers, acquisitions and disposals or investor relations. This programme gives the chance to work in real, situations and assume a level of responsibility from the start. On each assignment, you will be working alongside experienced finance professionals and may be based in any of the countries that we operate in. With at least one guaranteed international placement, the IGDP will be the start of your international career with BG Group.

Taking on this challenge, you’ll be a part of our ever-growing IGDP. This is your chance to work for a rapidly growing business with real challenges, real rewards and a very real opportunity to progress your international career. 

Key Accountabilities

You will acquire the necessary skills, experience and behaviours to ensure you have a successful, international career with BG Group. The areas of finance in which you can expect to experience placements include:

• Working in one or more of our Group Audit, Treasury, Risk and Taxation teams
• Reporting, forecasting and planning at country and group levels
• Cost control and recovery
• Learning about strategy, economics, market fundamentals, mergers, acquisitions and disposals or investor relations

Every individual has a duty to both themselves and those around them to ensure that safe practice is adhered to at all times. In addition to any specific accountability for health, safety, security and the environment, all employees are accountable for ensuring that they take care of themselves and adopt exemplary safe behaviours.

Unique Knowledge, Skills, Experience and Attribute

Minimum qualification: 2:1 Bachelors Degree
Preferred qualification: Masters Degree or Equivalent 
Subjects: Finance, Maths, Business, Economics 

Just as important as your academic qualifications are the personal, professional and business skills you are required to demonstrate and develop the following skills qualities and attributes;

• You will need to exhibit strong collaborative behaviours and the confidence to lead cross-functional teams to drive the best business outcomes for BG.
• You will need to demonstrate commercial edge, and at the same time, a strong ethical awareness. 
• You will need to be highly organised, managing a challenging workload and employing an analytical approach.
• You will need a keen eye for detail and must be comfortable writing reports and giving presentations. 
• Fluency in English is a must; given that we are a global business a second or third language is highly desirable.

Since at least one or more of your placements will be based overseas, you must be prepared to live and work away from home for extended periods. You must also have the confidence, influence, and cultural sensitivity to make the most of this opportunity. You are expected to build internal and external networks amongst peers and BG colleagues across functions and countries.
