About us:

The Finance team at Airbus Defence and Space acts as a strategic co-pilot to operational units, taking responsibility for the business's overall financial management and performance. Our scope spans multi-year forecasting, scenario modelling, and comprehensive P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow analysis. We work directly with operational teams to evaluate cost structures, track actual performance against targets, identify financial risks and opportunities, and support decision-making across complex aerospace and defence projects.
Alongside driving performance, our function enforces financial governance, compliance, and process standards across the organisation. We structure cost accounting, establish appropriate funding schemes, navigate statutory requirements, and manage audit and reporting requirements. A key part of our role is raising financial awareness across non-finance business areas through dedicated tools, shared referentials, and ongoing operational support. For a placement student, this position offers direct involvement in live financial modelling, reporting, and operational finance processes within a large-scale industrial setting.
