Finance Intern

Job Description

Ready to grow your potential? Join us as a Finance Intern and be brave, real, and join a community of interns just like you. Work alongside finance professionals who keep our commercial cogs turning, make a lasting impact and earn £25,000 whilst doing it!

Get hands-on experience in our Finance Business Partnering teams during our 13-month intern scheme. Take guidance and support from experienced colleagues, enjoying new opportunities to help us drive projects forward, and solve problems using your own logic and initiative. By the end, you’ll have brand new skills, advanced knowledge and loads more confidence – all helping you power through the final year of university.

During this internship, you’ll also have the unique opportunity to complete a Finance Leadership Programme (FLP) with CIMA, completely funded by Virgin Media O2. Through an online platform, you’ll be able to expand baseline finance knowledge. If you come back for our Finance Graduate scheme, you’ll also be set up with exemptions from the CIMA qualification.

We operate a hybrid working environment, aiming for a minimum of 2 to 3 days per week in the office, with strong emphasis on maintaining flexibility based on our dynamic business needs.

Who we are

The UK’s fastest broadband network. The nation’s best-loved mobile brand. And, one of the UK's biggest companies too. Diverse, high performing teams - jam packed with serious talent. Together, we offer the UK more choice and better value, through our boundary-pushing, customer-championing values and ambitions. Together, we are Virgin Media O2, and we can't wait to see what you can do.

With inclusivity at our hearts, we’re 100% committed to having a workforce that represents every part of our society, so we’re keen to hear from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances. The only barrier to applying would be if you didn’t have the right to work in the UK and were unable to obtain it without our support.

The must haves

You must have a predicted 2:1 or above. But it doesn’t matter what subject – we’re more interested in your drive to develop and grow a successful career in Finance.

The other stuff we are looking for

We’re brave, and we want to see Interns that are motivated and resilient and curious to learn. We’re real – we want to see your confidence to question the ways we work, and your drive to succeed. We’re together, so it’s important you’re hard-working and have the urge to explore new opportunities.

A desire to route your finance career towards a CIMA qualification is preferred as this will help align you to joining our graduate scheme after you complete your degree.

What's in it for you

This isn’t just a 13-month internship, it’s a stepping-stone to a successful career with Virgin Media O2. Successful interns will be given the opportunity to return on our Finance Graduate scheme once they’ve completed their degree, with only a final interview – no more testing, telephone interviews or assessment centres. You’ll receive a salary of £25,000 plus a £1,000 welcome bonus. Plus, get access to all of our employee benefits, including:

* 25 days' holiday, increasing to 28 days’ after 5 years

* Your birthday off

* Flexible benefits package including matching up to 10% of your pension contributions, medical plans, and buying and selling holiday

* Huge discounts on everything from days out to household bills, including Virgin Media O2 products and services

…and loads more!

Next steps

If we feel like a place where you can belong, we'd love to learn more about you as a person and your experience to date. Once you've submitted an application the next steps of the process, if successful, are likely to include an online test, a telephone interview, a coaching call and an assessment centre. When you apply, you'll be asked about any adjustments you might need to support the recruitment process. Let us know, and we'll be sure to discuss it with you. Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert, therefore we may bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. If you’re offered a job with us, it will be conditional, based on the passing of background checks. All roles require a criminal record check and some roles need a financial probity check. Your recruiter can provide you with more information if needed. Thanks for your patience and for showing an interest in joining the Virgin Media O2 family.
