Job Position: FINESSE - The Hilton EMEA Finance Graduate Development Programme
Job Number: EUR012G1
Schedule: Full-time
What is the aim of the Programme?
- The Finesse programme aims to develop a group of talented,
internationally mobile Finance people and fast track them to Finance
Director positions within 5-7 years of starting the Programme.
What will I do?
- Finesse consists of a 24-month training programme which
encompasses two international 12-month placements in our hotels. During
your placements, you will gain all-round Finance experience whilst
working in all the main Finance functions. You will also gain exposure
in the other key functional areas of Operations, Business Development
and Human Resources. You will participate in off-the-job training and
have business driven projects to complete. Following successful
completion of this 2 year programme you will then be assigned into a
full-time Finance role in year 3.
- During Finesse your progress is constantly assessed, so you
always know how you are developing. As the programme is so flexible, it
will take into account all training that you have had to date and build
on it, rather than making you repeat things unnecessarily.
Where will I be?
- The location of your placements will depend on availability and
could be anywhere within the Europe, Middle East and Africa region
(subject to Visa restrictions etc.)
When will I start?
- If you are successful you will start the programme on 1st September 2016.
Learning & Development:
- The key focus here will be for you to complete the CIMA
(Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) Professional Finance
qualification.
- During your 24-month training you will also take part in a
number of other face-to-face training courses focused on other business
competence areas.
- As a Finesse participant you will also have access to the Hilton
University, our on-line learning and development tool, through which
you can complete e-learning courses, learn a language on-line and make
use of our on-line business library.
- This is a highly regarded professional qualification with global
recognition in the Finance profession. This process will be supported
by Hilton in terms of both funding and learning support.
- The CIMA qualification typically takes 3 years to complete, so
this will be completed during your first 2 placements and then completed
in your 3rd year whilst working full-time within one of our hotel
operations.
Support all the Way:
- Finesse participants are supported throughout their career
progression with the Finesse Mentoring Programme where senior managers
within Hilton take on the role of Mentors.
Are you someone who is Smart? Passionate? Ambitious?
- These are the questions that we ask any potential candidate before they apply to the Finesse Programme.
