Job Title: Finance Graduate Development Programme
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 2015.
Learning & Development: The
key focus here will be for you to complete the CIMA (Chartered
Institute of Management Accountants) Professional Finance qualification.
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. 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.
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.
There are other key criteria for the Finesse Programme: • You must have a Bachelors Degree or equivalent in a Finance, Accounting or related subject by September 2014
• You must speak, read and write English fluently
