About this programme

Do you want to be part of a finance team that influences key business decisions and be right at the heart of all the action? Dive right into exciting projects and learn on the job while studying for your CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) qualification.

Find out first-hand what it’s like to be a finance professional for a leading entertainment brand. Commercial Finance influences key business decisions. Support new product launches. Advise on whether we should invest in a new TV show or a game-changing piece of technology. Manage company-wide budgets and gain experience in our Corporate Finance team. And enjoy a collaborative, caring culture that helps us achieve brilliant things – with diversity and inclusion networks, paid volunteering days and a supportive graduate community. There’s only one place you’ll see action like this in your career – and that’s Sky.

What you’ll be doing

  • You’ll go on three, year-long placements, spanning the entire business. From content and channels to product development and technology, sales, and strategy. Plus, you’ll be financially supported to study for your CIMA qualification while gaining relevant experience – meaning that you’ll be able to join the world’s largest and leading professional body of Management Accountants.

  • Through your business rotations, you’ll learn how to set budgets and track against them, develop business cases to support projects and investment decisions, analyse data to provide key insight, and collaborate with teams across the business to meet and exceed our business targets.

  • You’ll have our full support to study for your CIMA qualification – with fully funded study and exam days and graduate committee guidance. At Sky your team will support you to make sure your exams can be your number one priority.

What we’re looking for

The one essential requirement is that you have or will be graduating soon. It doesn’t matter what your degree is in. We’re much more interested in your passion for numbers and the drive and ambition you can bring to the team.

Other skills we’re looking for include:

  • A problem-solver
  • Collaborative and great with people
  • A self-starter, eager to drive change in an exciting and dynamic environment

To be eligible for this role you are required to have the appropriate right to work in the UK by the start date of the programme. Please be aware Sky does not offer sponsorship for this programme.
