About this role
The daa Finance Graduate Programme is a three-year programme designed for ambitious entry level graduates who want to build a career at the heart of a dynamic, global business. You'll gain exposure to the key finance functions that help power one of Ireland's most important transport hubs, while working in a fast-paced environment where innovation, automation, and digital transformation are shaping the future of finance.
Graduates will join the Early Careers Community, a network of interns, apprentices, and second-year graduates, offering opportunities to learn, collaborate, and build professional connections across the business.
You will join our Finance team from day one and remain with the wider finance team throughout your graduate journey. This allows you to develop deep technical expertise, build strong stakeholder relationships, take ownership of meaningful projects, and see the impact of your work over time.

Working alongside experienced finance professionals, you'll gain exposure across areas such as Shared Services, Group Reporting, Forecasting, Budgeting, Tax, and Commercial Finance, contributing to projects that drive business performance and continuous improvement.
