Finance Management Trainee

Finance Management Trainee
         
Kickstart your career at the intersection of Finance, Data Science and IT — right where products are made.

If you’re the kind of graduate who gets equally excited about a P&L, a dataset, and experimenting with AI — this is your program.

We are a manufacturing company operating in the Consumer Health and Fast‑Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) space , and we are proud of the products we create every day — products that aim to reach billions of consumers worldwide and make a real difference in people’s lives.

Guided by Bayer’s mission “Health for all, hunger for none,” we are shaping the future of finance by combining business impact, technology and purpose .

In our 1.5–2 year Finance Management Trainee program , you will be based at one of our production facilities , close to our products and operations. Your home assignment sits in Product Supply Finance , complemented by ~50% rotations across Commercial Finance, Digital Finance and key stakeholders . This ensures you gain a true end‑to‑end understanding of how value is created, steered and transformed through data and technology.

This is not a traditional finance traineeship . It is on‑the‑job learning by design : you will apply newly acquired knowledge immediately, work on real business questions, and actively experiment with AI, analytics and emerging technologies in a manufacturing environment.

What you’ll do (your playground)

In Product Supply Finance, you will learn how a production facility operates and how shop‑floor reality is translated into financial insights that steer decisions.

You will:

- Partner closely with experienced Finance Business Partners on site , learning manufacturing finance hands‑on
- Translate production processes into numbers , connecting operational drivers to P&L, working capital and performance
- Actively identify opportunities for automation, analytics, self‑service reporting and AI‑enabled insights in day‑to‑day finance work
- Work with Bills of Materials (BOMs) to understand product costing and value drivers
- Collaborate on periodic reporting, planning and forecasting , together with central reporting and analytics partners
- Present financial results to site and stakeholder management, learning how to tell the story behind the numbers
- Support continuous improvement initiatives where finance, operations and efficiency come together

What you’ll learn (and why it’s a career accelerator)

- Combine finance logic, data thinking and technology to create tangible business impact
