International Commercial Graduate

Join our International Commercial Graduate Programme

The International Commercial Graduate Programme is a steppingstone for young talents with Commercial background who are ambitious about their career and interested in international experience.
The International Commercial Graduate Programme consists of 3 rotations where one of them will be a project rotation abroad. Depending on the project, this rotation will be 6-8 months. Below you can read more about the content of each rotation.

• Marketing rotation: In the marketing rotation, you will be supporting the development of brand strategies and plans for how to develop and win new markets, customers and consumers. You will be supporting implementation of global initiatives in the local markets and follow up on results. This is your chance to work with some of our iconic brands such as Carlsberg, Tuborg, Brooklyn, Kronenbourg, Sommersby and many more.
• Commercial rotation: In this rotation, you will be assigned to one of our commercial teams, which includes Digital Marketing, Sales Excellence, Commercial Insights, Value Management and commercial business units. The purpose is to gain understanding on how enablers work as an integrated part of executing a strategy and how you will be supporting the sales function in developing current and new business opportunities in the local markets, meeting with customers and partners in order to grow profit and brand equity.   
• Project rotation: In your project rotation abroad, you will be responsible for implementing a specific project locally or supporting a local company with implementing market/brand strategies and plans. This rotation is developed together with you but depends on current projects and possibilities in our local markets.
