Finance Graduate

Join our Finance Graduate Programme 

Our graduate programme is anchored in Group Finance at Carlsberg’s global headquarters in Copenhagen. Across three exciting rotations over two years, you will explore the breadth of a truly international finance function. You will build hands-on expertise in the finance disciplines that shape Carlsberg’s performance. The first two rotations will immerse you in Group Finance, collaborating across regions and markets, before your final rotation takes you into a group-wide project or into one of our international markets.

Rotations will allow you to: 

• Collaborate with colleagues across Carlsberg’s global subsidiaries, regions, and headquarter functions
• Build a truly international network of talented and ambitious peers
• Gain hands-on experience with accounting practices that ensure Carlsberg’s financials are ready for both internal and external stakeholders
• Develop deep expertise in the Group’s key financial systems, processes, and internal controls
• Take part in preparing, analyzing, and interpreting financial reports that shape Carlsberg’s performance story
• Work side by side with senior management — both in day-to-day collaboration and on high-impact finance projects
• Contribute to strategic initiatives and assignments that drive the development of Group Finance
• Support finance operations in one of our subsidiaries or in our Service Centre, making a real impact from day one
