Description

29 years ago, easyJet broke the mould of the aviation industry, introducing low fares and making travel easy and affordable for everyone. Now it’s your turn to challenge the status quo and help us as we look to become Europe’s #1 airline and continue our push to Net Zero – ensuring that your career takes off in the process.

We aim to create the next generation of easyJet finance leaders through an accelerated three-year programme designed to give graduates unique exposure to a range of Finance functions and disciplines while studying towards an accountancy qualification. Working within a collaborative, inclusive and dynamic Finance team, graduates are able to thrive and grow their careers while making a real impact and contributing to easyJet’s success from day one.

You’ll then start three 12-month placements that give relevant, on-the-job experience across, but not limited to:

1. Financial Control

We’ll also support you through your studies towards the professional qualification of your choice (CIMA).
