Strategy Graduate Scheme 

Ready to see what you can do? Join us as a Strategy Graduate and be brave, be real, and work together with us. Understand our business, and make an impact on it, all while widening your skills and earning £35,000 while you do it.  

Here’s what you’ll deliver 

Our graduate scheme lasts two years with the opportunity to work across a variety of strategic projects that touch all areas of the business including corporate strategy, commercial strategy, strategic planning and mergers & acquisitions. 

You will join the central strategy team that takes the lead in strategy formulation and identifies ways to achieve long-term goals, working with partners across our business and beyond. 

You could be evaluating the future shape of the industry, assessing the launch of new major products, developing a plan to invest in the future of our network, or investigating the pros and cons of acquiring another business. No two projects will be the same, but you will always be supported and mentored to develop your own leadership style, using your own passions and strengths.

Day-to-day responsibilities you could get involved in include:

  • Supporting the creation of board-level presentations and proposals 
  • Modelling and forecasting growth to establish commercial business cases
  • Identifying and formulating business plans to address key strategic opportunities 
  • Conducting analysis of market trends, competitors and potential disruption 

We operate a hybrid working environment, aiming for an average of 2 to 3 days per week in the office, with strong emphasis on maintaining flexibility based on our dynamic business needs. 

What we look for 

We are looking for graduates who can think about ambiguous business problems and take action to solve them. You should have confidence to showcase your analytical skills, digesting large amounts of information to develop clear insights and actionable recommendations.

You’ll use your communication skills to effectively engage with all audiences, including senior leaders. This role will have you working on a wide range of projects, so you should be adaptable and capable of managing and prioritising your workload. Other qualities we’d like to see include:

  • Motivation
  • Resilience
  • Growth mindset

You must have a 2:1 or above. But it doesn’t matter what subject – we’re more interested in your qualities than your specific qualifications.   

We’re 100% committed to having a workforce that represents every part of society. So, we’re keen to hear from candidates from all backgrounds and circumstances.  

What’s in it for you 

An opportunity to try out different roles across different departments, fast-tracking a route to your dream role. You’ll receive a salary of £35,000 plus a £2,000 welcome bonus. Plus, get access to all of our employee benefits, including: 

  • 25 days' holiday, increasing to 28 days’ after 5 years 
  • Flexible benefits package including pension, medical plans and buying and selling holiday 
  • Huge discounts on everything from days out to household bills…and loads more!
