Finance Internship

We may close for applications earlier than 15th November due to high volumes, however this programme will not close any earlier than 1st November 2026.

About this programme

TV shows. Apps. Big ideas.

Commissioning a TV show. Developing a new app. Key to decision making is the financial impact of these projects. That’s why our Finance team is at the very heart of everything we do at Sky.

Our Finance team:

• Set and track budgets
• Develop business cases to support projects and investment decisions
• Interpret data to provide insights
• Connect with teams across the business to meet and exceed our company targets.

Get in on the action. Experience what working in a dynamic, exciting environment is like. 

Get stuck into a fast-paced, 8-weeks internship where you’ll see how finance drives the action. You’ll work on real projects, learn from the pros, and get a taste of what it takes to become a qualified accountant.

Impress us, and you could land a full-time role after university — starting in 2028.

What you’ll be doing

Start by learning how finance powers the business — from big decisions to everyday spend. Then dive into a real project, team up with others, sharpen your problem-solving skills, and see how we work across Sky to make things happen. You’ll wrap it all up by presenting your ideas to senior leaders.

What we’re looking for

The one essential requirement is that you're currently studying for an undergraduate degree in any subject, and in your penultimate year.

Skills that will help you thrive:

• Bring fresh thinking to the table
• Strong financial mindset
• Confidence working with numbers and data
• Great at solving problems
• Know how to collaborate effectively across teams.

Right to work - Please be aware that Sky do not offer sponsorship for this role, employment is contingent on you having the valid right to work in the UK/Ireland for the full duration of the programme.

Following the internship, anyone who is selected for the Graduate programme offers will be conditional on having the full right to work in the UK/Ireland for the duration of the Graduate scheme.

Your application journey

Here’s what to expect, step by step:

Step 1 – Apply Online

• Tell us a bit about yourself — your details, your degree, and anything else you think we should know (like part-time jobs, volunteering, or cool projects you’ve worked on).
• Once you hit submit, keep an eye on your inbox (and your junk folder!) — we’ll send you a link to start your digital assessments.
• Please note, you can only apply to one programme per year.

Step 2 – Show us your skills

• You’ll complete two online assessments that help us get to know you better — how you think, what motivates you, how you might fit into the programme, and your numerical reasoning abilities.
• Don’t worry — you’ll get a chance to practice first, and we’ll send you tips to help you feel confident.
• We understand that you might want to utilise AI to support your preparation for taking the assessments – understanding Sky etc. But we ask that you complete the assessments themselves without the assistance of AI.

Step 3 – In person Assessment Centre

• If you make it to the final stage, we’ll invite you to an in-person assessment day.
• You’ll take part in tasks designed to show us how you think, solve problems, and work with others — all while getting a real feel for what it’s like to work in Finance at Sky.

We'll let you know when to expect a decision once the assessment day has taken place.
