About you

Enabling the digital world offers enormous scope to develop your career beyond traditional ideas of progression or promotion. Enabling is always evolving. We are looking for someone who is adaptable, curious and eager to learn; someone who can embrace new technologies, including AI, build strong working relationships, and use critical thinking and creativity to solve problems and make a positive impact.

We want to hear from enthusiastic individuals who are currently studying for a degree in Accounting, Finance or similar subject and who:

• Are confident with basic maths functions, such as percentages

• Possess strong attention to detail
• Are well-organised and excel at time management
• Understand the importance of internal controls.

We think you will enjoy working at ASMPT because:

• Our culture is unique. Unlike many of our more corporate competitors, we strive to maintain a people-first, family-like culture that people appreciate and enjoy. It’s conducive to collaboration, to encouraging feedback and enabling innovation.
• It’s an exciting place to be. Ideas evolve in front of your eyes, and we are constantly pivoting and adapting to meet the needs of tomorrow’s technologies. The possibilities here are limitless, the opportunities are huge, and our culture is warm and friendly.
• Our people are some of the brightest experts around and everyone has a voice here. It’s a great place to be if you like to see your ideas turn into action, but we tend not to shout about it too loudly. You could say we are the tech sector’s best-kept secret!
