Bentley’s legendary history needs no retelling – we’ve been creating extraordinary customer journeys for more than a century. But what will Bentley’s future look like? And could you play a part in shaping it? A transformation is happening, evolution in real time, as we undertake our own extraordinary journey towards becoming the most sustainable luxury automotive brand in the world. This bold vision can’t happen without bright, fresh minds, innovators and disruptors, challengers of preconceptions. Could that be you? We seek motivated and digital-savvy individuals to join us on our journey, to help envision and shape Bentley’s future. If you are interested in building your career in Finance within an extraordinary company, this could be your moment. The perfect chance to make a difference.

EXTRAORDINARY GRADUATE PROGRAMME

The Bentley Graduate Programme is designed to give you a broad experience of the business. Working closely with technical experts, a community of peers and other trainees, you will spend your two years focusing on projects and tasks aligned to your home department’s objectives, while also gaining an understanding of the wider business processes and functions. We encourage Graduates to spend time learning how the product is built in our factory, whilst also recognising the route that a customer order takes to make it to the production line. At Bentley, we ensure everybody feels connected to our amazing products and services - and as an integral part of the team your input will be valued alongside every colleague.

In addition, you will be part of a community of over 150 trainees all working towards the same developmental goals. You will spend time developing your behaviours and project management skills through collaborative work with this community of trainees, from charity work and attraction activity to project management opportunities.

EXTRAORDINARY TEAM

To some companies, finance is used merely to determine what has happened. At Bentley we take a different approach, combining finance and our business strategy to deliver insights determining what is going to happen and help us shape the future. Growth, profitability, controlling and active risk management are all important elements of the work of the Finance teams.  Every department within the company has a finance ‘partner’, a role which involves gaining an in-depth knowledge of our products and how each function contributes, in order to fully understand the funding requirements and assist with long-term planning to maximise performance.

This Graduate will get the opportunity to work in different parts of our finance function. Developing a plan together with the sponsoring manager, you will develop your technical skills through a number of business placements alongside involvement in a range of activities designed to grow your behavioural competencies.
