The role

Finance Management Junior (Hybrid Finance × Data × Business) - Product Supply

Kickstart your career at the intersection of Finance, Data Science and IT - right where products are made.

If you're the kind of graduate who gets equally excited about a P&L, a dataset, and experimenting with AI - this is your program.

We are a manufacturing company operating in the Consumer Health and Fast‑Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) space, and we are proud of the products we create every day - products that aim to reach billions of consumers worldwide and make a real difference in people's lives.

Guided by Bayer's mission "Health for all, hunger for none," we are shaping the future of finance by combining business impact, technology and purpose.

In our 1.5-2 year Finance Management Trainee program, you will be based at one of our production facilities, close to our products and operations. Your home assignment sits in Product Supply Finance, complemented by ~50% rotations across Commercial Finance, Digital Finance and key stakeholders. This ensures you gain a true end‑to‑end understanding of how value is created, steered and transformed through data and technology.

This is not a traditional finance traineeship. It is on‑the‑job learning by design: you will apply newly acquired knowledge immediately, work on real business questions, and actively experiment with AI, analytics and emerging technologies in a manufacturing environment.

What you'll do

In Product Supply Finance, you will learn how a production facility operates and how shop‑floor reality is translated into financial insights that steer decisions.

You will:

  • Partner closely with experienced Finance Business Partners on site, learning manufacturing finance hands‑on
  • Translate production processes into numbers, connecting operational drivers to P&L, working capital and performance
  • Actively identify opportunities for automation, analytics, self‑service reporting and AI‑enabled insights in day‑to‑day finance work
  • Work with Bills of Materials (BOMs) to understand product costing and value drivers
  • Collaborate on periodic reporting, planning and forecasting, together with central reporting and analytics partners
  • Present financial results to site and stakeholder management, learning how to tell the story behind the numbers
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives where finance, operations and efficiency come together

How you'll work

Full Time

Your 1.5-2 year journey

~50% Product Supply Finance (home base at the production site)

Build strong fundamentals in manufacturing and supply finance, staying close to our products and operations.

~50% Rotations (Commercial Finance, Digital Finance & stakeholders)

Broaden your perspective across the business, understanding how commercial decisions, digital solutions and finance jointly drive performance.

What you'll learn (and why it's a career accelerator)

By the end of the program, you will:

  • Understand how manufacturing performance flows into financial results in a Consumer Health / FMCG environment
  • Combine finance logic, data thinking and technology to create tangible business impact
  • Understand enterprise E2E supply chain management
  • Confidently engage with finance and non‑finance stakeholders, including production and management teams
  • Build a strong foundation for future roles across Product Supply Finance, Commercial Finance, Digital Finance or project‑driven teams
