Graduate - Finance

We know that you – graduates and young professionals of today – are our key employees of tomorrow. As we work at the forefront of technology with today’s complex defence and security challenges, we need you in order to keep breaking boundaries for what is technically possible. So, do you have the potential and desire to become a future leader at Saab? Then we offer you Saab Graduate Leadership Programme. And even more important – give you the opportunity to become a leader of a safer tomorrow.

Your future challenge
As a Finance Trainee you will be based at our central Group Finance function. We will plan your graduate year together and the idea is for you to get a broader view of Saab and Finance while delivering excellent results. You will achieve this by rotating, participating in different projects and actively delivering on target to various units.
 After the graudate year, our intention is for you to receive an appropriate position in line with our business needs, your profile and future ambitions. This will be discussed with the CFO and the Finance Board. Project controlling and line controlling can be suitable paths as your career progresses. If you show us determination, ambition and deliver on target, we believe that you can become a Business Unit Controller, or similar, in the future.
You will probably work within a Business Area in Järfälla (Stockholm), Linköping or Göteborg.

For more than a year, you will participate in a programme that is uniquely designed to give you the right tools to boost your career.

Are you a future leader?
To be a successful Finance Trainee, you need a Master of Business Administration or similar and to be recently graduated or have approximately two years’ work experience. You thrive in a business-oriented environment and are passionate about creating financial value. It is important that you also are performance and action-driven, in other words, you act on fact!  
 As we are looking for future leaders, you must have the right motivation and drive to deliver excellent results. You must show potential for business understanding and strategic thinking. Good collaboration and communication skills are essential as well as the ability to motivate and involve your coworkers. You also need to be a curious and humble team player with commitment and a lot of energy. As Saab is a global company, you need an intercultural mind-set and, of course, great English skills. International experience will be to your advantage.
 Given all these qualities, being a graduate at Saab will give you great opportunities to develop. Your drive and determination, as well as your will to perform, will determine your exciting future with us.
