International Finance
Our International Talent Scheme is unique in offering experience across Europe, senior-level exposure, insights into many different businesses and the potential to develop into future industry leaders. If you have an interest in business and finance, this is a chance to gain a spectrum of international experience few other schemes could offer.
Who is it for?
This is not an easy option. Nor is it one exclusive to those with accountancy skills. We’re looking for people with real numeric, analytical and academic rigour – with evidence of extensive higher learning (such as a Master’s or a professional qualification), whether that’s in Science, Maths or Finance. As we said earlier, we’re also looking for people with the mobility and language skills to settle in several different countries. So, you’ll need to be proficient to a business level in either French, German or Italian (as well as English).
Why join EDF Group?
EDF Group is one of Europe’s leading energy companies. We boast not only a global presence, but also recognised expertise in every part of the energy cycle – from generation through to supply – and in all types of energy, including hydroelectric, nuclear and thermal. In other words, the scheme is a chance to see an industry, in its entirety, from a global perspective.
Why join Finance?
Energy is a sector that presents considerable financial challenges: continuous growth, a wave of mergers and acquisitions, new energy breakthroughs, and the regeneration of the nuclear industry. What’s more, the multiple challenges of reducing emissions, keeping energy prices competitive and raising money to invest in technologies is a delicate balancing act.
As part of our Finance function, you will need to be the one to balance it. You’ll also be expected to spot synergies, offer improvements and bring our businesses together on a European scale.
