Nordic Management Trainee Program
Do you have a commercial sense and a strong interest in Business Development, Marketing, and Sales? Are you eager to work with leading global brands in an international context? Join our Management Trainee program, get great responsibilities from the start and straight away learn more about our working culture: passion for innovation, diversity, result orientation, creativity, team-spirit and fast career paths.
OUR PROGRAM
During our 12-month program you will learn a lot and very quickly. You will have 2 to 3 rotations in different divisions/business units and/or functions and potentially in other Nordic countries as well.
For instance, the first rotation could be as a sales representative in our Consumer Product Division with Maybelline and Garnier products in your portfolio. Then you discover marketing within the Professional Products Division (Redken, Kerastase…) as a product manager responsible for the launch of a new brand on the Nordic Market. And why not finishing your program within Finance at the Luxury Product Division (Biotherm, Lancôme…)?
For each rotation you will be given a specific project with performance objectives and direct support from the management and HR.
You will rapidly build a wide and strong network within the company (for instance through mentorship) and not only at a country level. You will be part of the Nordic Management trainee community and network.
Thanks to this program, you will get the “big picture” and become an expert on one or many of the Nordic markets. You will be based in one of the Nordic capitals (Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo or Stockholm) but might have to travel on few occasions to other Nordic countries for some days or a full rotation.
Let’s be honest. This program is challenging: you need to adapt constantly to different environments (fast growing ones) and different ways of working in a short time frame. Indeed our objective is to prepare you for a successful and challenging career within the Group. That is why you will receive a permanent contract from the start even if the program itself is 12 months long.
