Responsibilities

The Moody’s Sales Rotation Program is a two year rotation program experience that enables recent graduates to continue to develop their commercial skills while learning our business and identifying their preferred career path. The program consists of four 6-month rotations, in either New York or London (hybrid in the office 3 days/week in both locations). Assignments will provide you with exposure across various Moody’s OU’s (Operating Units)/LoB’s (Lines of Business), providing program participants with a broad set of experiences and opportunities within our firm. As participants progress through their rotations, they’ll build a solid foundation to become future leaders of the company.

Throughout the 2-year program experience, participants are encouraged to explore their assignment preferences and try new things in each of their rotations. These preferences are taken into account when final placements occur at the end of the two year program, along with the needs of our business. Participants develop their skills through classroom training, on-the-job learning, and by receiving structured feedback and support from local mentors and a dedicated Program Manager. Participants will enter the program together with a cohort, providing a community to connect with starting on their first day.

Rotation assignments vary in terms of the commercial and sales operational skills required, but participants will each have an assignment in Sales Operations, Customer Engagement/Client Support, Marketing, and Sales Development Representative (SDR) areas.
