Become part of a team dedicated to financial stewardship, enabling business performance, and paving the way for a secure future for generations to come.

Role Overview:

The Accounting and Finance Leadership Program (AFLP) is a fast-track opportunity for high-potential individuals seeking a dynamic career in finance. Participants will gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and comprehensive training to develop the skills necessary for leadership roles.

Through rotational assignments, participants will gain broad exposure across the enterprise — including corporate finance, insurance, and investments — while building both technical and strategic finance skills. The program emphasizes continuous growth and development, offering formal training, dedicated mentorship, and visibility to senior leadership. Participants will also build a strong professional network and gain the tools to think critically, lead confidently, and contribute to a finance organization that is agile, data-informed, and innovation-driven.

You’ll build reports, analyze data trends, and deliver insights that inform sourcing strategies and business decisions. You will also support our Procurement team in the process of sourcing and onboarding new suppliers.

Future rotations will expand your exposure across finance functions, helping you build the analytical and leadership skills needed in a data- and AI-informed finance organization.

What You’ll Bring:

• Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
• Ability to prioritize and multitask in a fast-paced environment
