About our Finance Traineeship

As a finance trainee at FrieslandCampina you will constantly be challenged. In a two-year program you will get the opportunity to work on two assignments within different areas of finance. On the one hand, you can work in our financial shared services, located in Budapest and Kuala Lumpur, in which operational financial activities are being performed. On the other hand, you will have the possibility to work in a role in which you discover factors driving the business and explore in which direction the company should go to create more value. 

This is your chance to develop yourself in a broader field and help decide where you want to end up in our company. As a corporate trainee you therefore are proactive and eager to learn and develop.

Matthias, Finance trainee

"•My interest was mainly piqued by the fact that FrieslandCampina is a large company operating internationally. Additionally, the company structure is also very unique and interesting, which led me to consider it a great company to work for. The traineeship within FrieslandCampina specifically caught my attention because it seemed like a great opportunity to learn both professionally and personally." - Matthias, Finance trainee

Examples of assignments

Commercial Controller 
As a commercial controller you will have two roles. First, you have the financial perspective, where FrieslandCampina expects you to be in control of the financials. This means understanding everything related to finance such as, the costs, profits, KPI's, cash flows, balance posts, overdues and translating this to understandable insights. Second, as commercial controller you work with marketing and sales departments on a daily basis. In this role, you are expected to be the financial business partner by providing strong financial insights, but also to challenge your marketing and sales colleagues to make the right decisions. The combination of these two parts makes it a diverse, analytical and challenging role.

Corporate Strategy
In a fast-paced environment, you will work closely with our team of a Strategy Director and Strategy Manager(s) and will support all strategic processes by focusing on e.g. gathering inputs from stakeholders, data analysis, business insights generation, creation and presentation of management presentations, etc.  Working with the Strategy Director, the trainee will have opportunities to gain exposure to Senior Management (ELT/EB). ​

It is a fantastic learning opportunity with exposure to critical decisions to be made by the company across BGs, disciplines and higher management. Typical projects report into the EB or ELT. Numerous big overarching topics are on the Strategy agenda to address over the coming period, and dependent on timing also involvement in any M&A developments.​
