Your programme is tailored to you and your personal development and will include a combination of behavioural and technical modules and placements. Our programme is designed to bring out the best in you, helping you find the career path that’s right for you.

In partnership with Global IT, our Corporate IT Team is responsible for delivering improved services and innovative technical solutions to the ScottishPower businesses. This is a dynamic, challenging and exciting environment and we want people who’re up for the challenge to join our team. Our IT department contains a broad range of critical functions, and our IT Office is one of the most diverse. We’re made up of finance, project management office, practise management and vendor management; we’re the glue that keeps the IT function running efficiently. And this year, we’re looking for graduates with Business or Accounting as part of their degree to drive our business forward as we strive to optimise our processes through increased efficiency and automation.

As expert stakeholder managers, our team manage multiple workstreams to provide monthly financial results, budgeting, forecasting business plans and investment analysis within the finance function. Within the vendor management office, we provide vendor management strategies and support on contract renewals, while our project management office supports management of IT demand and resource management to enable best practice. With digitalisation driving efficiencies and creating a focus on real value add activities, we’re constantly evolving our processes and the tools we use.

You’ll support the team in day-to-day finance activities, and you’ll have the opportunity to introduce digital change and work with customers both locally and globally to enable improved satisfaction. We need graduates who are flexible, adaptable and who are wired to generate change.

We want to hear from you if you have, or expect to achieve, an Honours Degree (or equivalent) at a minimum of 2:2 in a Business and IT related degree, or similar. If you also happen to speak a foreign language, even better.
