Sales graduate scheme| Graduate Programme

Learn, invent, and sell

Every year, our Sales teams sell 6.5 billion litres of premium spirits and beer in more than 180 countries. And by joining one of our Sales graduate schemes, you'll learn how it's all done.

Together with colleagues from all corners of the world, you'll create and push boundaries as you sell and promote timeless brands like Baileys, Guinness, Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff. Using consumer insight and digital platforms, you'll find them new reasons to be purchased, new places to be sold, and new generations of consumers to delight.

In an inclusive culture, you'll be celebrated for your contributions and get all the support you need to kick-start an exciting and rewarding Sales career.

Discover the full breadth

With the chance to work across brands and collaborate with people across regions, our graduate schemes are a brilliant chance for you to learn, gain valuable Sales experience, and create your own network of people from all over the world — from graduates to experienced professionals.

Throughout the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to work in different roles across our sales teams, experiencing everything from Account Management to Customer Marketing. You'll discover all you need to know about our brands, our competitors, the market, and our customers along the way.

Immerse yourself in the Sales process

From day one, you'll be immersed in the Sales process and make a real contribution to our business. You'll spend time building relationships with our partners and working with customers to maximise sales. You'll also promote our much-loved brands, so that they're readily available and well presented.

In other words, you'll not only get hands-on but also help shape the future of our brands and business by driving growth.

Be the best you can be

Whatever your role may be, you'll develop in a supportive environment and learn from some of the most talented Sales professionals in the industry. You'll be encouraged to voice your ideas and step outside your comfort zone, because that's how you learn and grow. You'll also enjoy an attractive reward and benefits package.

So, be you. Just come as you are, with your own ideas and ambitions, and let's celebrate your talent and empower you to reach your fullest potential.
