You’ll be in a unique position to connect, socialise and build relationships with a network of talented people across all levels of the organisation that will benefit you throughout your career.

At Glanbia, we see diversity as a strength to be celebrated. We treat every single member of the team with respect, regardless of age, background, race, religion, gender or sexuality.

Happy, healthy employees are those with a strong work-life balance and we continuously strive to deliver initiatives that improve the working environment. There are tons of opportunities to find a balance in a calendar packed with social activities, sporting events, wellness programmes and corporate responsibility initiatives.

Jack Murphy, Business Intelligence Associate, Global Technology Centre, Kilkenny I joined the Glanbia Finance Centre of Excellence (CoE) in September 2017. At the turn of the year, I was given the opportunity to move to the Business Intelligence and Data Analytics CoE where I’m now part of the Integrated Planning team. We create, build and maintain planning solutions for business units across all of Glanbia. Providing these innovations and insights for global teams is both challenging and rewarding.

One of the best things about the graduate programme is the people you meet. Glanbia strive to get the work-life balance right and there are countless social events throughout the year.

You’ll expand your network of friends as well as colleagues and that has been my favourite aspect of the programme so far.
