Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Virgin Media O2?

It has been good, we are given a lot of opportunities to grow and develop.

What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?

The roles across the 3 years on the scheme are very different. In our first year we are in the management accounting team in Bradford and this is very process based. I had responsibility over the journals in my area and had to make sure that at month end everything ran smoothly. Second year is a finance business partner role and you work with multiple teams as a point of contact to then work with them to forecast and budget.

To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
