Requirements

  • A degree (or due to complete this by September 2024). We’re open to a wide range of vocational disciplines such as Business and Marketing, but equally we’d be open to academic disciplines such as History, English, Politics and Philosophy.
  • Be able to start in the business full time on 2nd September 2024.
  • Speak fluently in English (minimum B2 level). A second European language would be beneficial.
  • Hold the relevant right to work within the UK and/or Europe.
  • Be fully flexible and geographically mobile as the second placement will take place internationally.

Responsibilities

  • Initially based in our swish new offices in Paddington, London, you’ll begin the programme within the Category Management team where you’ll support the Marketing Manager with market analysis and opportunity, category performance, marketing account plans and product value propositions.
  • Your second placement will take place in another marketing function. This could be spent in the Marketing Communications and Digital Marketing teams, where you develop skills and experience in B2B marketing content creation, marketing plan development and digital execution and reporting. Or it could be in Product Management where you’ll support the Product Innovation Manager with managing key marketing projects, cross functional alignment, product development, sales strategies, sales collateral and value proposition. This second placement could offer graduates an opportunity to live and work internationally in one of our European sites.
  • Development:
  • Alongside your on-the-job training, you’ll go on the DS Smith Graduate Journey where you’ll have a roadmap of development to support your career. When you join us, you’ll be given a full induction to the business, including a tour of some of our paper, packaging, and innovation factories.
  • In year one, you’ll learn about Self Leadership and Personal Effectiveness, while in year two, you’ll learn about leadership, stakeholder management and influencing. Finally, when the programme ends, you’ll deliver a presentation about your learnings, celebrate your success with a graduation dinner and work with your Talent Lead to find the best permanent home for you.
  • But don’t worry, you won’t be doing this alone. You’ll have a network of graduates to bounce ideas off, be given a mentor and a former graduate will be there for guidance and support throughout your journey.
