KOMPAN Graduate Programme - Finance

KOMPAN A/S 

Ready to get off the bench and onto the playground?

Are you ready to turn theory into action, roll up your sleeves and learn how financial decisions shape a global business? The KOMPAN Finance Graduate Programme is your training ground for a long-term career - with hands-on daily work, exciting projects and a front-row seat to how numbers turn into strategy.

You won't just observe from the sidelines. You'll jump in, rotate across the business and help steer smarter decisions that support growth, performance and long-term value - one playground at a time. 

 

A 2-year journey across the KOMPAN finance playground

The Finance Graduate track is a two-year rotational programme for recent university graduates, designed to help you develop strong financial expertise across HQ, Supply Chain and Sales.

Like any great playground, you'll explore different cornerstones of KOMPAN: 3 rotations, each 7 months long - building your confidence, analytical skills and business understanding across the full value chain. 

  • HQ Finance: working with financial planning, performance management, reporting, analysis and strategic decision support
  • Supply Chain Finance: understanding cost structures, margins, investments and how operations impact financial performance
  • Sales Finance: partnering with sales teams on pricing, profitability, forecasts and growth initiatives

Specific responsibilities will vary by rotation and be shaped by business needs, your aspirations and development, ensuring a steep learning curve and broad commercial exposure. However, you will be expected to get your hands dirty in the day-to-day operations, because we believe that's where strong finance professionals are built.

During each rotation, you'll complete a strategy-related business case, applying what you've learnt to real challenges. In your final months as a KOMPAN Graduate, you'll take on an end-point assessment - a business case tied to KOMPAN's strategy - testing how far you've come and giving back value to the company.
