2027 Strategic Finance Analytics Graduate Programme

Overview

The 2027 Strategic Finance Analytics Graduate Programme is hosted by Checkout.com at their headquarters in London, United Kingdom. Participants collaborate with experienced professionals to gain hands-on experience in digital payments and technology. The scheme includes technical training, workshops, networking events, mentoring, and social activities designed to foster growth and leadership potential.

Who can apply

Applicants must either be due to graduate in summer 2027 or have graduated within the last 12 months. Candidates need to hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a quantitative or business discipline, and must be available to work full-time while meeting local right-to-work requirements in the programme location. While prior knowledge of payments or finance is not mandatory, participants should have a strong analytical mindset, commercial curiosity, and strong communication skills. Familiarity with data tools, Python, or SQL is considered a plus.

What you get

Participants receive dedicated onboarding, payments-focused training, professional skills workshops, and leadership sessions. The programme also provides mentoring from experienced colleagues, networking events, and the chance to work on business-critical projects with regular feedback. Successful performance and readiness may lead to potential progression into a permanent role, subject to headcount availability and business requirements.

Requirements

Participants must work under a hybrid model that requires being in the office three days per week to support collaboration and connection. Throughout the programme, tasks may include analysing commercial and business performance, using AI tooling to build analytical workflows, and collaborating with Data Engineering and Data Science teams. Participants are also expected to craft executive-style deliverables, translate leadership requests into decision-ready insights, and drive continuous reporting improvements.
