Responsibility from day one
We understand how important it is to supply the right financial information at the right time and at ING we are always broadening our horizons. Our people have a forward-thinking mentality, a strong can-do spirit and enjoy working in an agile environment. Our Finance professionals operate as strategic advisors to senior management. The Finance track of the ITP puts you in the fast lane to becoming a specialist or a Finance manager in this vital business function; you’ll develop your financial knowledge and agility in a fast-paced environment where every decision counts.
Your journey: 2 years. 3 rotations.
Rotation 1: Your HR trainee manager will assist you in choosing your first rotation based on your own interest and learning goals. This rotation lasts approximately six months. For example, you could be involved in parts or all of the full Finance lifecycle. For example within Management Accounting, you can focus on performance metrics and KPIs. In Financial Accounting, you can focus on periodic financial reporting deliverables. In Regulatory Reporting, you can be involved in reporting specific results to local regulators. In Tax you can prepare specific federal and state tax returns. In Finance Transformation you can participate in the automation of various financial deliverables.
Rotation 2: With these new experiences and contacts, you are in charge of arranging your second rotation. In true ING spirit, you take it on and make it happen. We encourage it to gain international experience during this six-month period, which is not only great fun but also good for your personal and professional development.
Rotation 3 : After two rotations, you now have a better understanding of which direction you would like to go and are ready to choose your third rotation. Are you broadening your knowledge within your track, or would you like to explore a business area within another track? During your third rotation you’ll start networking for your fixed position. This permanent role lets you go deeper into the field Finance right from the start. You expand your knowledge and hone your skills, while working on your further development within a specific business line such as Management Accounting or perhaps you prefer to work at corporate level in Capital Management.
