The strategies I implement for my costumer have an immediate impact on the ‘real’ world. Every time I visit a retailer store I can see the changes I worked with my customer.

What is the key learning from your current role?

That understanding both customer & shopper is crucial for success. The customer decides how he wants to support you and the consumer ultimately decides how relevant a product is. In order to be successful you need to understand both, which is accomplished through the multifunctional team setup at P&G.

Why did you chose P&G as an employer?

I always wanted to work in Finance/ Controlling but never liked the idea of purely juggling numbers without being in touch with the product, the market and the consumer. This is where P&G is different. Finance is seen as a business partner within multifunctional teams that provides financial leadership and drives value creation.

Due to frequent job rotations P&G promotes a great learning culture where you can constantly develop on a personal and professional level. As an Accounts Receivable Manager for instance I focus on managing external relationships while leading a great team of accounting clerks.

The culture of P&G is our backbone. I value most the great quality of people we work with and our strong values especially when it comes to trust into employees.

Finance Intern in Ffm

What is the thing you like the most at P&G?

As an intern at P&G, you do not assist in daily business, but you manage your own project. This implies full responsibility right from the beginning. I really appreciate that I can freely decide about all project-related topics and that I am the person in charge for any questions or feedback. At the same time, I can approach everybody in the company, no matter which level in hierarchy for support and coaching. It shows how P&G is both trusting and promoting its interns.
