Finance Management Trainee

Location: Cimanggis,West Java,Indonesia Department: General Administration & Corporate Services

Finance Management Trainee

Kickstart your career at the intersection of Finance, Data Science and IT — right where products are made.

If you’re the kind of graduate who gets equally excited about a P&L, a dataset, and experimenting with AI — this is your program.

We are a manufacturing company operating in the Consumer Health and Fast‑Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) space, and we are proud of the products we create every day — products that aim to reach billions of consumers worldwide and make a real difference in people’s lives.

Guided by Bayer’s mission “Health for all, hunger for none,” we are shaping the future of finance by combining business impact, technology and purpose.

In our 1.5–2 year Finance Management Trainee program, you will be based at one of our production facilities, close to our products and operations. Your home assignment sits in Product Supply Finance, complemented by ~50% rotations across Commercial Finance, Digital Finance and key stakeholders. This ensures you gain a true end‑to‑end understanding of how value is created, steered and transformed through data and technology.

This is not a traditional finance traineeship. It is on‑the‑job learning by design: you will apply newly acquired knowledge immediately, work on real business questions, and actively experiment with AI, analytics and emerging technologies in a manufacturing environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO (YOUR PLAYGROUND)

In Product Supply Finance, you will learn how a production facility operates and how shop‑floor reality is translated into financial insights that steer decisions.

You will

Partner closely with experienced Finance Business Partners on site, learning manufacturing finance hands‑on

Translate production processes into numbers, connecting operational drivers to P&L, working capital and performance

Actively identify opportunities for automation, analytics, self‑service reporting and AI‑enabled insights in day‑to‑day finance work

Understand how manufacturing performance flows into financial results in a Consumer Health / FMCG environment

Combine finance logic, data thinking and technology to create tangible business impact
