Graduate Management Opportunity
Location: Maidenhead
"Hi, I’m Dan UK Managing Director and I am looking for graduates wanting to make their next step from an established role to a fast-track management opportunity and to come and be part of our award- winning team."
We’re now accepting applications for our ILM (Institute of leadership and Management) Assured Leadership Academy Programme, looking for talent to grow the business not just here in the UK but aboard too.
We’re not a large blue-chip organisation, but the clients we work for are (in fact some are the biggest in the world).
What we are, is the market leader, the best at what we do globally and always planning for the future (over half of our senior leadership team are under 35 years old!).
We have a number of great success stories here at MCFT where our graduates have excelled quickly with their personal and professional development. Service Desk to Director in 5 years, are you up to the challenge? George certainly was - who’s now our Regional Director of the UAE having joined us as a graduate in 2012. Max, who joined us an intern and came back as an assistant manager and now heads up the Business Intelligence Team leading the way in Power BI to name just two of the alumni team.
What you’ll contribute:
You’ll be given responsibility from day-one, and you’ll have to develop fast.
You’ll be an invaluable part of our team; workload will vary, and no two days will ever feel the same.
You will have full ownership of your own projects as well as still contributing to the bottom line.
Energy, enthusiasm and fresh thinking, we’re fully open to your ideas. Working within an SME you will be expected to make an impact!
Progression:
A structured two-year programme that will result in you becoming a manager here in the UK or abroad (The Gulf or Europe).
The first year will be for you to understand the MCFT way, gain experience in a variety of business areas and signal your intent to work hard, roll your sleeves up and demonstrate your potential to become a senior leader.
Year two we will map out your personal pathway of development by enrolling you onto our MCFT Leadership Academy, involving rapid progression to management either in the UK or abroad - we currently have offices in Dubai, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, all of which are being managed by alumni of our Leadership Academy, and this month we have opened for business in the Netherlands.
We’ll provide you with constructive feedback and nurture your career growth, and with support from a mentor put you on the path to becoming a future leader at MCFT.
