Job title: Finance Graduate
Location: UK flexible
At Johnson Matthey, your work will matter. As a Finance Graduate, you’ll join a world leader in platinum group metals with over 200 years of history and innovation. You’ll help tackle the world’s biggest challenges - cutting emissions, powering modern society and enhancing lives - as we continue to apply, refine and recycle metals that matter, for a healthier and more resilient future.
The role:
This is a three-year programme which includes rotations where you can develop highly transferable skills and competencies in transactional, operational and specialist Finance. Your rotations will take place across our London head office, our manufacturing and service hub in Royston and potentially our Lithuanian global business solutions hub.
We will also sponsor your academic qualification (either CIMA or ACCA) and we offer a highly competitive salary and bonus structure coupled with market leading benefits.
The programme is robust and challenging, but we believe strongly in mentoring and coaching partnerships, and you will receive plenty of support and career advice along the way.
No two career paths are the same; as part of this programme, you’ll forge a journey with JM that reflects your strengths, interests, and passion.
Graduates can select either ACCA or CIMA courses to gain an academic qualification.
JM will fund the following:
- 100% of the cost of the course plus all core texts and books
- Examination entry fees
- Paid study leave per module
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
