What other opportunities and benefits do Pfizer offer?

The Decision Support Finance Group has been participating in the Undergraduate scheme since the team was formed in 2011, and is an excellent place to gain first hand experience in what a career in Finance could look like.

We have had several Undergraduates return to the department as Pfizer Colleagues upon completing their degrees, demonstrating a proven track record in providing the necessary skills and knowledge to start a successful career in Finance.

There will be development opportunities to work on cross functional projects with colleagues across our 4 main centres (Memphis, San Jose, Dalian and Walton Oaks).

We have a dynamic Social Committee which will include Social events, Team Build events and Community volunteering days.

When can I start?

Formal Pfizer undergraduate placements will start on the 2nd September 2024 and will run for 12 months.

However, we will be asking our Finance Undergraduates to begin their role on 15th July 2024 so that we can undertake a handover with our outgoing undergraduates.
