Do you want to be part of H&M’s global expansion while working within the intersection between business and IT? Every year we hire a few selected candidates to our IT Trainee Program aiming to develop future leaders and experts. We are looking for you who have a big interest in how IT can create the best experience for our customers!
THE PROGRAM
As one of our H&M IT trainees you will participate in a program lasting 11 months starting in August 2018; where you will work close together with the other trainees during the duration of the program. The trainee program is cross-functional with focus on our business processes and IT solutions within sales, logistics, online and change management. This gives you a solid foundation in how we at H&M run innovative global projects from both a Business and IT perspective.
The program consists of a mixture of training and projects with the purpose of providing you with hands-on experience from several key business areas. In addition to training in our business processes, applications and ERP solutions (SAP) you will also get a broad introduction to H&M, our values and how we work with feedback and project methodology. To get insight into our core business you will work in our stores and warehouses as well as in other areas of H&M’s dynamic organization.
YOUR OPPORTUNITIES
We offer a trainee program where every day is an adventure, where only you set the limits to your career possibilities, and where your personal growth and development is just as important as our business.
The trainee program places high demands on you but in return we can guarantee you an exciting and challenging job where you are expected to take on great responsibility. You will soon lead workshops and meetings and be responsible for deliveries to roll out or develop solutions within your focus area. To guide you in your personal development you will be assigned a mentor. Through the program you will also gain a great network within our company; meeting and working with different key persons in our organization. On top of this you and your trainee colleagues will become a close-knitted group from which you will benefit throughout your entire H&M career.
After graduation, you will be ready for a leading and/or expert role such as Business Expert, Application Expert, Team Lead or Project Manager. Regardless of role, you will be working in the intersection between business and IT; and become an ambassador for the cross functional aspects.
H&M is one of the world’s largest fashion companies – and an exciting place to pursue a career. With more stores, new brands and markets added every year, the group is constantly growing; are you ready to take on the challenge as our future leader or expert?
