The challenge: tough. The prize: huge.
There are some things you have to experience yourself to understand. That’s why we asked people who have been through the Finance Excellence Program (FEP) to tell us about their experience. It has already helped many colleagues in their finance careers at Team Siemens. Find out what our successful associates and alums have to say.
The most important thing I have gained is a widespread network within the Siemens ecosystem and the opportunity to explore diverse roles.

What might your assignments look like? Here is one example:
Where I come from:
I studied Business Administration with a major in accounting in France and worked for six years as a Financial and Operational Auditor in France, Luxembourg, and the UK.
Pursuing an MBA was a way for me to leap into leadership roles. The Finance Excellence Program is the perfect continuation and is helping me to get there!
How the Finance Excellence Program supports me on this path:
In the first of my three assignments, I am a project lead supporting the international expansion of Comfy. This has been a captivating experience that enabled me to learn about a new business model, namely Software as a Service (SaaS), while understanding how Siemens integrates these new models into the core activities of its Smart Infrastructure Business.
Ready to start?
In sports, talent and favorable starting conditions help, but what really matters is willpower and perseverance. The Finance Excellence Program (FEP) is no different. If you think you meet our requirements and want to accept the challenge, we look forward to receiving your application.

The Finance Excellence Program is a global program and we want to show the ample opportunities Siemens can make available to you. We’ll identify opportunities across the globe, in any of the 190 countries in which we operate. At least one assignment will take you to Germany to give you an understanding of our business networks from the perspective of our headquarters. After the program, you will have plenty of opportunities across the globe. In the past, participants have found themselves in places like China, South Africa, Brazil, the US and Russia.
During the course of the program you will be provided with global training, mentoring and individual coaching opportunities. We’ve specifically designed a training program for Finance Excellence Program participants which covers leadership and finance-related topics. In addition, you’re invited to attend language immersion classes to prepare you for assignments abroad. This includes German language classes at the start of the program. One of our finance executives will mentor you throughout your time with us.

This service includes a visa/ work permit in the specific country you will be working in. This way, you can fully concentrate on your onboarding process without having to worry about any bureaucratic issues.
