At ABB, we have the clear goal of driving diversity and inclusion across all dimensions: gender, LGBTQ+, abilities, ethnicity and generations. Together, we are embarking on a journey where each and every one of us, individually and collectively, welcomes and celebrates individual differences.

As a Global Early Talent Program in Finance participant, you will get hands-on responsibility from the start. You will rapidly build your skills, network and experience through a series of exciting, cross-functional, cross-divisional, and international assignments. The exceptional people you work with, the challenging projects you tackle, and the global scale of our business will give the experience you need to build a world-class career in finance. For this particular position, you will be hired within the ELDS NAM team in Monterrey, Mexico. You will be reporting to the Local Division Controller. The program is made up of three assignments in different roles. 1) One six-month assignment in your home country as an introduction to the business. 2) One six-month assignment abroad to get an overview of ABB’s operations in a different environment/role and work on an exciting assignment with a different team, expanding your network. 3) One six to twelve-month assignment back to the home country/home business, where you will deepen your knowledge of the business and of your function. During the program we will take the participants on a leadership competency development journey. The last rotation will also be the time where the participants start to look for their final position, to be started after the end of the program. All program trainings are meant to build the foundations of your future career evolution.
