During this masterclass you’ll take away insights that will help you not just in P&G’s application process, but those of most big companies.

Speakers: Alex Carnegie-Brown (Sales Senior Director) and Rob Langthorp (Northern Europe Analytics & Insights) 

At P&G in the UK we’re proud to have delivered consistent and impressive business growth whilst navigating the external complexity of factors such as Brexit, covid and a turbulent geo-political environment. In this Masterclass, learn from P&G’s Senior Director Alex Carnegie-Brown and Northern Europe Analytics & Insights Rob Langthorp what it takes to grow a business through uncertainty. Being commercially aware means understanding the external factors that might impact the business in your chosen industry and is a core skill which lots of graduate employers look for.

We treat IT as a competitive advantage and we combine our technical capabilities (like automation, IoT, Data & Analytics, and AI) to solve real business problems, ensuring that we provide superior products to our consumers.
