Kick-start your career with an international business!

Are you a recent graduate or currently completing your degree? Ambitious, commercially minded and interested in developing a career in international business?

We're working with a well-established, rapidly growing international organisation looking for talented graduates to join its Graduate Leadership Programme in Milan.

Operating across 19 countries with approximately 3,000 employees, the business provides innovative solutions across mobility, technology, fleet management, telecommunications and business services.

With ambitious international growth plans, the company is investing in the next generation of business leaders.

This is not your typical graduate position. Rather than being restricted to one department, you'll gain practical experience across different areas of the business, develop your commercial understanding and build the skills needed to progress into future management and leadership roles.

What does the programme involve?

Over three years, you'll have the opportunity to experience different business functions, potentially including:

- Sales & Business Development – Understanding how businesses grow, develop customer relationships and generate revenue.
- Marketing – Supporting commercial campaigns, market analysis and customer engagement strategies.
- Account Management – Learning how to build and maintain long-term client relationships.




- Operations – Understanding how an international business operates and delivers services.
- Technology & Data Analytics – Exploring how technology, data and innovation support commercial decision-making.
- Business Strategy & Project Management – Contributing to projects and initiatives that support business growth.

Throughout the programme, you'll work alongside experienced professionals, receive structured training and mentoring, and gradually take on greater responsibility.

There may also be opportunities to gain international experience across other European offices.

Who are we looking for?

We're interested in graduates from a variety of academic backgrounds, particularly:

- Business Administration & Management
- International Business
- Marketing & Communications
- Economics & Finance
- Sales & Commercial Management
- Technology, Data Analytics and related disciplines

More importantly, we're looking for individuals who demonstrate:

- A genuine interest in business, commercial operations and leadership.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- An analytical mindset and willingness to solve problems.
- Curiosity, initiative and a desire to learn.
- Confidence working with different teams and stakeholders.
- Adaptability and an interest in international business.
- The ambition to develop into a future manager or business leader.





Previous full-time professional experience is not essential. Internships, tempo parziale employment, student projects or other practical experience will be considered positively.

Good English communication skills are important, alongside Italian language proficiency for the Milan location. Any other languages are an advantage, although not essential.

What can you expect?

- Starting salary of €30,000 gross per annum.
- A structured three-year development programme.
- Exposure to multiple departments and business functions.
- Training, mentoring and ongoing professional development.
