Frucor Suntory is looking for a Finance Graduate to join us in 2024!

Thirsty work happens every day at Frucor Suntory – we are the distributor of some of Australia & New Zealand's most popular beverage brands after all. We make, market, and distribute a range of fruit juices, energy drinks, waters, and soft drinks, many of which are household names throughout New Zealand and Australia. Our brands include the iconic ‘V’ energy drink Fresh Up, Just Juice, McCoy, h2go, Mizone, NZ Natural, Pepsi Max, Ribena and the world-renowned Suntory Boss Coffee (just to name a few).

We’re proud to be a market leader in the beverage industry in Oceania, backed by our parent company Suntory, who are global leaders and innovators in the international beverage market. We are committed to leading positive change in the trans-Tasman beverage market, protecting resources and nurturing communities.

What’s on offer?

As a graduate at Frucor Suntory, you will be immersed in a two-year programme where you will gain real experience across a range of teams within our organisation, providing opportunities to stretch the way you think and put your studies into practice while connecting with incredible leaders; all with the aim of creating strong foundations to launch your career.

There is no average day at Frucor Suntory, so you’ll get to experience working in a dynamic environment and a truly innovative company who place their consumers at the centre of everything they do. 

As part of our graduate programme, you will have the opportunity to work in our Financial Control and Reporting, Supply Chain Commercial, Financial Planning and Analysis and Sales Commercial.

Frucor Suntory sets out to attract the best people, and we know that once we have great people on-board, we need to continuously develop their skill base and leadership mind-set. We are committed to your personal growth and to providing you with the tools necessary to further your career.

Are you up for it?

Here at Frucor Suntory, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and like to have fun, but we don’t shy away from a challenge, and neither should you. 

Our recipe for success includes the following ingredients:

  • Be in your final year of undergraduate degree and completing your qualification in 2023 in one of the following: BCom, BMS, BBus, or equivalent.
  • Be a dynamic person who thinks outside the box and is as passionate and hungry about making drinks better as much as we are
  • Demonstrated success of applying yourself to your studies and extra-curricular activities
  • Want to go places, so your ability to lead and influence people will be important
  • Have tonnes of initiative and not afraid to get stuck in and give things a go
  • Have the ability to apply what you have learnt to provide business opportunities
  • Have the ambition to study and obtain CA qualification

You’ll need to be completing your undergraduate qualification in 2023 to start in January 2024 and you’ll also need to be a New Zealand citizen or resident or hold a New Zealand work visa to be eligible.

At Frucor Suntory, we recognise that all life experiences equate to innovation. We welcome people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds, abilities (superpowers), ages, life stages, all sexualities, and all genders to apply to join the Frucor Suntory family. We are 100% proud of our people; we empower each other to go for it and make a difference together.

“What about the perks?” we hear you say…

In addition to being part of a great team, we offer flexible working arrangements, a day off on your birthday and learning and development opportunities that are hard to beat. Assistance is also provided as part of your CA studies through study leave, mentoring, and financial support.

When we’re not working from home, you can find us at our modern offices in Manukau (which is a great perk to beat that inner city commute), with plenty of onsite parking and complimentary fridges stocked full of our iconic beverages to keep you energised (BOSS Coffee or ‘V’ anyone?)!

I have been given many different responsibilities throughout rotations in raw materials, product development and science and regulatory affairs. Although I have worked on smaller improvement jobs I would love to continue to make my mark and for the company to benefit from my input

Pros and cons of working at Suntory Oceania

Pros

  • I really love the team culture and the support to be curious and to expand your knowledge all the time.

  • The opportunities I have been given have been incredible and I feel very lucky to be a part of such a great work environment.

  • The culture is great as everyone is very friendly. We also hang out outside of work socially which shows they're more than just your co-workers.

  • The flexibility with hours has been great.

  • Great Managers - they all want the best for you and look out for you. If you ask for it they will guide and push you to be the best you.

Cons

    • Lower than standard salary with annual pay reviews.

    • Maybe one thing would be the slight disconnect and miscommunication that comes with managing new and old processes.

    • The commute and traffic with offices being out in Manukau.

    • I lose track of overtime hours I have done and don't often take the time off that I am owed.

    • The hiring process was well communicated and engaging but it was a very long process.
