The Finance MBA Associate Development Program has been in place for over 30 years, recruiting top MBA candidates for dynamic careers in Finance.  As part of the program, a Finance Associate will have the opportunity to build a breadth of finance experience across the company by completing 4 six-month rotations.

Finance Associates are part of a dynamic learning environment that provides high visibility to senior management and enables Finance Associates to organically build both mentoring relationships with managers and peers and a strong alumni network within the company. This internship will provide a representative experience of that rotational program and serves as a direct feeder into the full-time program. After completing the two-year rotational program, Finance Associates will transition to full-time non-rotational positions within BMS Finance, well-positioned to progress a career in finance at BMS.

• Internships will be condensed versions of full-time rotations, designed to fit the summer timeframe.
• Assignments include but are not limited to: development of operating budgets, R&D portfolio allocation, financial forecasting for compounds in development, financial analysis of operating performance and return on capital expenditures. 
• Associates also have the opportunity to work on a specific brand where they team up with marketing to manage the brand P&L and develop strategic initiatives for growing the business.
