Job Description

Do you aspire to be part of the innovation and technological advancement of a business behind brands like Gillette, Pampers, Head & Shoulders and Oral-B? Want to work for a company consistently recognised as one of the UK’s leading graduate employers?

Then apply for an industrial placement in Information Technology (IT) at P&G, where business, innovation and technology come together to create a competitive advantage.

IT underpins every area of our competitive advantage and every stage of the journey to develop, manufacture, market, and ship market-leading products. A career in IT at P&G will allow you to build experience across areas such as Application Development & Management, Marketing Technology, Data & Analytics, and IT Security & Risk. You will also build crucial business non-technical skills in leadership, communication, influencing and change management.

What To Expect:

During your industrial placement, you will get real responsibility from day one and be expected to dive straight in, take ownership of real projects and lead them to completion. You will see your projects deliver real business value and you will see growth in your own technical mastery, confidence, and communication and leadership skills.  You will also receive first-hand experience of what a career in IT within a large corporate environment like P&G involves and find out if it is right for you.

Each intern receives a customized learning plan to ensure they get the right levels of coaching, mentoring and training as they deliver their work.

Previous IT internship projects have delivered: New chatbot capability for consumers; automatic camera recognition of safety breaches in manufacturing; machine learning to automate sales processes; project management of roll-out of EV chargers, and many more.

So, if you are looking for an exciting and challenging experience, have a passion for winning, strong leadership credentials and an interest in pursuing a career at P&G – this placement is for you!

Placements are available in our offices in Newcastle (Longbenton) and Weybridge (an easy commute from London with regular trains from Waterloo & Clapham Junction and a free shuttle bus from the station to the office). A limited number of placements may also be available in Manufacturing sites, typically our London Plant (West Thurrock, Essex).

What You Will Gain:

Responsibilities and Real Work from Day 1:  You will be given specific projects and responsibilities working on real and live business challenges, just like a true P&Ger.

Continuous Training & Coaching:  You will work with passionate people and receive both formal training and day-to-day mentoring from your manager. You will also have a Coach and a “Buddy” assigned to support you for the duration of the internship.

Competitive Compensation & Benefits:  This is a paid internship; the monthly salary for this role is £2,333.33. On top of this, you’ll enjoy lots of benefits like the option to enrol in our double-matched pension, discounted P&G products, perks and flexible working arrangements. To find more information about our benefits package take a look here.

Full-time Role:  Successful interns have the potential to secure a full-time position with P&G after graduation. As a 'build from within' company, our people start at entry level and progress through the organization. When we make a job offer, it’s with the expectation that you will grow into one of our future leaders, and to help you get there, you will work closely with skilled P&G veterans for mentoring and coaching at every step.

Job Qualifications

What We Look For:

University students graduating in 2027 with a placement year as part of their degree. We also welcome applications from students graduating in 2025 or 2026.

IT Interest - We welcome anyone aiming to start a career built around applying technology to business problems. Many of you will be Computer Science students, but we also welcome anyone with a STEM background and a genuine interest in technology.

Right to Work:

For our placement roles, you will need to provide your own right to work in the UK for the full duration of your placement without requiring sponsorship from P&G. Note, this will require your right to work permission to be valid between 1st July 2025 to 12th June 2026 for a minimum of 37.5 per week.

P&G is legally required to ensure all candidates have the right to work in the UK from Day 1 of their employment. All applicants will therefore be asked to provide evidence of their right to work at the conclusion of the recruitment process as a condition of employment.
