Early Careers program
The Early Careers Program is a full-time employment opportunity open for talented early career professionals who will become our future leaders. Operating in the FMCG industry means no two days are the same. The pace is fast, the work is diverse and the various functions need to work together to ensure our products delight our consumers and customers every day in Retail, Route Retail, Foodservice and industrial channels.
Our program runs for 18 – 24 months, and you will be supported every step of the way as you explore and learn about our business. You will gain valuable on-the-job experience, and get training across different functions which will give you true insight into how Goodman Fielder works.
At the end of the program, you will have a thorough understanding of the end-to-end operations of our business and how our functions work together to make everyday food better for everyone. Our supportive learning environment will provide you opportunities to grow and develop, setting you up for success in your future career at Goodman Fielder.

Current Grads' Stories
I have loved the opportunity to work across different functions and learn new skills from a variety of people.
The Early Careers Program has allowed me to listen, learn and contribute across a number of functions. It has given me the opportunity to pick up valuable skills along the way such as business analysis and building recommendations to support the development of key categories and brands.
The support received in the program made me feel immediately welcome and comfortable amongst my new colleagues. You have continuous support from your sponsor and manager, and you also have a mentor who you can ask any questions you may have, no matter how big or small.
