Join us to create a career worth celebrating.

Our graduate programmes put you at the heart of a global business, with hands‑on experience and tailored learning for curious, driven minds. Start your journey to a career you'll be proud of today.

The D&T function plays a pivotal role in supporting Diageo's long‑term vision by maximising data and digital technology to transform our business and put us one step ahead of the competition - whether that be working directly with our markets to implement new systems and capabilities or working with our Analytics and Insights team to help predict future industry trends.

Over the three‑year rotational programme, you'll have an opportunity to gain experience in various specialisms within D&T whilst developing your leadership skills.

You could be working in:

• Strategic Planning - Either as a strategic Business Partner, or as a systems guru, you'll be working with leaders across our different business functions and geographies to craft our technology roadmaps of the future - think big and think ahead! This is the forward‑looking team that will keep us ahead of the competition.
• Technology Transformation - Supporting the implementation of world‑leading technology solutions across Diageo - from the implementation of cutting‑edge capabilities that drive point of sale across outlets, to the simplification and automatization of our technology infrastructure.
• Project & Change Management - Creating and delivering a portfolio of strategic projects that support the D&T transformation agenda. Working within an extended agile team, you will have experience and exposure to industry best practice in project management and change readiness.
• Cyber Security - Protecting Diageo's intellectual property from external hackers - either by developing internal capability and cyber resilience - or, supporting crisis management during an attack.
• Employee Experience - Working on the front line on new systems and technology deployment on‑site to ensure a seamless employee experience.
• Data Science/Visualization - You will understand the function you partner, translating their everyday experience into a business problem, a testable hypothesis and in the end, a solution. With quantitative analysis, data mining and visualization you will be the one providing the insights that move our business forward!
• Data Engineering - The backbone of our analytics products is the clean, optimised data that our product managers and project teams use to build tools and solutions for our business problems. Designing, building, and maintaining data processing systems makes sure we use data in an efficient way, and you'll be successful if you're comfortable around code, databases and design. We can only build high if the base is strong!

On the qualification side, you'll need to have acquired or be expecting to obtain an academic degree and be graduating in 2026 or within the last 2 years. You must be proficient in English, and you must be mobile and prepared to relocate geographically during the programme if the opportunity arises.

Ideally, you will have a STEM‑related degree, particularly in Digital, Technical, or Engineering disciplines. Relevant work experience or an internship would be beneficial, but is not essential.

We're looking for curious, flexible, self‑motivated team players who turn ideas into action–and who bring integrity, respect, and a passion for learning every day. As we shape the future of our Digital and Technical function, we especially welcome applicants with a passion for data and analytics.

Most importantly be you. Bring…
