Sky, the UK’s leading entertainment and communications company, has announced 50 new finance jobs in Livingston.
The roles will be based at the Watermark building located in Livingston’s Alba Campus, close to Sky’s current site in the town.
Sky is looking for people with a broad and varied skill set to enter into the finance department. Recruits for the 50 new positions will range from graduates through to skilled and experienced finance professionals with the new roles including Head of Finance, Financial Controllers, Analysts and Assistant Analysts.
As part of the intake, Sky will be launching its first Scottish finance graduate scheme sponsoring six candidates through the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) exams. These six people will join the existing 40 graduates currently working in finance across a variety of roles in a number of areas.
Denise Allan, Director of Operational Finance for Sky, said: “We are looking for driven and talented individuals to fill these roles – people who will help the finance team work even better on behalf of the business. We’re well known for investing in our people which is why we are also committed to offering six candidates sponsorship through the CIMA accreditation process.
“Our move into the Watermark building will create a fantastic new environment in which to work and expand our finance operation. I’m really looking forward to getting the new team up and running.”
The company is kitting out the Watermark building, which will also be home to HR and IT teams, with staff facilities such as a new restaurant, secure cycling sheds, changing rooms, shower rooms, drying rooms and lockers. The move into the new premises will be complete by the end of the summer.
The new Sky jobs follow on the back of strong growth for the company, which now has over 10.1 million customers, and a wider workforce expansion announced in January. Sky currently employees 16,500 people across the UK and Ireland.
The new positions come with competitive salaries, rewards and benefits. All Sky employees receive free Sky+HD, Broadband and Talk, as well as excellent training and personal development opportunities.
