Lead a brand you already love. Start January 2027 on Nestlé's NextGen Graduate Program — Sales & Marketing.

At Nestlé, we believe in nurturing exceptional talent and providing endless opportunities for growth and development. As part of our program, you will work in a collaborative and supportive team environment, gaining practical, hands-on experience in a flexible work setting. Your role will involve enhancing the lives of our loyal consumers who trust and believe in our great products.

Most grad programs hand you a deck to format. We'll hand you a brand. NESCAFÉ. PURINA. MAGGI. KIT KAT. UNCLE TOBYS. MILO. You'll work across grocery, impulse, B2B, distributors, and corporate sales — making decisions that show up on shelves, in numbers, and in your CV. Flexible setup. Real team. No coffee runs (unless it's market research).

A day in the life…

No two days will look the same. Our Graduate Program is designed for curious, adaptable thinkers who enjoy variety and learning through experience.

Across the two year rotational program, your rotations will be shaped by both your development goals and business priorities, giving you exposure to a range of commercial and marketing streams. These may include field sales, shopper marketing, sales, customer marketing, brand marketing, digital and e‑commerce.

From day one, you’ll gain hands‑on experience working on real projects, solving day‑to‑day challenges, and learning best practice ways of working in a fast moving FMCG environment.

As part of your journey, you may also have opportunities to relocate across different Nestlé Australia sites, enabling you to broaden your experience, build strong networks, and grow your career within a truly global organisation.
