As a business, we are humbled to stand on the shoulders of giants. From small beginnings by ambitious entrepreneurs such as Arthur Guinness, Alexander Walker, Charles Tanqueray and Alexander Gordon, we work together today as the world's largest spirits company with passion and determination to safe keep our beloved global brands for the next generation of consumers. Chosen as the custodians of an incredible portfolio of established brands including Johnnie Walker®, Gordons®, Smirnoff® and our local iconic hero, Bundaberg Rum®, we have aspirations to continue to be the most trusted FMCG organisation in the world. In the world of Diageo, when we have been built by incredible characters with inspiring brand stories, Character is everything.
While we may be a global giant, we are also incredibly proud to support and drive continued investment in Australian Manufacturing with two world class manufacturing sites - Huntingwood, NSW and Bundaberg, QLD and the majority of the products we sell in Australia are created here in our factories, by our people. Our Commercial team spans both On-Premise and Off Premise, working hand in hand with Australia's hospitality sector to delight patrons in their venues and fostering deep relationships with key retailers including Dan Murphy's, Liqourland and an array of Independent Bottle Store Owners to give consumers the opportunity to connect and celebrate in their everyday life.
In 2020, Diageo launched our Society 2030 - Spirit of Progress initiative, aimed at providing our framework and goals for ways of operating into the future. These goals included Harm Minimization Messaging and Programs, Diversity & Inclusion initiatives and Environmental Impacts, including committing to Zero Net Carbon Emissions, Zero Water Waste and completely sustainable packaging by 2030. In this area we are championing change, leading the industry forward and setting the benchmark for other consumer goods organisations to reach.
Our recruitment process differs from role to role. As an intern applicant you can expect:
In Diageo, we are less focused on the "what" and more focused on the "how" you would do things. This is our most important criteria when it comes to selecting employees to join our business. We have four leadership behaviours at Diageo that we assess talent against.
We offer a competitive package to all of our employees, but often some of our best parts of our compensation are our added benefits. This includes a product allowance (very important for an adult beverages organisation!), extra days off annual leave each year, a competitive bonus structure and intangible benefits including summer hours (Friday afternoons off!), work-life flexibility and onsite parking for our manufacturing site.
Our previous graduates are our best examples of what career opportunities await you at Diageo Australia and the opportunity you can unlock for yourself in our business. We are a performance driven culture, and you truly are able to take your career to whatever heights you can imagine!
