Finance & Accounting Development Program

The Materion Finance & Accounting Development Program (FADP) is designed to accelerate early career development of high potential college graduates to prepare them for upwardly mobile careers within finance at Materion. The program is managed by a dedicated Finance & Accounting Development Program Manager with oversight by the CFO and Materion’s leadership team.

The program prepares participants for roles of increasing responsibility through a combination of rotational assignments, structured learning, formalized feedback, and mentoring. Program participants will have the opportunity to interact with finance and accounting leaders and participate in various key financial initiatives.

FADPs will complete a two-year program consisting of four 6-month rotations which will include at least one 6- month rotation at a manufacturing facility located in Ohio, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Wisconsin. Geographical flexibility is required during the program and also upon completion of the program. Relocation assistance is provided. The first 6-month rotation is at our Corporate Office in Cleveland, Ohio.

Through your rotations, you will receive respected mentors amongst our leadership team and learning opportunities with challenging hands on experience. Program participants will receive exclusive training and exposure to multiple parts of a complex business to provide them a well-rounded experience within multiple finance functions.
