Introduction
Great brands, great culture, great opportunities. That’s what you can expect at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) in Bulgaria.
Home to more than 1,700 colleagues across Sofia and Varna, Bulgaria is one of CCEP's largest offices and a key location for many of our global teams.
Unlike other CCEP markets, we don’t have local manufacturing, distribution or sales operations in Bulgaria. These activities are carried out locally by Coca-Cola Hellenic.
Instead, our two offices bring together a wide range of teams, including a significant part of our Integrated Shared Services organisation and a number of other specialist teams supporting markets across CCEP, creating opportunities to work across countries, functions and disciplines.
This creates unique opportunities to build specialist expertise, broaden your experience and work as part of a truly international business, collaborating with colleagues across multiple countries and functions.
Our Sofia office is in Garitage Park, with convenient access to the ring road, the city and nearby Vitosha Mountain. Our Varna office is located close to the Sea Garden and Black Sea coastline.
Life @ CCEP Bulgaria
At CCEP Bulgaria, you’ll join a collaborative and international community where people support one another, share ideas and continue learning throughout their careers. Our teams represent around 18 nationalities and speak more than 15 languages, bringing together diverse experiences, perspectives and cultures. Many colleagues have built long and successful careers with us, developing new skills, taking on new challenges, and growing across different teams and functions.
We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace. Around 70% of our senior manager and above positions are held by women, exceeding our company target of our 40%. And we continue to foster a culture where everyone feels welcome, valued and able to be themselves.
Beyond day-to-day work, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues, support local communities, and make a positive difference. We have an active engagement committee that organises activities throughout the year, from charity initiatives and corporate runs to social events and guest speakers. Wellbeing is equally important, with access to an Employee Assistance Programme, trained wellbeing first aiders and a range of initiatives designed to help colleagues feel supported and connected. We also offer two volunteering days a year, giving employees the opportunity to support causes that matter to them and help create a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.
University Talent Programme
At CCEP, one of our strategic priorities is to “attract, develop and retain a highly talented and diverse workforce”. The University Talent Program for Finance brings this priority alive and helps develop the future talent pipeline of our Finance business.
During the program, the young graduates will gain experience in several roles in our Finance business area. There will be 4 x 6-month rotations over the 2 year program, however these can vary according to business demands. We ask candidates to be geographically mobile and complete one rotation within our Finance Shared Service Centre, based in Bulgaria.
This project is focusing on the development of performance and financial capability within Shared Services, Commercial Finance, Supply Chain Finance, and either Internal Audit or Procurement.
The program will helps building experience in Finance, as well as building knowledge and capabilities in Financial Management, Operations and Strategy.
Internships
This is a 9-month program, designated to take place between Feb-Nov and allowing flexibility to choose between a full and part-time scheme; joiners will be assigned to one of our departments and would have the opportunity to deep dive into the respective area based on 2 or 3 rotations between the teams working for the given service line.
Personal mentoring and support is offered for the whole program duration, as well as multiple networking opportunities. We are looking for undergraduates in their second, third or fourth year of degree level education. Ideally with a focus on either Business Studies, Finance or Information Systems. Fluency is English is a must, and knowledge of one of the following languages is considered an advantage -  French, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, German, and Spanish.
Job Functions
In Bulgaria, you’ll find opportunities both within our Integrated Shared Services and across other global functions.
