It is not too early to apply. Since 1946, Chevron’s Finance M.B.A. Development Program has successfully helped alumni accelerate their careers and advance to senior-level executive positions. You’ll gain practical and relevant work experience needed to develop into a future leader for our business.

Who Chevron Hires:

  • Are interested in exploring a variety of business areas.
  • Have strong analytical skills.
  • Received an M.B.A. from a top school.

Candidates should have an M.B.A. in finance. Previous finance and industry experience is valuable but not required.


What You’ll Do

As a Chevron Finance M.B.A. Development Program participant, you’ll spend the first two years in the program in four rotational assignments, each lasting approximately six months. There is no pre-established sequence for your rotations. Instead, your assignments will be tailored to your interests and development areas, as well as to Chevron’s business needs. Your assignments might include work in four of the following areas:

  • Corporate Comptroller’s
  • Corporate Treasury
  • Corporate Strategic Planning
  • Global Upstream
  • Global Gas
  • Global Downstream
  • Corporate Audit
  • Credit

A full-time manager, who is also a program alumnus, coordinates the program. Your manager understands the full range of possible assignments and will work with you to tailor your assignments.


Where You’ll Work

Chevron Finance M.B.A. Development Program opportunities are available around the globe. Depending on your role, you may work in:

  • Houston, Texas
  • San Francisco Bay Area, California
  • Angola
  • Argentina
  • Australia
  • Brazil
  • Canada
  • Kazakhstan
  • Nigeria
  • Singapore
  • Thailand
  • United Kingdom

International exposure for future leaders of the company is critical, and you’ll likely complete one or more overseas assignments while in the program. If you’re interested, you’re encouraged to pursue transferring to global locations after you complete the program.
