ICT roles with Kerry

Help the future taste great!

ICT in Kerry is a global function with a presence in almost all our worldwide locations. The ICT function adds value to Kerry by delivering innovative solutions using world class software packages and the latest technology.

We work across every function, so our graduates need to be quick learners who can understand business process and how technology can be applied to address gaps or optimize a process. With the scale of the organization and the ambitious growth targets, we always have a large number of projects running in parallel across the globe. It’s key that our graduates can work well in teams, but are also ready to step up and take the lead with their peers both inside and outside ICT. If you want to learn the latest technology, see how a world leading organisation is run and have what it takes to consistently deliver project after project, then ICT could be the career for you!

We are looking for smart, innovative and collaborative Graduates to work across business analyst, technical delivery and development, and infrastructure roles. Candidates will be matched to roles that best suit their abilities. However, within Kerry we work with our graduates to help them develop a full set of skills to become leaders within ICT and Kerry during their careers.

Lorenzo – ICT Graduate

“ When people think of IT they think of providing support in a back office, but my role at Kerry has allowed me to visit and implement solutions around the world. I visited over seven countries in my first year including Brazil, Costa Rica and the United States .

“ I was involved in the development of a new processing software for our factories across South America, and I was given the responsibility to travel to the individual factories to manage the implementation process. IT is a global function so there are many opportunities for travel .”
