Frequently asked questions

All roles are full-time at this time.

Yes. For interns, you’ll be given insight into graduate roles within your function that you may be able to apply for when you complete your studies and conclude your internship. For graduates, you’ll either be appointed to or have the opportunity to apply for a role after your graduate programme is complete. This will vary by function.

Definitely. Our intern and graduate roles are carefully designed around live projects with real responsibility. Our millions of customers are counting on our products to help them run their businesses better, and we need every person at Sage to help us achieve this. 

Our intern and graduate roles are hybrid spending three days per week in the office. We want you to get the most out of your Sage experience and found that office days spent collaborating with the team accelerate growth. 

Our culture is rooted in seeking perspectives from all walks of life. If you’re in the UK, you’ll meet our entire executive leadership team and our CEO, Steve Hare. Steve also regularly speaks to all colleagues about the importance of early talent referring to them as “inspirational new voices”. Whatever your title, you have a seat at the table. 

Embrace it! You’re in an active learning period as an intern or graduate. We want you to always be curious and ask lots of questions. People at Sage are approachable and welcome the opportunity to support our Early Careers community. If you’re looking for input from an expert, reach out to your mentor. Or, if you’d rather bounce thoughts off of a fellow colleague, your peer mentor, or 'buddy' as we call them at Sage, is a Teams chat or desk away.

We’re so glad you care, because so do we. Check out how we’re doing our part in making the world a better place, and how you can contribute too when you join Sage. Explore our DEI page.
