About the company
Mondelēz International, Inc.
Mondelez International took its present form in October 2012, when Kraft Foods Inc. split in two: the global snacks business kept the company and was renamed Mondelez, while the North American grocery business was spun off as Kraft Foods Group. Kraft had bought the British confectioner Cadbury in 2010. Mondelez is based in Chicago and listed on Nasdaq; its brands, sold in more than 150 countries, include Oreo, Ritz, belVita and LU biscuits, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka and Toblerone chocolate, and CLIF bars. Its Indian business began in 1948 as Cadbury India, with Cadbury Dairy Milk as its first chocolate in the country; the company was renamed Mondelez India Foods in April 2014 and is now Mondelez India Foods Private Limited, headquartered in Mumbai. In India it sells Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Gems, Perk, Bournvita, Tang and Oreo, and has factories in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh, a technical (research and development) centre in Thane, and a Global Business Hub in Lower Parel, Mumbai.
Its finance openings in India are in Mumbai, at its Malanpur plant in Madhya Pradesh and in commercial finance for the east region, and cover external manufacturing finance, plant finance and commercial finance. They ask for a CA, CMA (CWA) or an MBA in finance, with CA Inter, ICWA and commerce graduates also eligible for the analyst role, and two to fourteen years of experience.
