Key Takeaways

  • Sage applies through sage.com/careers, but every application routes to Sage People (Sage's own Salesforce-native ATS) at sagehr.my.salesforce-sites.com/careers/fRecruit__ApplyJob. Each role has a unique vacancy number (e.g. VN35197).
  • Newcastle upon Tyne (Cobalt Park, North East England) is the global HQ with 1,000+ colleagues and is the single largest concentration of roles, but Sage hires globally across 40+ offices in 18+ countries.
  • Sage's headline cultural value is 'Bold' — curious, courageous, ambitious, creative. Prepare two to three concrete STAR stories per dimension before any interview round; this is the highest-leverage preparation.
  • Quantify impact on your CV in metrics Sage cares about (ARR, NRR, NPS, customer count, deployment frequency, cost takeout, automation hours saved) and mirror the exact language of the job advert.
  • Engineering loops favour realistic problems (refactoring, API design, debugging, observability, multi-tenant trade-offs) over competitive-programming puzzles. For Sage Intacct and Sage People roles expect Salesforce / cloud-financial-management domain depth, not generic LeetCode.
  • Sage hires for inclusive collaboration and SMB customer empathy. Lone-wolf operators and candidates who dismiss heritage British software products struggle in values rounds even when technically strong.
  • Sage is publicly traded on the LSE (SGE), is a FTSE 100 constituent, and offers the Sage Share Plan (discounted SGE shares) plus competitive base salary and bonus. UK regional pay sits above Manchester and Leeds tech market rates and below Central London city banding for equivalent roles.
  • Benefits are unusually generous for a UK FTSE 100: 25 days annual leave (rising), 5 paid Sage Foundation volunteer days from day one, 5 paid learning days, 26 weeks paid parental leave for primary parents, private medical insurance, a 10-week work-from-anywhere policy across 40+ countries, and the AI-powered internal Talent Marketplace for mobility.
  • Right-to-work matters: Sage sponsors UK Skilled Worker, US H-1B / O-1 / TN, and EU equivalents selectively for senior and specialist roles. Local candidates have a structural advantage at junior and mid levels.
  • Treat the Sage recruiter as an ally, not a gatekeeper. Sage explicitly assigns a dedicated recruiter to every requisition, and they are empowered to advocate for adjustments, accessibility needs, scheduling, and pay-band conversations.

About Sage Group

The Sage Group plc (LSE: SGE) is a FTSE 100 British multinational enterprise software company headquartered at Cobalt Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England. Founded in 1981 by David Goldman, Graham Wylie, and Paul Muller as a small accounting software business spun out of Newcastle University, Sage has grown into one of the world's largest providers of cloud-native accounting, payroll, HR, and finance software for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), serving millions of customers across more than 20 countries. The company employs roughly 11,000 to 12,000 people globally across 40+ offices spanning the UK, USA, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Israel, Morocco, India, Australia, and Belgium, with its global headquarters in Newcastle hosting more than 1,000 colleagues across two buildings at Cobalt Park (the UK's largest business park) and its North America headquarters in the Lawrenceville/Atlanta metro area. Sage's product portfolio is anchored by long-running franchises and strategic acquisitions: Sage 50 Accounts and Sage 200 (long-standing UK and European SMB accounting), Sage Intacct (acquired in 2017 for approximately $850 million; the company's flagship cloud financial management platform and the engine of its US expansion), Sage X3 (mid-market ERP), Sage HR and Sage People (cloud HR and Workforce Management, with Sage People itself being a Salesforce-native HCM platform that Sage uses to run its own recruitment), Sage Payroll, Sage Sole Trader, Sage Earth (carbon accounting), and the newer Sage Network and Sage Copilot AI agents launched as part of the FY25 push into agentic finance automation. Strategically, the company competes with Intuit QuickBooks (dominant in US small business), Xero (strong in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK), FreeAgent, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Oracle NetSuite, and Workday Adaptive Planning at the upper end of the SMB and lower mid-market. Under CEO Steve Hare, who has led the business since 2018 and previously served as CFO, Sage has executed a deliberate, multi-year transition from perpetual-licence on-premise software to a recurring-revenue cloud SaaS model. That transition has been broadly successful: Sage has been a notable FTSE 100 outperformer in 2024 and 2025, with consistent double-digit cloud-native ARR growth, expanding operating margins, share buybacks, and a progressive dividend. The company's next strategic chapter centres on the Sage Network (an AI-powered ledger, accountant collaboration, and embedded payments platform) and on AI agents that automate transactional finance work for SMBs and the accountants who serve them. Culturally, Sage is a heritage British software company that has modernised significantly without losing its roots in the North East of England. The published cultural value is 'Bold' (curious, courageous, ambitious, creative), and the colleague experience is built around the Sage Foundation (five paid volunteer days every year starting day one, more than 455,000 volunteer hours and $2.4 million donated in the last three years), inclusive Colleague Success Networks, hybrid working, a generous 10-week 'work from anywhere in 40+ countries' policy, 25 days annual leave (rising with tenure) plus public holidays, 5 paid learning days, 26 weeks paid parental leave for primary parents and 6 weeks for secondary parents, private medical insurance, a defined-contribution pension plan with a market-leading match, life and income protection cover, the Sage Share Plan (discounted SGE shares), and access to Calm, Cleo, LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight, Highspot, and the AI-powered internal Talent Marketplace for career mobility. The company was ranked #15 on the Financial Times' Best Employers in the UK list and reports an 84% engagement survey response rate from over 11,000 colleagues, with 9 in 10 reporting they feel free to speak their mind.

Application Process

  1. 1
    Search and apply through Sage's official careers site at sage

    Search and apply through Sage's official careers site at sage.com/en-gb/company/careers, then click through to the Career Search page which lists all open roles globally. You can filter by country (UK, USA, France, Spain, South Africa, Canada, Germany, India, Austria, and others), department (Sales, Product Delivery, Customer Operations, Performance Marketing, Cloud Operations, Sage Network Operations, Marketing, People, Finance, Brand, IT, Global Information Security, RTR Professional Services, and more), and free-text keyword.

  2. 2
    Click 'Apply' on a role and you will be routed to Sage's applicant tracking syst

    Click 'Apply' on a role and you will be routed to Sage's applicant tracking system at sagehr.my.salesforce-sites.com/careers/fRecruit__ApplyJob — this is Sage People (the company's own Salesforce-native HCM and recruiting product, which it uses internally as a point of pride and as a live customer reference). Each role has a unique vacancy number such as VN35197.

  3. 3
    Create or sign into your Sage People candidate profile (one-time setup), upload

    Create or sign into your Sage People candidate profile (one-time setup), upload your CV/resume in PDF, complete the structured application form (work-rights, location preference, notice period, salary expectations), and submit. The portal lets you log back in any time to view application status (new, ongoing, rejected) and to withdraw if you change your mind.

  4. 4
    Initial recruiter screen by phone or video (typically 30-45 minutes)

    Initial recruiter screen by phone or video (typically 30-45 minutes). Each Sage role is owned by a dedicated recruiter who genuinely reviews every application — this is a deliberate Sage policy, not boilerplate. Expect questions on motivation, working-rights, salary expectations, location flexibility (hybrid vs office), and a high-level walk-through of your background. Sage recruiters are trained to flag adjustments for accessibility, neurodiversity, or scheduling needs at this stage.

  5. 5
    Hiring manager interview (45-60 minutes), usually video

    Hiring manager interview (45-60 minutes), usually video. Focused on role-specific experience, recent projects, and how you have approached the kind of problems the team is currently solving. Expect behavioural questions tied to the 'Bold' value (curious, courageous, ambitious, creative) and to Sage's customer-obsession with small and medium-sized businesses.

  6. 6
    Role-specific assessment for relevant tracks: a take-home or live coding exercis

    Role-specific assessment for relevant tracks: a take-home or live coding exercise for engineers, a portfolio walk-through and design exercise for product designers, a written case or product teardown for product managers, a Salesforce or Sage Intacct configuration exercise for solution roles, a discovery role-play or mock demo for sales and customer success roles, or a written submission for marketing and content roles.

  7. 7
    Loop or panel round (typically 2-4 interviews, often split across two days)

    Loop or panel round (typically 2-4 interviews, often split across two days). Covers technical depth, system or solution design, cross-functional collaboration with product / design / data / customer operations, a values conversation anchored on 'Bold,' and frequently a final conversation with a director or VP. For senior and leadership roles expect a presentation prepared in advance and a wider stakeholder panel.

  8. 8
    Offer, references, and background check

    Offer, references, and background check. Verbal offer typically follows within a week of the final round, written contract within a few days after that. Right-to-work, criminal-record, and (for senior or finance roles) credit checks are standard. The end-to-end cycle is usually 3 to 6 weeks for individual contributor roles and 6 to 10 weeks for senior leadership.

Resume Tips for Sage Group

recommended

Lead with measurable impact in metrics Sage recognises: ARR growth, customer cou

Lead with measurable impact in metrics Sage recognises: ARR growth, customer count, retention/NRR, NPS, deployment frequency, cost takeout, automation hours saved, accountancy practice partnerships, ERP implementations delivered, or test coverage. Vague responsibility statements get skimmed; quantified outcomes earn the recruiter call.

recommended

Mirror the exact language of the Sage job advert

Mirror the exact language of the Sage job advert. The Sage People ATS does light keyword matching, but more importantly Sage recruiters are trained to shortlist on explicit alignment — terms like 'cloud financial management,' 'Sage Intacct,' 'multi-entity consolidation,' 'embedded payments,' 'product-led growth,' 'agentic AI,' 'partner channel,' or specific tech stacks should appear verbatim where they apply to you.

recommended

Call out small-business, mid-market, accounting, payroll, HR, ERP, fintech, or B

Call out small-business, mid-market, accounting, payroll, HR, ERP, fintech, or B2B SaaS exposure prominently. Sage's mission is removing friction for SMBs and the accountants and bookkeepers who serve them, and demonstrated empathy or domain experience is a genuine differentiator versus generic enterprise CVs.

recommended

For engineering and product roles, surface stack and platform alignment honestly

For engineering and product roles, surface stack and platform alignment honestly. Sage operates a mixed estate spanning AWS, Azure, .NET / C#, Java, TypeScript / React, Python, Salesforce (especially around Sage People and Sage Intacct), microservices, event-driven architectures, and data platforms (Snowflake, dbt, Databricks). Be explicit about what you have shipped to production, not just what you have studied.

recommended

If you are applying for a Sage Intacct role in the United States or Canada, trea

If you are applying for a Sage Intacct role in the United States or Canada, treat it as an essentially separate culture from the legacy UK product lines. Highlight cloud-native, multi-tenant, mid-market financial management, AICPA-preferred / CPA.com endorsement, and partner-channel experience. The Lawrenceville / Atlanta hub has its own engineering and go-to-market cadence.

recommended

Use a clean, single-column, ATS-safe layout

Use a clean, single-column, ATS-safe layout. Sage People parses cleanly from a standard PDF; avoid tables, text boxes, headshots, multi-column layouts, and graphical skill bars. Keep to 1-2 pages, use standard fonts (Inter, Arial, Calibri, Helvetica), and place dates on every role.

recommended

Include a short, specific 'why Sage' line in your summary or cover letter that t

Include a short, specific 'why Sage' line in your summary or cover letter that ties your motivation to a Sage product (Sage Intacct, Sage 50, Sage HR, Sage Network), to the SMB mission, to the Newcastle origin story, or to the AI / Sage Copilot direction. Generic applications are filtered fast; specificity signals genuine intent.

recommended

Highlight inclusion, accessibility, mentoring, community contribution, or pro-bo

Highlight inclusion, accessibility, mentoring, community contribution, or pro-bono work — particularly anything aligned with the Sage Foundation themes (digital and financial inclusion, education, employability). Sage takes its DEI and social-impact commitments seriously and weights values rounds accordingly.

ATS System: Sage People (Salesforce-native ATS)

Sage uses Sage People as its applicant tracking system across all global locations — the same Salesforce-native HCM and recruiting product that Sage sells to mid-market customers. Apply links route from sage.com/careers to sagehr.my.salesforce-sites.com/careers/fRecruit__ApplyJob with a unique vacancy number per role (e.g. VN35197). The candidate experience is browser-based, requires a one-time profile setup, lets you track application status (new, ongoing, rejected) in real time, and lets you withdraw from a position yourself without contacting the recruiter. Each requisition is assigned a dedicated Sage recruiter who genuinely reviews applications.

  • Build your Sage People candidate profile carefully — it is reused across every Sage application and is what recruiters and hiring managers see first.
  • Submit your CV as a single-column PDF with standard fonts (Inter, Arial, Calibri, Helvetica). Sage People parses cleanly from this format and struggles with tables, text boxes, multi-column layouts, headshots, and graphical skill bars.
  • Mirror exact keywords from the job advert (job title, technologies, methodologies, product names like Sage Intacct or Sage 50, domain terms) into your CV and Sage People profile — both light automated matching and human shortlisting reward exact matches.
  • Complete every relevant optional Sage People field (work authorisation, languages, accessibility needs, pronouns, location flexibility). Empty fields can cause your application to be deprioritised.
  • Set up Sage People job alerts on the Career Search page so you are notified the moment a role opens — early applicants frequently get faster recruiter response in Sage's high-volume Sales, Customer Operations, and Product Delivery requisitions.
  • Track your applications inside the Sage People candidate portal rather than relying solely on email — the portal shows real-time status (new, ongoing, rejected) and lets you withdraw cleanly if you receive another offer.
  • Note the unique vacancy number (VN format) when you apply — it is the canonical reference if you contact the recruiter or follow up via LinkedIn.

Interview Culture

Sage's interview culture is structured, conversational, and notably calmer than the high-pressure loops common at US Big Tech.

The company has invested in standardising its hiring process across regions, training interviewers on inclusive hiring, and ensuring that every applicant is reviewed by a human recruiter — not silently filtered out by an algorithm. Candidates frequently report on Glassdoor and LinkedIn that Sage recruiters are responsive, transparent about timelines, and willing to make adjustments for accessibility, neurodiversity, caring responsibilities, or scheduling constraints. This is consistent with Sage's positioning as both a heritage British employer and a self-aware HR-tech vendor that knows its candidate experience is a brand asset. Interviews are competency-based and behavioural rather than trick-question oriented. Expect STAR-format questions (Situation, Task, Action, Result) anchored around the 'Bold' value: curious (you investigated something the team had taken for granted), courageous (you raised a hard truth or challenged a decision respectfully), ambitious (you pushed beyond the brief or reset the bar), and creative (you found a non-obvious solution or reframed the problem). Coming with two or three concrete stories per dimension, written down in advance, is the single highest-leverage preparation move. For engineering, cloud, and platform roles the technical bar is real but humane. Take-home exercises are time-boxed (typically 2-4 hours) and graded by multiple engineers; live coding and pair-programming sessions are conversational, with interviewers actively helping when you get stuck and caring more about how you reason than whether you produce a perfect answer. System design rounds at mid-level and above focus on trade-offs (consistency vs availability, multi-tenant isolation, data residency, observability, build vs buy, microservice boundaries) rather than memorised patterns. Live coding rarely involves competitive-programming puzzles; expect realistic API design, refactoring an existing module, debugging a flaky test, or extending a small codebase. For Sage Intacct and Salesforce-adjacent roles expect domain-specific configuration exercises rather than pure DSA puzzles. For product, design, customer operations, and go-to-market roles expect portfolio or case-study presentations followed by deep-dive Q&A, plus role-plays grounded in real Sage customer scenarios — a frustrated bookkeeper at a 10-person agency, a controller at a multi-entity nonprofit evaluating Sage Intacct against Oracle NetSuite, a partner accountant building a Sage practice, or a churn risk on the Sage 50 base. Panels almost always include at least one cross-functional partner (a PM in an engineer's loop, an engineer in a designer's loop) to assess real-world collaboration. The values and culture conversation is conducted by someone outside the immediate hiring team. It is not a trick interview and it is not designed to catch you out; the interviewer is genuinely assessing whether you will help Sage become better, more diverse, and more capable, rather than whether you mirror the existing team. Honesty, self-awareness, and concrete examples consistently outperform polished but generic answers. Sage filters out candidates who are technically strong but display arrogance, dismissiveness toward the SMB customer base, or contempt for the heritage British-software side of the portfolio — that signal travels fast in a relatively small post-loop debrief culture.

What Sage Group Looks For

  • Genuine customer empathy for small and medium-sized businesses, accountants, bookkeepers, payroll administrators, and finance teams. Sage hires people who actually care about removing friction for these users, not engineers who view SMB software as a stepping stone to enterprise prestige.
  • Demonstrated craft — clean code, thoughtful design, well-structured writing, sharp analysis, accurate forecasting. The 'Bold' value is taken seriously and shows up in interview rubrics under 'creative' and 'ambitious.'
  • Ownership and accountability without ego. Candidates who say 'this went wrong, here is what I learned, here is what I would do differently' significantly outperform those who present only successes or externalise blame.
  • Comfort working in a global, matrixed, cross-cultural organisation. Sage runs major hubs in Newcastle, Atlanta, Lawrenceville, Winnersh, Dublin, Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid, Barcelona, Porto, Bucharest, Johannesburg, Vancouver, Mumbai, and beyond. Lone-wolf operators struggle culturally even if technically excellent.
  • Growth mindset and learning orientation. Sage actively invests in internal mobility (the AI-powered Talent Marketplace), AI Academy upskilling (more than 15,700 course completions in FY25), the AI Champions Network, LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight, and Sage University, and looks for candidates who proactively seek feedback and develop themselves.
  • Inclusive collaboration behaviours — psychological safety, mentoring, allyship, sponsorship, and a track record of building diverse teams. Assessed in the values rounds, not just for management hires.
  • Resilience and adaptability. Sage ships continuously, reorganises periodically as cloud overtakes legacy revenue, and competes hard against Intuit QuickBooks, Xero, FreeAgent, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Oracle NetSuite, and Workday at the upper edge. Comfort with ambiguity is essential, particularly in product, AI, and Sage Network roles.
  • Right-to-work in the role's jurisdiction. Sage sponsors UK Skilled Worker visas, US H-1B / O-1 / TN, and equivalents in the EU and Canada selectively for senior, specialist, and hard-to-fill roles, but mid-level and junior hires typically need existing right-to-work in the role's location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ATS does Sage use, and how should I tailor my CV for it?
Sage uses Sage People — its own Salesforce-native HCM and recruiting product — as its applicant tracking system across all global locations. Apply links route to sagehr.my.salesforce-sites.com/careers/fRecruit__ApplyJob with a unique vacancy number per role. Sage People parses cleanly from single-column PDF CVs with standard fonts (Inter, Arial, Calibri, Helvetica); avoid tables, text boxes, headshots, multi-column layouts, and graphical skill bars. Mirror exact keywords from the job advert — both light automated matching and human shortlisting reward exact-match terms. You will also create a one-time Sage People candidate profile that is reused across applications, so invest in it carefully. The portal lets you log in to track application status (new, ongoing, rejected) and to withdraw at any time.
Does Sage sponsor work visas?
Sage sponsors visas selectively for senior, specialist, and hard-to-fill roles, primarily UK Skilled Worker visas in Newcastle, Winnersh, Dublin and London-adjacent offices, US H-1B / O-1 / TN at Lawrenceville and other US hubs, and EU equivalents in France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and Romania. For mid-level and junior roles, Sage typically prioritises candidates with existing right-to-work in the role's jurisdiction. If you require sponsorship, declare it transparently in the recruiter screen so they can confirm whether the specific role and location support it — hiding it only delays an inevitable conversation.
How long does Sage's hiring process take?
Most candidates report a 3 to 6 week cycle from application to written offer for individual contributor roles. The recruiter screen typically happens within 1-2 weeks of applying, the hiring manager interview within another week, the role-specific assessment within a few days, and the loop or panel round within 1-2 weeks of that. Senior and leadership hires can take 6 to 10 weeks due to additional stakeholder panels, presentations, and executive scheduling. Sage recruiters proactively share timelines, so ask if you have not been told.
Where is Sage's headquarters and where are the main hubs?
The Sage Group plc's global headquarters is at Cobalt Park in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England — a 90,000 sqft, two-building campus hosting more than 1,000 colleagues, with on-site Starbucks, free parking, multi-faith and nursing rooms, and full accessibility features. Other major hubs include Lawrenceville (the North America HQ near Atlanta, ~500 colleagues), Winnersh in the Thames Valley (~220), Johannesburg (~600), Frankfurt (~200), Vancouver, Dublin, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Porto, Bucharest, and Mumbai. The full global footprint spans 40+ offices in roughly 18 countries.
What technologies does Sage's engineering team use?
Sage operates a mixed estate reflecting its history as both an acquirer and a builder. Cloud-native services (Sage Intacct, Sage Network, Sage HR, Sage Copilot, the AI agents) run primarily on AWS with significant Azure and a microservices, event-driven architecture. Backend languages span C# / .NET, Java, TypeScript / Node, Python, and Go. Frontend is React and TypeScript. Salesforce is core to Sage People and parts of the Sage Intacct customer experience. Data and ML teams use Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, and Python. Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), observability (Datadog, New Relic), and platform engineering are mature. Be honest about your stack alignment in your CV — Sage hires across all of these and values calibration over exaggeration.
What does Sage look for in cultural fit and values?
Sage hires against a single published value, 'Bold,' broken into four dimensions: curious (investigative, willing to question assumptions), courageous (raising hard truths and challenging respectfully), ambitious (resetting the bar rather than meeting the brief), and creative (finding non-obvious solutions). Prepare two to three concrete STAR-format stories per dimension. The values conversation is conducted by someone outside the immediate hiring team and is genuinely assessing whether you will make Sage better and more diverse, not whether you match the existing team. Sage filters out candidates who display arrogance, dismissiveness toward SMB customers, or contempt for the heritage product portfolio.
Can I work remotely or hybrid for Sage?
Most Sage roles are hybrid by default, with colleagues expected to spend some time each week in their local hub office for collaboration. Day-to-day flexibility is the norm. In addition, Sage offers a notable 'work from anywhere' policy of up to 10 weeks per year from over 40 countries — a meaningful benefit for international colleagues who want to visit family or travel without burning annual leave. Fully remote roles exist but are less common and usually tied to specific regional markets, customer-facing field roles, or specialist skills. Always confirm the work pattern with the recruiter; it varies by team, role, and country.
What benefits and compensation does Sage offer?
Sage offers a competitive market-rate base salary (UK regional pay sits above Manchester and Leeds tech market rates and below Central London city banding for equivalent roles), an annual bonus for many roles, and the Sage Share Plan giving discounted SGE shares — meaningful upside given Sage's status as a FTSE 100 listed cloud SaaS outperformer. Additional benefits include 25 days annual leave (rising with tenure) plus public holidays, 5 paid Sage Foundation volunteer days from day one, 5 paid learning days, 26 weeks paid parental leave for primary parents and 6 weeks for secondary parents, sick leave, career breaks, private medical insurance, healthcare cash plan, dental, life insurance, income protection, a defined-contribution pension plan with a market-leading match (commonly cited at up to 8% matched plus a 2% Sage top-up in the UK), and access to Calm, Cleo, an Employee Assistance Programme, LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight, and Sage University. The 10-week work-from-anywhere policy across 40+ countries is one of the more generous in the FTSE 100.
How can I stand out as a candidate for Sage?
Demonstrate genuine empathy for small and medium-sized businesses, accountants, and bookkeepers — reference a specific Sage product you have used or studied (Sage Intacct, Sage 50, Sage HR, Sage People, Sage Network, Sage Copilot), or a real SMB pain you have observed. Quantify impact in metrics Sage recognises (ARR, NRR, NPS, customer count, deployment frequency, automation hours saved). Show evidence of cross-functional collaboration. Bring concrete STAR stories per 'Bold' dimension. Ask thoughtful questions about Sage's strategy — the Sage Network, AI agents, the Sage Intacct US push, the cloud-transition narrative, or the partner-channel motion. Above all, show up authentically; Sage rejects technically strong candidates who display arrogance, dismissiveness, or contempt for the heritage product portfolio.
Does Sage have early-careers, apprenticeship, or returnship programmes?
Yes. Sage runs a structured Graduates and Interns programme (multi-year rotational graduate scheme across product, engineering, finance, sales, and customer operations, with summer internship feeders), a UK Apprenticeships programme aligned to UK government apprenticeship standards (especially strong in Newcastle and Winnersh, covering software engineering, data, cyber, and business administration), and Readiness for Work programmes targeted at people new to the professional world or returning after a career break. These are advertised on the same Sage People ATS as experienced-hire roles but typically open in defined annual windows; check sage.com/careers/graduates-and-interns and sage.com/careers/apprenticeships for current intakes.
Where can I see open roles and learn more about working at Sage?
All open roles are posted at sage.com/en-gb/company/careers/career-search/ (or the equivalent localised path for your country), which routes applications through the Sage People ATS at sagehr.my.salesforce-sites.com. The page lets you filter by location, department, and free-text keyword, and supports job alerts. For culture and team insights, follow Sage on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/sage-software), read the Sage Advice blog, watch Sage product launches and AI demos on the Sage YouTube channel, and review Glassdoor and Indeed for recent candidate experiences. The Sage Investor Centre on the corporate site publishes annual reports, half-year results, and Capital Markets Day decks worth reading before any senior interview — the 2024 and 2025 results in particular tell the cloud-transition story Steve Hare has been executing since 2018.
