Job description

Overview

We’re Enterprise Mobility, a family-owned, world-class portfolio of brands including household names like Enterprise Rent-A-Car. With a $35 billion turnover and nearly 90,000 team members across 95 countries, we have grown over 65 years into a global mobility leader.

Join us and benefit from being recognized as the TargetJobs Graduate Employer of the Year and a Times Top 100 Graduate Employer. We offer you the freedom to explore your potential and progress on your career path. Are you ready to make your move?

After an initial virtual classroom orientation, you will be assigned to a branch for hands-on training, learning valuable business skills from experienced mentors, many of whom started as graduates in our Management Training Programme, including our current CEO.

This comprehensive training allows you to understand our business from the ground up and see how your role contributes to our success. Our promote-from-within culture provides a well-rounded experience, developing skills in management, finance, operations, sales, and customer service.

As you advance, more opportunities will open up. Most graduates choose to continue within our Rental Operations managerial track, potentially becoming a Branch Manager within two years, or exploring other areas such as Human Resources, Accounting, Revenue Management, Sales, or Marketing.

We prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion, being recognized on lists such as The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality and Stonewall's Top 100 Employers for LGBTQ+ Inclusion. We are also a Disability Confident Leader and rank in the top 25 of the Social Mobility Employer Index.

Enterprise Mobility remains family-owned, with our CEO Chrissy Taylor representing the third generation of the Taylor family. This ownership provides stability and a long-term vision for the future, benefiting our employees, customers, and business.

Responsibilities

As a Graduate Management Trainee, you will make significant business decisions impacting your career and the company's bottom line.

Training will cover sales techniques, problem-solving, and conflict management, enabling you to build lasting relationships with key decision makers. You will also learn to mentor, train, develop, manage, and promote staff, with opportunities for pay increases and promotions as you grow.

• A Bachelor’s degree is preferred; professional experience can be considered as a substitute.
