MINI UK Marketing - Placement Year

YOUR INTERNSHIP STARTS WITH WHAT ENGAGES YOU.

We believe in creating an environment where our interns really can learn by doing during their time with us and where they are given their own areas of responsibilities from the start. That’s why our experts treat you as part of the team from day one, encourage you to bring your own ideas to the table – and give you the opportunity to really show what you can do.

MINI UK Marketing - Placement Year (July 2027) BMW UK, Farnborough.

We are looking for confident and eager to learn individuals to join us and have four roles available within the MINI UK Marketing team covering Strategy, National and Retailer Communications, Events and Partnerships.

You will be working in the marketing team who are responsible for the delivery of all UK marketing campaigns, be that for the MINI brand or new model launches. We work with a number of agencies in a dynamic, busy and fun team with a work hard, play hard attitude.

Whilst MINI is part of the BMW Group, it has a very separate brand identity, with the smaller MINI team working autonomously from BMW. Everything from our dress code to office environment is reflective of the MINI brand.

• Our team structure allows you to take full responsibility for projects, operating as a key and valued member of the department from day one.
• Collaboration with the wider team to deliver exciting campaigns and major events.
• Coordinating and publishing weekly bulletins and key performance dashboards to internal stakeholders, as well as monthly competitor analysis.
• Administration and steering of key focus topic working groups.
• Support with developing the MINI team engagement strategy, including helping to organise team days and social activities.
• Support the finance process for the overall multi-million-pound budget. This will include working with purchasing, raising purchase orders and completing month end.
• Wider professional development opportunities across the BMW Group.

What should you bring along?

• Studying towards a bachelor's degree and on track to achieve at least a 2:2 - a degree in Business Studies, Marketing would be advantageous but not essential.
• Strong relationship building skills and excellent inter-personal abilities, alongside exceptional written and verbal communication.
• Excellent IT skills alongside a willingness to understand and use new systems and technology.
• A well-rounded individual with a good mix of numerical and creative skills.
• Self-motivated, well organised, and able to manage your time and complete tasks before deadlines.
• Strong attention to detail, coupled with the ability to provide considered feedback to marketing agencies and colleagues.
• A team player with a helpful, can-do attitude.
• A genuine passion for MINI and Marketing is essential.
• The ability to clearly understand the MINI brand tone of voice and creative style to provide relevant feedback and input on projects.
• A UK driving license is advantageous but not essential.

What can you look forward to?

• Great Pay – A competitive annual salary, 27 days holiday per annum (pro rata to your contract) and an attractive pension scheme.
• Rewarding Work-Life Balance – Be part of a supportive and inclusive environment where you can learn, grow, and contribute to the future of luxury automotive excellence.
• Exciting Additional Benefits – You will have the opportunity to enjoy other employee benefits, a subsidised on-site restaurant and access to our Advantages scheme which gives you a range of offers and discounts.
