• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
