Job description

You'll be working in our busy and diverse sales chain, assisting with the communication, management and performance of existing sales development programmes. You'll provide cross-team support for a range of operational work to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our sales activity, helping to achieve our volume, growth and customer satisfaction ambitions. This role will include operational tasks, managing reporting through Excel/Power BI as well as project management.

To be successful in this team you'll have strong commercial awareness and organisational skills, as well as a keen awareness of customer and employee needs. The roles here suit a detail-focussed individual with a determination to solve problems and raise standards.

Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2027. You should be on a sandwich degree which offers a one-year industrial placement.

We believe all employees should have a good work/life balance and wouldn't want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require our placement students to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office.

We're driven by difference. With six big brands under one roof - each with its own history, designs and innovations - we've created some of the world's most iconic vehicles, from luxury sports cars to family camper vans. Here, you'll discover opportunities, explore ideas and tackle challenges that you won't find anywhere else.

It takes a range of teams to make the Group successful. We all share the same aim: to deliver sustainable mobility for generations to come, while keeping the customer and their changing demands at the heart of everything we do.

There's never been a more exciting time to join our industry as it undergoes the biggest transformation for over 100 years. With digitalisation, electrification and driverless mobility all coming to the market, we're actively looking for people with new skills, knowledge, and outlooks. A brave new world demands brave, new, diverse people; so whatever your background, we would love to hear from you. We know that different perspectives and thought processes are vital as our industry goes through an exciting period of change.
