Job description

About The Role

The Electric team at Motability Operations is helping to shape the future of accessible electric mobility — from home charging and public infrastructure to energy services and EV customer education.

As part of our 12-month placement programme, you’ll work across several squads and workstreams, supporting live projects that are already delivering for over 800,000 customers across the UK.

This is a hands-on opportunity to gain experience in a high-impact, delivery-focused environment, where you’ll support product managers, analysts, and subject matter experts to help bring electric products and services to life.

If you’re curious, collaborative, and motivated by real-world change — this could be the role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting live projects across different squads (Home Charging, Energy, Charging on the Go, Discovery)
• Helping gather insights, track progress, and contribute to problem-solving within delivery teams
• Working with colleagues across product, design, data, operations, and partnerships
• Supporting internal communications, process improvements, and workshop coordination
• Taking ownership of defined tasks or mini-projects as part of squad objectives

Our 12-month placement programme is built on three key pillars:

• Making an Impact, Personal Development and the Project.
• Making an Impact – get involved in meaningful work that adds real value from day one. You’ll support your team’s goals and help deliver work that makes a difference – for your team, and for the people we do it all for: our customers.
• Personal Development – build your confidence and skills through mentoring, learning sessions and events – all designed to support your growth and goals.
• The Project – work with other students to lead a project that creates real, positive impact.
• Our programmes go above and beyond just the day job. You’ll gain valuable experience in your chosen business area while also having the space and opportunity to challenge yourself and develop your skills.

About You

We are looking for candidates who are:

• Team players, eager to get involved and proactive in making the most of every opportunity
• Confident presenter with excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Have good commercial awareness
• Enthusiastic ‘can do’ attitude, passionate about your personal and professional development
• Proficient with Microsoft Excel and data

Minimum criteria

You’ll need all of these.

• Thriving in the second year of your degree that includes a year in industry
• Excited to join us in our London office at least three days a week
• Eager to start in July 2026

About The Company

Motability Operations is a unique organisation, virtually one of a kind. We combine a strong sense of purpose with a real commercial edge to ensure we provide the best possible worry-free mobility solutions to over 860,000 customers and their families across the UK. Customers exchange their higher rate mobility allowance to lease a range of affordable vehicles (cars, wheelchair accessible vehicles, scooters, and powered wheelchairs) with insurance, maintenance and breakdown assistance included. We are the largest car fleet operator in the UK (purchasing around 15% of all the new cars sold in the UK) and work with a network of around 5,000 car dealers and all the major manufacturers. We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding customer service, achieving an independently verified customer satisfaction rating of 9.4 out of 10.

Our values are at the heart of everything we do. They represent ambition, and we look for our people to live and breathe them every day:

• We find solutions
• We drive change
• We care

We operate hybrid working across the organisation where we split our time between working on-site at our offices, and at home, remotely within the UK. We believe hybrid working achieves a good work/life balance for our colleagues, allowing us to connect with each other, collaborate on important work, and perform together to deliver for our customers. It allows us to have the flexibility to work remotely up to 2-days per week whilst also using the great office spaces we have available.

At Motability Operations, we believe in building a diverse workforce, where our people are empowered to attend work as their true selves, and we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We want to sustain a culture that nurtures, where employees are free to flourish and where they’re rewarded equally, regardless of race, nationality or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, or gender.

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive employer and as such, all our offices provide first rate disability access. With our hybrid working environment, we do our best to accommodate part-time and flexible working requests where possible, building on our culture of trust, empowerment, and flexibility.

Please note, Motability Operations reserves the right to bring forward the closing date of any of its job vacancies if we receive a suitable number of quality applications from which to make a shortlist. Therefore, we recommend that you apply as soon as possible rather than wait until the published closing date.
