Finance Intern

Ever wonder how a company decides where to spend millions of dollars — and how it knows if that money actually paid off? We’re looking for a Finance Intern to join our Inventory Solutions Finance team at Cox Automotive — home to Manheim, the world’s largest wholesale auto auction. In this role, you’ll get to dive into challenging projects, interact with experts and see your contributions come to life. If you have a passion for finance and an interest in building a successful career, we invite you to join us this summer.

What You’ll Do

• Learning our marketplace strategy and the major technology investments that support it.
• Connecting the dots between each investment and the part of the strategy it supports, so leaders can see where the money is going and why.
• Building a simple, repeatable framework to evaluate those investments — financial impact where we can measure it, and other forms of value like efficiency, speed or a better client experience where we can’t.
• Analyzing raw data and then repackaging, simplifying and determining key takeaways from the results.
• Testing your framework against real investments to see what it tells us.
• Assisting with the development of presentations for an executive-level audience.

What’s In It for You?

• Own a project with no existing playbook — your recommendation will be shared with senior finance and business leaders.
• Grow your financial acumen through hands-on experience building business cases and sizing impact.
• See how finance partners with technology, product and operations teams to get work done.
• Develop your professional skills with real accountability and feedback from your manager and assigned mentor.
• Network with company leaders and expand your professional network.

Who You Are

• You’re curious, comfortable with a question that doesn’t have an obvious answer, and you like explaining complicated things in plain language. We care more about how you think than what you already know.
• Are currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Analytics or a related field.
• Are comfortable in Excel and curious about working with data — you don’t need to be an expert.
• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills, and you feel comfortable speaking honestly to all levels of the business.
• Have solid analytical and research abilities.
• Are currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer without current or future sponsorship.

Drug Testing

To be employed in this role, you’ll need to clear a pre-employment drug test. Cox Automotive does not currently administer a pre-employment drug test for marijuana for this position. However, we are a drug-free workplace, so the possession, use or being under the influence of drugs illegal under federal or state law during work hours, on company property and/or in company vehicles is prohibited.
