Job description
Charge up your career
It takes courage to challenge the ordinary. We're looking for graduates who've got the confidence, ambition and ability to charge up their career and to help drive change at Volkswagen Group UK.
About the Programme
With training and support to stretch your skills, take responsibility and explore your interests, our graduate programme is a great launchpad for your career. Life here is far from ordinary, it's full of unexpected challenges, opportunities and fantastic rewards.
Our two-year structured scheme gives you all the support and development you need to help reshape the way the world moves. You’ll enjoy a range of placements to develop your skills, share your ideas and be a valued member of each team.
On our Reporting & Analytics Graduate Programme, you’ll spend time across our Product Planning teams who make sure our cars meet customer needs and are competitive and available when they want them. You’ll contribute to ensuring our brands continue to deliver the cars our customers love.
Product: In your product rotation, you’ll provide insight and analysis to support decision making on new model line ups, the lifecycle management of our cars and their specifications and pricing.
Tactical: You’ll work within our tactical teams to develop and track the performance of a range of incentive campaigns to help our brands achieve their sales and order targets.
Sales Planning & Supply: In this rotation you’ll support in the planning and reporting of sales and order take and provide insight into key market and segment trends.
What's in it for you?
As a Graduate, you'll start on a £31,800 salary and get a new car every six months (as long as you have a full, clean UK driving licence). You'll also receive 27 days' holiday – plus bank holidays – a discretionary bonus, pension scheme, a range of flexible benefits, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant, cycle to work scheme and shopping/entertainment discounts.
What we are looking for
We're looking for people who are curious, have a drive to succeed and seek out opportunities to learn, develop and stretch themselves. If you share that desire and want to be a part of our success, you're a good match.
You'll need to hold or be working towards a degree in any discipline. We are particularly keen to receive applications from students with a passion for interpreting complex information and communicating trends and outcomes to multiple stakeholders.
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 graduates to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office. You'll also need to have the right to work in the UK.
