About Mars

Think M&Ms, Uncle Ben’s, Pedigree, Whiskas and Wrigley, iconic billion-dollar brands. Think the world’s third-largest food company, generating annual revenues of more than $30billion and international operations in 370 locations. Think Mars.

Mars was founded in 1911 and as a privately owned business, with no shareholders to answer to, we enjoy unusual levels of freedom when it comes to how we operate. Everything we do is driven by our five principles: Freedom, Mutuality, Responsibility, Quality and Efficiency. Working here is about more than just a job. It’s about having ideas and ideals. Finding ways to do business better today than we did it yesterday and not being afraid to risk failure in order to do that.

The Role

If the idea of being able to work cross-function and learn about all areas of our business appeals to you, then working within our technology and IS division could be for you. As the global IT division with Mars Inc, our role is to ensure the business benefits from exceptional IT leadership, digital connectivity and a world-class IS. Our objectives are to use information services to give us competitive edge; developing solutions to solve critical business problems; increasing efficiency, reducing costs and sharing knowledge. It is not about taking a supporting role.

This industrial placement programme offers a unique and rewarding experience within a fast paced global organisation. Your 12 month journey with us will give you the opportunity and freedom to pursue a variety of areas within a business environment. You will be given real responsibility from the outset and will be provided with the skills and knowledge in order to work both independently and collaboratively in a truly global environment. We are currently looking for a student to join our Information Services division based in Slough, Berkshire.

What will I be doing?

We are keen to provide you with the development opportunities to build a successful business career before you’ve even graduated. You will be given the responsibility to take on a real job where you will make decisions and overcome challenges. We are looking for individuals who want to be involved in the bigger picture and are keen to develop new skills and experiences such as:

• Business management skills
• Project Management
• Personal development and learning
• Networking
• Presentation skills
• Creating business systems
• Building relationships with the business and the associates on a regional and global scale

Requirements:

In order to apply for our 12 month Placement Programme you must be currently enrolled on a University program, which allows you to complete a 12-month Industrial Placement year. Ideally we are looking for students on a Business management and IT degree. An understanding and interest in Business and IT is essential.
