About Volkswagen Group UK

We’re driven by difference. With five big brands under one roof – each with its own history, designs and inventions – 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. Whatever drives you – whether it’s curiosity, adventure, collaboration or growth – at Volkswagen Group, you’ll find a career path that matches your ambitions.

Sales Operations and Support Placement

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 and project management across our retail network.

What's in it for you?

As an Undergraduate on one of our placements, you’ll receive a £17,500 salary, as well as a new car every four 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, an award-winning pension scheme, a range of flexible benefits, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant and shopping discounts. Upon completion, you’ll also have the opportunity to be considered for our Graduate Programme.

What do you need?

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 student at a UK university who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for 12 months from June 2018. You should be on a sandwich degree or course which offers a one-year industrial placement. We have a duty of care to our people and wouldn't want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require Undergraduates to be based within a 20 mile radius of our Milton Keynes head office.

What’s the assessment process?

If you pass our initial CV screening stage, you’ll be invited to a telephone interview where you’ll be asked a number of questions to assess your suitability for the placement. If you’re identified as a stand-out candidate, we’ll invite you to one of our assessment centres, where you’ll meet some of our Managers and other Undergraduates. This process is designed to help us both work out if a Placement here is right for you. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre.
