About Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS)

We provide finance and insurance services to customers across the entire Volkswagen Group. One of the most unexpected things about VWFS is that we don’t just provide solutions for Volkswagen. We also work with a variety of amazing brands that include Audi, SEAT, SKODA, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and MAN.

You might imagine you’ll need a finance degree and a wardrobe full of grey suits to work at VWFS. Not true. We’re smart casual in the office, informal in how we work together and we’re looking for students with diverse skills, backgrounds and ideas to join our journey.

Our Vehicle Forecasting Analyst Placement

The Asset Risk Department is responsible for forecasting the Residual Values (how much a new car will be worth in 3 years’ time) that underpin the majority of the finance we offer to our customers. We require students who have a strong attention to detail and in return, as Asset Risk has touchpoints with every department within VWFS, we can provide you with brilliant exposure to the wider business.

During your year placement you will gain experience in various disciplines to really build on the knowledge that you have already learned at University. Some of the main responsibilities include:

  • Providing analysis and forecasting recommendations to assist in setting residual values
  • Be responsible for providing senior management with both quantitative and qualitative analysis of risks on the residual value portfolio
  • Be part of a team that carries out quarterly stock audits on a variety of auction sites across the UK
  • Providing analysis for the Asset Risk and Risk Management teams, in particular identification of new and or developing risks

You’ll need to be studying towards a Business, Economics or Maths related degree, hold an interest in cars and the car industry and have a willingness to learn, whilst also being a confident communicator.

What’s in it for you?

Our 12-month placements are structured so that you can settle in, feel comfortable and as though you can start learning from day one. There’s help, support, lots of encouragement, and clear objectives which help to keep you progressing. From mentoring in local schools to formal presentations to the Board of Management, this is a varied, inspiring 12-month experience that you’ll never forget.

On top of all that you’ll receive an annual salary of £17,500, a discretionary bonus, 27 days holiday along with a new loan car every six months.
