  • Work with the Asset Risk Manager to ensure continuous review of methodologies used ensuring best practice is adopted by VWFS
  • You will be part of a team that carries out quarterly stock audits on a variety of auction sites across the UK where vehicles are held at the end of their contract
  • Provide analysis for the Asset Risk and Risk Management teams, in particular identification of new and or developing risks

  • Self-motivated and willingness to take own initiative
  • A good understanding of Microsoft Excel
  • Positive attitude and readiness to learn
  • An interest in data analysis, business analysis, alongside financial and accounting analysis
  • Ability to cope under pressure and meet strict deadlines.

What you’ll get:

(apart from a wealth of experience for the future…)

  • Earn whilst you learn and receive a competitive salary of £17,500 per annum plus discretionary bonus and access to company pension scheme
  • A fun and sociable workplace to start your career
  • Participate in Lifeskills workshops, designed specifically for our Undergraduates
  • Access to a discounted loan car scheme which means driving 2 brand new vehicles during your placement (a great way to make your mates jealous when you visit them at Uni)
  • Chance to make a difference in the local community with various volunteering opportunities
  • Onsite wellbeing centre – think lunchtime massages, onsite HIIT classes and health check-ups
