Digital Content & Marketing Undergraduate Placement

Job Description

About The Role

What will you be doing?

A placement here will immerse you in a busy, high-achieving marketing function for an internationally recognised brand. You'll be a core part of our marketing department to deliver national, local and digital campaigns across numerous channels whilst tracking the performance and achievement of KPIs. You'll drive customer engagement, sales leads and loyalty for our brands, whilst working on some of the most innovative communications projects across the automotive industry.

What's in it for you?

As an undergraduate on one of our placements, you'll receive a £23,000 salary, as well as 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, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant and shopping discounts.

What do you need?

To be successful in this team you'll have ambition, a creative vision and a desire to learn. You’ll have the ability to self-manage projects and deadlines and produce results, demonstrating an aptitude for communication.

Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2025. You should be on a sandwich degree or course which offers a one-year industrial placement. 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 undergraduates to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office.

What's the assessment process?

Once you have hit the apply button, you will be asked to complete numerical and situational judgement assessments. If you successfully complete these, we will invite you to an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know a little more about you.

Our final step in the journey would be for you to attend a face-to-face assessment centre, where you will take part in a range of activities based on real life tasks. You will also have a chance to meet some of our managers and the existing student placement cohort to find out more about the scheme.

This process is designed to help us both work out if a placement here is the right step for you. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre.
