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 Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles marketing department working in the digital team creating and managing website content. You will work closely with a third party digital agency in London and many internal business stakeholders to deliver a wide range of projects covering an exciting range of vehicles from the all-electric ID. Buzz to Amarok pick-up and the iconic Volkswagen Transporter. Your role will help to drive customer engagement, sales leads and loyalty for the brand targeting both consumer and b2b customers. You will also be responsible for tracking the performance and achievement of the entire marketing team's KPIs.

Volkswagen Group UK is one of the most successful automotive manufacturers in the world, with some of the most iconic brands the industry has ever seen. But we're also a great Sales, Marketing, Digital and Tech operation in our own right. We employ over 900 people, supporting a network of more than 600 retailers, and manage all aspects of vehicle sales for our six brands, from ordering and importing, to advertising and aftersales.
There's never been a more exciting time to join our industry as it undergoes the biggest transformation for over 100 years. With digitalisation, electrification and driverless mobility all coming to the market, we're actively looking for people with new skills, knowledge and outlooks.
A brave new world demands brave, new, diverse people; so whatever your background, we would love to hear from you. We know that different perspectives and thought processes are vital as our industry goes through an exciting period of change.

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, 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 interview.
