Volkswagen Group is one of the most successful automotive manufacturers in the world, with some of the most iconic brands that the industry has ever seen. But we're also a great Sales, Marketing and Digital operation in our own right. Last year over 400,000 cars and vans were registered from the Volkswagen Group UK brands, achieving a market share of over 22% and confirming our position as the leading automotive company in the UK.

With a global target to be balance-sheet CO2 neutral by the year 2050, we are leading the automotive transition to zero emission battery electric vehicles. We're focusing on key strategic initiatives to help us become the leading provider of mobility services in the UK, digital sales, the next generation of aftersales and new efficient distribution structures to name a few.

We have a unique culture, built on difference and a friendly rivalry that inspires us all. Across our business, we learn from each other, encourage each other and regularly challenge each other to think differently, adding value to our cultural agenda. Our people have a true passion for what they do, a genuine desire to go further for customers and to give their own careers real momentum at the same time.

What will you be doing?

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 £20,000 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, an award-winning pension scheme, 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-focused individual with a determination to solve problems and raise standards. You'll be driven by a desire to understand what drives business success.

Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June/July 2022. 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 our undergraduates to be based within a reasonable radius of our Milton Keynes head office.

What's the assessment process?

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

Our final step in the journey would be for you to attend a virtual 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 also the existing student placement cohort to find out more about them and 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.

Help us protect our 30 million customers across the UK

Protecting our customers has never been more important. We support people right across the UK, from individuals and small businesses through to large corporates, including many FTSE 100 companies. They trust us because Risk teams are leading the way in keeping our bank safe. From supporting lending applications and pricing decisions to assessing the credit quality of billions of pounds of borrowing, our Risk teams enhance decision-making across the Group.

This is an opportunity to learn the latest, most sophisticated ways of identifying, quantifying, modelling and reporting on risks. What’s more, you’ll be joining us during a period of major transformation. We’re putting unprecedented levels of investment into our platforms, people and capabilities meaning lots of exciting possibilities for everyone within our Group. Including you.

Is our Risk Industrial Placement for you?

As long as you are naturally curious, a keen problem solver, and have an insatiable desire to further your skills and explore new technologies – and even learn new programming languages –we want to hear from you. And all the better if you can combine this with skills in organisation and communicating well with others.

Using intelligent methods and a host of sophisticated technologies – such as data modelling and visualisation through tools like PowerBI and Tableau – the work we do in Risk is all about helping colleagues across the Group make the right decisions for our customers. Which means we’re looking for people who can think outside the box and work creatively with data, although you’ll need to be methodical in trialling solutions too.

What you’ll learn on our Risk Industrial Placement

From the moment you start, you’ll be working alongside our experienced risk analysts to analyse and assess risk and forecast future performance. Involved in a variety of interesting tasks and projects, you’ll learn how to support the Group to make informed, accurate and fair decisions.

Our Risk teams bring together a range of specialist expertise including Credit Risk, Operational Risk, Market Risk and Liquidity modelling. Together, they provide insight to the Group so we can continue to provide the best experiences for our colleagues, customers and the communities around us.

Working across these teams, your experiences will be varied and enlightening. All teams in Risk work with a wide range of stakeholders – from commercial clients to internal teams like Finance, to group services or regulators like the Financial Conduct Authority. Meaning, at the end of your placement, you’ll have a well-rounded view of risk management and a solid foundation to start taking your skills further. Perhaps as part of our Risk Graduate Scheme, which you’ll get to apply to directly

The work you could be doing

Getting to grips with everything Credit Risk – assessment, sanctioning, monitoring, modelling, reporting and stress testing

Using data to forecast the return, pricing, default rate and capital requirements of billions of pounds of lending

Monitoring and amending intelligent decisioning models which process millions of customers each month

Early Career Investor Summer Internship

London 2023

Wellington Management offers comprehensive investment management capabilities that span nearly all segments of the global capital markets. Our investment solutions, tailored to the unique return and risk objectives of institutional clients in more than 60 countries, draw on a robust body of proprietary research and a collaborative culture that encourages independent thought and healthy debate. As a private partnership, we believe our ownership structure fosters a long-term view that aligns our perspectives with those of our clients.

We are transitioning to a hybrid work environment where both remote work and the office play a critical role. Our vision is a future where all employees are empowered to work flexibly to drive the best outcomes for our clients. Flexible work is a mindset and a core value. Our employees are encouraged to work remotely two days a week as a standard practice and will have flexibility in terms of working hours.

About the Role

We are seeking individuals to join our Early Career Investor (ECI) summer internship, starting June 2023. During the 10-12 weeks, you will assist seasoned investors in conducting independent investment research while gaining indepth exposure to the investment industry and our firm. We have 3 open positions across our Fixed Income and Equities divisions.

There are five primary components to the summer internship experience: (1) project for an investment team, (2) exposure to Investment Science (3) access to investors and business leaders across the firm to better understand our firm and its culture, (4) in-depth exposure to the investment industry, and (5) feedback and mentorship.

Investment Project

Projects are sourced from multiple areas on the Investment Platform, which includes the Investment Research, Investment Boutiques, Investment Science, and Investment Strategy groups. The origin and nature of the work will be based on the analytical needs of our investors and will mimic the work of our full-time Research Associates (the graduate investment role at Wellington). At the end of the summer, you will be given an opportunity to share and present your work, in a small group forum. Examples of previous projects include:

• Exploring the market size and growth potential of the Chinese lodging industry

• Understanding the private sales business model and market for online flash sale and coupon retailers such as Hautelook, RueLaLa, Gilt and Groupon

• Studying the municipal finance market to determine funding vulnerabilities at the state and local level

• Evaluating investment opportunities in the for-profit education industry in light of changing government regulation

• Developing a framework for evaluating valuations of gold miner equities relative to the gold commodity price

• Creating a currency hedging strategy for a multi-asset portfolio

• Conducting ESG Analysis on companies in the Interactive Media & Service sector including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok

• Developing a Transition Risk Framework that can be applied to understand the impact of these risks on the financials of a company

Exposure to Investment Science

You will work with your peers on a small project to gain Python skills and enhance your understanding of investment science skills and concepts. At the end of the summer, you and your peers will be given an opportunity to jointly share and present your work, in a small group forum. Examples of previous projects include:

• Analyzing government spending data to gain insights into the revenue for large government vendors

• Assessing CEO compensation to understand if a CEO is paid too much relative to peers

• Creating a dashboard to display COVID-19 consumer spending data

Getting to know our firm

Through a series of interactive brown bag lunches and other forums you will interact with and be exposed to seasoned investors throughout the Wellington organization. Through this exposure you will both build your network and discover what makes the Wellington experience unique.

Immersion into the world of investing

You will have the opportunity to develop and deepen your investment knowledge by attending company management meetings, participating in stock simulations, accessing the firm’s proprietary research notes and observing our daily investor Morning Meeting.

Mentorship and Feedback

You will receive training throughout the summer to develop the skills required for this internship, and a potential career in investment management. This will be through a combination of in-house sessions covering accounting, financial statement analysis, advanced Excel modeling and FactSet or Bloomberg tutorials along with continued support through strong mentorship.

Summer interns will partner with a Research Associate as well as a more senior investor who will work along with the Director of Early Career Investor Development to provide support and feedback. We seek to develop interns and early career hires through an apprenticeship model, by offering extensive one-on-one interaction with more senior investors.

What we're looking for

We focus on finding students with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences – with an emphasis on strong academic credentials and demonstrated analytical and writing abilities. Candidates should possess outstanding interpersonal and organizational skills, be resourceful and detail-oriented, and possess a strong work ethic.

We are looking for interns who have a passion for gathering information, are inquisitive, and can draw connections between, or recognize patterns among, seemingly disparate topics. An economics or finance major is not a prerequisite, and no previous investment or finance experience is required. However, candidates should be proficient with Excel and have an interest in exploring a career in finance.

Intellectually curiosity and mental flexibility, strong growth mindset, focused on continuous improvement, willingness and ability to take risk, strong learning orientation and willingness to try new things, and a broad, differentiated perspective.

Aptitude for building investment science skill sets. While no previous technical skills are needed, we are looking for individuals who are willing to learn and have an interest in the intersection of science and investing.
