Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

In my first rotation my role was in the Business Operations team. The main role of this team is the connector of Team Commercial, focused on delivery of business excellence and value creation enabling a Modern Luxury Client experience as one global team.
My second role included being a ‘brand guardian’ for Defender and ensuring the Defender brand world is implemented successfully and aligns to our brand values and priorities.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, one amazing thing about the placement at JLR is you are a valued individual of the company. You are doing tasks and projects that are going to make a real difference in the business!

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

You receive a large amount of support, you have your line manager, the early careers cohort lead and all your fellow peers supporting you and helping you grow. It is brilliant the amount of guidance we received in our journey at JLR but they also allowed us space to grow on our own as face challenges.
