Marketing Industrial Placement

All in all over 300 people work in our Marketing department. The department is made up of four areas: Customer Strategy, Brand Strategy, Product Marketing and Group Customer Experience, all based in our Swindon Head Office. It’s a fast-paced environment and we love what we do - where else could you produce TV ads, work with the England FA and make pricing decisions that could affect millions of members?

Insider view
Director of Marketing James Boulton says: “We believe that people are more interested than ever to hear about a financial services provider that doesn’t have shareholders and that really can put customers first. At this important point in time, the organisation is looking to Marketing to help define what we stand for and bring this to life through our brand, product and customer strategy.”

The Industrial Placement
As an industrial placement student you will complete 2x6 month placements in Marketing. Your focus will be very much on getting as much work experience as you can and training and development needs will be identified by yourself, your line manager and department contact. To ensure you make the most of your experience you will be supported by a Marketing buddy.

What Do We Want From You?
We are looking for individuals who are in their penultimate year at university and are expecting to achieve at least a 2:1 degree class and have at least 260 UCAS points (excluding General Studies). There are no specific degree requirements but you will need to be able to demonstrate a passion for Marketing.

But we’re also interested in your other qualities and abilities - like your enthusiasm, initiative, communication skills, drive and confidence.
