Programme Management Graduate Programme
JLR is on a journey, a journey to Reimagine. Our Reimagine strategy has set us on an exceptional journey of transformation, laying out a clear vision to become proud creators of modern luxury and become a carbon net zero business by 2039. Our work will set a new benchmark for luxury business in environmental, societal and community impact - and key to that is the way we deliver projects efficiently, on time and within budget.
As a Programme Management graduate, you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact on a range of exciting projects across JLR. You’ll have access to some of the most innovative and visionary industry experts, networking opportunities and invaluable industry insight.
You could work within Vehicle Programmes, Propulsion Engineering, the People (HR) function or within our Industrial Operations Programme Delivery (IOPD) team. Along the way, you’ll gain a customer-centric view of how to satisfy evolving needs and accelerate delivery to reduce time-to-market, using Agile principles to transform the way we think and work.
The programme takes two years to complete and during that time, you’ll rotate through a variety of teams across the business. This exposure to different projects and key stakeholders means you can grow your network and expand your skills at the same time, building the exceptional long-term career you’ve proved you're capable of.
