Marketing and Events Management Graduate Scheme 2025

This is a great opportunity to be in a new part of our business within the Burnaston Refurb & Customisation centre (BRC). The BRC work both with internal team members and external partners on projects within the vehicle lifecycle, including accessory fitments, customisation & conversions, servicing, repair and remarketing of used vehicles. Our latest project is looking at how to recycle end of life vehicles back into new vehicles.

You will join a great group of individuals that make up a successful team. We have ambitious plans to grow the department significantly over the next few years, which includes winning new business and increasing the size of the team.

Your Time Here:

Here at Toyota, we develop members ready for both now and the future, focusing on both personal and professional development. Over the two-year scheme, you'll get to see the breadth of our business, receiving responsibility that will stretch your problem-solving skills and introduce you to people at all levels. It will be a challenging scheme consistently testing your abilities, and you’ll receive plenty of support from your mentor, managers, and colleagues.

Working within the Corporate Team, you will be supporting the development of our network, working with stakeholders both within TMUK and beyond. We are adopting a "One Team” approach working with our partners Toyota Motor Europe and Toyota Great Britain. Through these networks you will work with the stakeholders to understand their needs and turn this into a viable internal business plan. This will allow you to make recommendations on future business opportunities to aid senior management decision making.

BRC is a new and rapidly expanding area therefore you will have the opportunity to heavily influence how the area runs, and its consequent results, through your knowledge and activity. You will become the first point of contact for external One Toyota customers and be the lead facilitator for all BRC external visits. You’ll also be responsible for representing the company at various external events/exhibitions. Your ability to communicate well, grow your own networks and present yourself and the project you champion is therefore essential.

Potential Trainee Specialist (Graduate) Projects include:

• Designing product promotion material and implementing it in the sales network
• Planning and coordinating VIP events
• Understanding market demands with our sales team to make recommendations on future profitable projects

All graduates will take part in six weeks of line training. This will mean that for those six weeks you will work on an area where we build the cars on the shop floor. This experience is extremely rewarding and interesting and gives you a real hands-on insight into what Toyota Manufacturing is all about. We believe this experience is crucial for your personal development and rather unique to our company.

We place great emphasis on learning by doing - usually through structured, on-the-job training. Our graduate programme is assessed and designed to help you reach the standard needed to move into a specialist position at the end of the 2-year programme.

What we look for:

Alongside having a consistently excellent academic record, with a minimum 2:1 predicted degree result, we are looking for people who eagerly want to learn from others and are motivated to take on new challenges with a positive mindset. We believe that there's always a better way, therefore if you share our values and thrive on analysing problems from different angles to develop solutions, you could go a long way with us. Similarly, taking a practical approach to your work is important – you will need to be as comfortable on the shop floor as you are in the office, conducting "go-look-see” activities to visualise problems and logically apply countermeasures with supporting data. BRC is a fast-paced environment where teamworking matters, therefore good interpersonal skills and effective communication are essential to ensure collaboration across projects. You’ll need great organisational skills and be competent in Microsoft Office applications.

Applications from all degree disciplines are welcome to ensure we create a diverse workforce.
