About the Role

Our people-centred culture, combined with our tech and data expertise makes us one of the UK's leading companies and a great place to start your career in finance.

As a FTSE 100 company, we work in a fast-paced and agile environment, which means collaboration is vital. Our finance team act as trusted business partners and provide insightful information and analysis to help the business make strategic and operational decisions. The team is made up several areas such as Core Finance Services, Management Reporting, Commercial Finance, Governance, Financial Reporting and Pricing. As a graduate, you will have the opportunity to rotate these areas so that you develop a diverse range of experience. As part of your development, you'll complete the ACCA or CIMA qualification via a level 7 Apprenticeship in Accountancy/Taxation, the choice of qualification will be your decision.

All of our graduates start their journey at our in-house academy. You don't have to be a car enthusiast to work here so upon joining; we'll grow your knowledge of the automotive industry so you can truly understand our customers and what we do as a business. You'll develop into a qualified finance professional through hands-on experience and development opportunities. You will also collaborate with the graduate network to complete cross-functional projects and attend workshops that will allow you to gain strategic insight into our business and our operating priorities. We'll support this further with conferences, graduate network and one-to-one coaching and mentoring. As you progress through the programme, you'll help our community through STEM Ambassador initiatives, mentoring and volunteering days.

What we're looking for

You'll be highly numerate, commercially minded and be passionate about a career in finance. Your natural curiosity will allow you to investigate and understand complex problems quickly. Coupled with your enthusiastic and analytical approach to problem-solving, will help you deliver innovative solutions and outcomes.

Benefits and more

We offer a starting salary of £26,000 and a flexible benefits package, including a pension scheme, healthcare and 28 days annual leave (not inc. bank holidays) plus ½ day afternoon closures on Christmas and New Year's Eve. You'll also have the opportunity to join masterclasses, attend conferences, and have access to coaching and mentoring.

Everyone is unique in their way, and we are looking for people from all walks of life to become part of our inclusive culture. We're committed to making Auto Trader a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone. Diversity for us means respect for and appreciation of differences in gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, race and ethnic origin, religion and faith, marital status, social, educational background and way of thinking. Our dedication is to ensure you get the chance to be the best that you can be, showcase your full potential and make the right choice for you.

Our graduate programme starts in October 2021, and the deadline for applications is Sunday 1st November 2020.

Company

Auto Trader is the UK's number one motoring digital marketplace and is a business with a 40-year old heritage. However, in the last 3 years we have migrated from our historic print product to become a purely digital business. A migration that is recognised throughout the UK as the most successful resulting in Autotrader.co.uk receiving 58.5 million cross platform visits a month, delivering over 250 million advert views to the 13,500 car dealerships that advertise with us.  

We work in an Agile and Lean environment and collaboration is absolutely key to the way we work. Our cross functional team structure brings people together; this diversity of thought and experience encourages us to continually push the boundaries of what we deliver to our customers.  Diversity & Inclusion is sometimes viewed as a ‘nice to have’, for Auto Trader it’s part of our DNA and values. We aren’t just a great place to work but a part of the community with a responsibility to utilise our time, skills and capabilities to improve society at large
