WHAT TO EXPECT

Join this team, and you’ll be helping to fuel our growth on a global scale. Finance not only sits at the very heart of our organisation, but it also affects every element of everything we do, so the decisions you make here will ripple through our business and, ultimately, all around the world.                                                                                  

The Finance team is responsible for controlling and reporting all income and spend for each of the business areas. It is also responsible for developing corporate financial strategy, consolidation and management reporting of corporate financial data, accounting and cash management, financial controls, and tax management.

As part of the 45 strong, Product Marketing Finance team, you'll work in partnership with a number of business areas across Jaguar Land Rover developing pricing strategies for our carlines globally. The Product Marketing Finance team is split into smaller teams with a focus on individual carlines, and you'll take responsibility for pricing analysis and development for specific models. This will involve significant cross-functional working and the capability to build and maintain relationships with a number of key stakeholders. This hugely varied role will provide you with opportunities to work on product lines across the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio, doing which will involve the development and delivery of pricing and product actions in support of achieving the pricing strategy, contributing positively to variable profit margin, and providing analysis of competitor specification and pricing in major markets. Additionally, you'll provide ad hoc analysis, modelling, and scenario planning to support Product Marketing teams in continuous optimisation of the Jaguar Land Rover market equation.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

An experienced finance professional, you'll be qualified or part-qualified with ACCA, CIMA, or ACA.

This role may suit an individual who has been part of a graduate training scheme with a typical accounting practice or someone who has worked in finance within industry. You'll have strong MS Excel skills paired with excellent communication ability and a track record of cross-functional working. Joining this team, you’ll have a proactive approach and the ability to take on a variety of tasks. You'll also be a team player who enjoys a varied role where no day is ever the same.

All this and more makes Jaguar Land Rover the perfect place to continue your journey.
