Volkswagen Group UK is wholly owned by Volkswagen AG and is one of the most successful automotive manufacturers in the world, with some of the most iconic brands that the industry has ever seen. But we're also a great Sales & Marketing operation in our own right.

In Group IT, we have a unique culture, built on diversity, difference and friendship that inspires us all. What really sets us apart is how we work – not how many vehicles we sell.  We learn from each other, encourage each other, and regularly challenge each other to think differently. Our people have a true passion for what they do, a genuine desire to go further for customers and to give their own careers real momentum at the same time.

The automotive industry is transforming. The rise of EVs, increased connectivity, shared mobility, changing customer expectations, and the technological revolution have brought a raft of new challenges.

The scale of this shift in the way we work means a new focus for IT professionals who are tasked with delivering business change to match Volkswagen Group’s ambitious strategy.

We’re providing innovative solutions, maintaining applications, and optimising security. We're experts in our business processes and systems, and leaders of vast transformation programmes.

As part of the team, we'd expect you to be in the office at least one day a week – Team Tuesday –   where you will meet and work with colleagues face-to-face.

We are responsible for projects right across Volkswagen Group UK, so you'll find the work varied and challenging, and there’s plenty of opportunity to spread your wings and become involved in more initiatives.

So what can we offer you?

We know people value different things, so along with a competitive salary, car, fuel card and a discretionary bonus, we offer a wide range of flexible benefits to suit you and your lifestyle.
