Our Commercial team is constantly evolving to ensure we continue to
offer differentiated, modern luxury brands that attract and retain
customers in a fast-changing digital world. With a new organisational
structure to deliver our Reimagine strategy, we are focusing on the key
pillars of growth, digital transformation, simplicity and go to market.

commercial vision across the Range Rover, Defender, Discovery and Jaguar
portfolios – each iconic and each with its own interpretation of modern
luxury.
On the Commercial Undergraduate Programme, you can decide to work within
our core Commercial team or Commercial Analytics team. You will be

needs.
Commercial Undergraduate Programme
Our Commercial function is undergoing a profound transformation to drive

pivotal role in making this happen.
The Commercial Undergraduate scheme provides real insight into working

As you help to plan, grow and fine-tune our business, you will undertake
two different placements with digital and business teams, whilst
delivering a transformation mission as part of a group. From day one,

Commercial Analytics Undergraduate Programme
At the heart of our data analytics team, you will grow your technical
analytics and data science skills and gain a deep understanding of tools

technical roles – we will ensure you understand the broader strategic
context that will enable you to turn theoretical potential into
real-life business value. In short, you will learn how to make the
complicated simple and relatable, setting you up for a wide range of
roles. The insight you gain into machine learning, visualisation and
data engineering will open up endless possibilities with JLR – so the
only limit on your progress will be your ambition.
