Commercial Leadership Graduate

Job Description

Ready to grow your potential? Join us on our Commercial Leadership Graduate Scheme to shape customer-first strategies, test digital journeys, and drive revenue innovation—all while widening your skills and earning £35,000, as well as a £2,000 welcome bonus!

Make things happen

You’ll complete three 8-month rotations across Consumer Strategy & Insights, Digital, and Commercial, giving you a comprehensive view of how our Commercial team drives value for our customers. This role involves a steep learning curve as you rotate between different areas. You'll need to adapt quickly to new teams, processes, and priorities. This exposure is precisely what makes the program valuable for long-term career development. Day-to-day responsibilities you could get involved in include:

* Analyse dashboards to uncover customer insights and spot trends that shape digital experiences

* Support test-and-learn experiments by trialling website and app changes to drive continuous improvement

* Research emerging trends and present insights to the wider team, at various levels across the business

* Monitor competitor activity and contribute fresh ideas to enhance product offerings and sales

When you join us, you’ll begin by shadowing team members before gradually taking ownership of tasks and supporting ongoing projects. You’ll be given clear responsibilities and the chance to build confidence in your skills with plenty of guidance from your team.

With inclusivity at our hearts, we’re 100% committed to having a workforce that represents every part of our society, so we’re keen to hear from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances. The only barrier to applying would be if you didn’t have the right to work in the UK and were unable to obtain it without our support.

Next steps

If we feel like a place where you can belong, we'd love to learn more about you as a person and your experience to date. Once you've submitted an application the next steps of the process, if successful, are likely to include an online test, a telephone interview, a coaching call and an assessment centre. When you apply, you'll be asked about any adjustments you might need to support the recruitment process. Let us know, and we'll be sure to discuss it with you. Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert, therefore we may bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. If you’re offered a job with us, it will be conditional, based on the passing of background checks. All roles require a criminal record check and some roles need a financial probity check. Your recruiter can provide you with more information if needed. Thanks for your patience and for showing an interest in joining the Virgin Media O2 family.
