The Vacancy
Let us tell you more about the opportunity
Are you curious about how data shapes real‑world decisions? Do you enjoy working with numbers, spotting patterns, and turning insight into action? If you’re looking for a graduate role where your analysis genuinely matters - this could be the perfect place to start.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate to build a career at the intersection of data analytics, financial services, and the automotive market, with a clear pathway for progression as you grow. Residual value is the predicted future value of a vehicle - and it plays a crucial role in pricing, risk management, and portfolio performance. In this role, your work will help shape commercially sound decisions, protect the business from risk, and ensure our pricing remains competitive and data‑led.
Here at Aldermore, your growth matters. We'll champion your development through a structured and targeted programme.
What will your day look like?
1. Monitor and analyse vehicle residual value performance across different products and vehicle cohorts.
2. Compare forecast versus actual vehicle sale values to identify trends, drivers of variance, and emerging risks.
3. Produce regular reports and insights to support pricing, portfolio management, and decision‑making.
4. Carry out ad hoc analysis to answer commercial and risk‑focused questions from stakeholders.
5. Manage, maintain, and improve residual value datasets, assumptions, and tracking tools.
6. Extract, manipulate, and analyse data using tools such as Excel and other analytical systems, ensuring accuracy and quality.
7. Support dashboards and MI reporting, identifying opportunities to improve automation and efficiency.
8. Track external automotive market trends and benchmark internal assumptions against market data.
This role is designed to grow with you, offering increasing responsibility as your skills develop.
What do we expect from you?
We’re looking for graduates who are curious, analytical, and excited about using data to solve problems. You’ll bring:
9. A degree in a numerate subject such as Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, Finance, Statistics, or similar (graduated in 2024, 2025, or 2026)
10. Strong numerical and analytical skills with great attention to detail
11. Confidence working with structured datasets
12. Advanced Excel skills (experience with SQL, SAS, Python or Power BI is a bonus, not a must)
13. The ability to explain data and insights clearly
14. A proactive mindset and enthusiasm for learning
Training and development will be provided, and no prior industry experience is required.
What can you expect from us?
15. Hybrid working policy – 2 days onsite in our central Cardiff office, 3 days working from home
16. Structured and targeted development programme to support your career
17. A friendly and flexible culture, the same as how we work with our customers
18. A growing organisation that means there’s lots of opportunities to progress
19. A drive for continuous improvement, which you will be empowered to get behind from day one
