AI Enablement Analyst (Graduate) The Opportunity We’re looking for a Graduate AI Enablement Analyst to join our technology team at Vertu Motors Plc. Your role will be to help colleagues across the business use AI tools to work more efficiently, reduce repetitive tasks, and improve the quality and consistency of their work. Vertu operates more than 190 dealerships, supports over 7,500 colleagues, and generates more than £4bn in annual revenue. Small productivity gains at scale make a real difference here. This role exists to find those gains and help teams adopt them confidently. You’ll work across multiple departments, observing how work is done today, identifying where time is being lost, and introducing practical AI-driven improvements to ensure the business gets the best value from its investments in AI, particularly Microsoft Copilot. This could mean helping a finance team automate reporting, enabling colleagues to eliminate repetitive tasks, or creating templates that make everyday communication faster and clearer. By championing the effective use of AI and other automation technologies, you’ll help teams realise measurable productivity gains and ensure tools are adopted confidently across the organisation. You’ll report directly to the technology leadership team, giving the role visibility and influence throughout Vertu. This is a graduate role designed for someone curious about how businesses operate and excited by the practical use of AI. You don’t need to be a developer or data scientist. Instead, you’ll need strong communication skills, logical thinking, and a willingness to experiment, learn, and help others adopt new tools. This role is hybrid. The successful candidate will ideally be based in the Northeast and will typically work around three days per week at our head office in Gateshead; however, flexibility is required, as there may be peak periods where increased office presence is necessary. The role is full time with a salary of £30,000. What You’ll Do Your first 30 days will focus on learning how the business operates, understanding our technical environment, and seeing how different teams use (or don’t use) AI tools today. You’ll shadow departments, observe workflows, and begin identifying simple opportunities for improvement. By 90 days, you’ll be running your own discovery sessions with teams, testing Copilot use cases, and creating simple guidance or prompt templates that colleagues can use day to day. You’ll start to see measurable time savings and improvements in output quality. At 6 months, you’ll be comfortable working across multiple departments, leading AI adoption initiatives, and reporting on efficiency gains. You’ll also help shape best practices, training materials, and governance approaches as AI becomes more embedded across the organisation. This is a people-facing role. You’ll spend time with colleagues in different functions, helping them build confidence with AI tools and ensuring they’re used safely and responsibly. What We’re Looking For You’ll need: Strong communication skills and confidence working with non-technical stakeholders Curiosity about how businesses operate day to day Logical, process-driven thinking Comfort learning new tools and explaining them to others Interest in AI, automation, and productivity tools A responsible, thoughtful approach to using AI in a business environment Bonus points for: Experience using Microsoft Copilot or similar AI tools A business, technology, or analytical degree Experience running workshops, presentations, or training sessions An understanding of Microsoft 365 tools (Excel, Teams, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint) What This Role Is Not Not a software engineering or data science role Not building AI models Not replacing teams - this role exists to enable them The Reality You’ll be working in a high-volume, low-margin industry where small efficiency gains can have a big impact. If you help a process that takes 30 minutes become a 5-minute task across hundreds of colleagues, that’s meaningful change. You’ll need to be comfortable talking to different types of teams, from finance and HR to dealership staff and senior leaders. Some people will be excited about AI, others may be sceptical. Your job is to help everyone feel confident and capable using these tools. We value curiosity, clear communication, and practical results over theoretical ideas. This role is about finding real improvements that make people’s jobs easier. About Vertu Motors Plc.
