To mark this exciting milestone, we're recruiting Product Specialists who can deliver a customer experience as exceptional as our new showrooms and vehicle ranges.
We're not just recruiting staff.
We're looking for future stars.

What is a Product Specialist?

* Engage with customers, presenting and demonstrating vehicles

* Working in a people-focused role but lacking career progression
* Looking for structured training and development
* Or simply ready for a more dynamic, fulfilling career
…This could be your opportunity to step into a role with real growth potential, where your energy and motivation matter more than prior sales experience.

* Learn about the Donnelly Group — our people, culture and processes
* Gain knowledge of the Volkswagen Group brands and vehicles
* Develop selling, communication and emotional intelligence skills
* Understand customer behaviour to create memorable experiences
After completing the 4-week training programme, you'll be ready to welcome customers into our new showroom — with continuous development and support as you progress in your career.
