Dublin, Ireland

START WITH WHAT ENERGISES YOU.

BMW Financial Services is a supportive place to start building a career. The intern will work with experienced colleagues who are willing to share their knowledge, explain how things work, and give practical guidance along the way. The role is not about knowing everything from day one. It is about being curious, reliable, and open to learning.

During the internship, the intern will build practical skills in regulatory research, clear writing, use of business tools, meeting preparation, governance processes, stakeholder communication, and document management. These are transferable skills that will be useful whether the intern continues in Compliance or moves into another area of financial services or business.

The intern will also have opportunities to connect with other BMW interns, including colleagues working with the National Sales Company. This will help them build a wider network, understand different parts of the BMW business, and learn from others who are at a similar stage in their careers.
