Human Resources

People are and always will be the driving force that make us who we are. Sourcing, attracting, retaining and rewarding these exceptional talents is the job of HR. As we continue to evolve, opportunities in HR do too, offering career paths that are as broad and as stimulating as any you are likely to experience.

Whether you’re devising bespoke training programmes for our diverse workforce, honing their skills or seeking out those with the next generation knowhow to take us to places we’ve never gone before, you’ll do it with the professionalism and insight that underpin our brand.

Our team is made up of Business Partners, Centres of Expertise and the Shared Service Centre.

Information Technology

Yesterday we were a manufacturing/engineering company. Tomorrow we’ll be a technology-led business, capable of delivering the digital experience our customers demand. This means IT – and people with a solid tech background – have a key part to play in our transformation.

As our vehicles continue to evolve into complete digital ecosystems with more compelling, engaging customer experiences, it’s creating opportunities for people with the right attitude and approach who see the world differently and can bring a fresh perspective. Ours is an agile environment where we’re fearless in challenging the norm.

Legal

Legal Affairs look after corporate governance, protection of intellectual property and the development of commercial contracts, ensure compliance with any legal requirements and pre-empt and defend legal challenges.

Risk and Compliance help us adhere to relevant laws and regulations, while ensuring ethical and proper principles are embedded within the business. The Patents team work closely with our people in R&D to identify and evaluate inventions before preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications in the UK and overseas, and support the eventual commercialisation of the patent portfolio.

Audits cover operational, commercial, compliance, and financial controls, providing assurance that the business is operating in a controlled and ethical manner, meeting all legal and regulatory requirements.

Marketing and Communications

Our recently formed Global Commercial Function is organised into five core functions: Customer Experience, Product Marketing, Market Performance, Customer Service and Planning.

Product Marketing Communications and Experiential Marketing articulate what our brands stand for to an ever-growing global audience, reaching out in new ways to surprise and disrupt while remaining true to the core values that give each its distinct personality.

Product PR works to enhance and promote our brand while safeguarding and maintaining our invaluable reputation. PR also supports and presents our leadership team and promotes our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and takes charge of government affairs.

Property

Our Property team capably delivers our ambitious growth plans across the globe. The team is structured around the property lifecycle:

Acquisition is in the hands of the Strategy & Corporate Real Estate team who support our growth aspirations, anticipate post-2020 property needs and carry out all property transactions and Landlord & Tenant relationships.

Development and Delivery is looked after by the Programmes team who manage the development and delivery of our transformational new non-manufacturing buildings and infrastructure across the full programme lifecycle.

Use is managed by the Estates Management team. Managing facilities in-life, they also manage and deliver on-site services for our colleagues.

Quality

Creating globally renowned vehicles in a class of their own means applying a quality mindset at every stage of a product’s lifecycle. Design. Engineering. Manufacturing. Customer Service. Nothing is left to chance. This degree of diligence relies on our ability to use key metrics and advanced problem-solving techniques to fine tune our processes, products and customer service quality levels.

So there are a wide range of areas you can specialise in: Quality Engineering; Quality Assurance; Quality Operations; Quality Powertrain; Quality Strategy; and Product Compliance. Together you’ll maintain our reputation in the marketplace by developing invaluable relationships with our suppliers and creating inspired processes that deliver time and time again.

Purchasing

The JLR Global Purchasing team performs an integral role in a truly global automotive business. The team is responsible for the development of our industry-leading vehicles and the procurement of key products and services that add value to our business. Global Purchasing takes the lead in key strategic decisions, forging robust supplier relationships that have a significant impact on our ability to produce products to the premium quality our customers expect. This means making every penny we spend each year count towards the value we deliver in a highly competitive marketplace.

The Global Purchasing team is now well over 1,300 strong managing suppliers from vast global markets with offices in the UK, China, India, Slovakia, Austria, Brazil, Hungary and the USA.

Meticulous attention to detail and incisive negotiation skills are deployed on our behalf with scrupulous corporate social responsibility in mind. As we shift our manufacturing output to focus on JLR’s Re-Imagine strategy - the scope to influence our future – while developing your own – has never been greater.

Our teams within Global Purchasing play an important part in ensuring customers receive a product which exceeds their expectations whilst also delivering value to the business. To achieve this we consider Quality, Cost, Delivery, Innovation and Sustainability as measures of the value it has influence over, carefully balancing and considering these in its decision-making processes.

JLR's Re-imagine strategy places sustainability at the centre of everything we do. The transition to battery electric vehicles will create even more focus on production and supply chain sustainability. As a member of our Global Purchasing team, your role in driving sustainable procurement practices and behaviours throughout our supply chain will be critical to the future success of our business.

Diversity and Inclusion is key to the future of our Global Purchasing function. Our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to being a function that fosters and encourages a diverse and inclusive culture, representative of our global customers.
