Job Description
Project Management is all about spinning plates, learning how to keep multiple things flowing, and knowing which tasks take priority and need attention first. As a Project Management apprentice at Experian, you'll work in one of our business areas, gain exposure to our exciting work and unlock career opportunities.
This role sits within our Procurement team and initially you'll join us in a project management apprentice role, which will give you a fantastic insight and great grounding in the world of project management. You'll be compiling reports, shadowing calls and attending weekly team meetings for example, to build your knowledge and understanding of our business. You'll also work with our procurement teams from across the globe to help coordinate projects such as gathering environmental data from our suppliers, reducing the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain and making sure that our colleagues are on the same page when working with multi-national companies like Microsoft and SalesForce. It's a fast-paced role which requires adaptability!
The best part of it all? The support you get from Experian. We'll help you develop your skills, provide training opportunities and enable you to gain insight into business by working on real projects. Over time, you will build and develop the skills needed for a successful career in Project Management.
Alongside your role, you'll study towards a Level 4 Project Management apprenticeship with one of our partner training providers through distance learning. The duration of the course is upto 2 years and in addition to your salary, you'll benefit from fully paid tuition fees, as well as our support every step of the way.
If you choose to join us, you'll receive industry training, wide-reaching career opportunities and a wealth of support through our Early Careers Network, buddy, line manager & mentor scheme. You'll also join onto Experian's structured 2 year Early Careers Development programme, which is packed with workshops, short-courses & online material designed to help kick-start your career.
Our concept is simple. We believe in expanding horizons - it's what makes Experian a global leader and a Top UK Tech Employer.

- Due to UK government apprenticeship funding rules, you must have lived in the UK for at least 3 years and have permission from the UK government to live in the UK (not for educational purposes) or have obtained pre-settled or settled status.
