About our client
Aston Martin stands for exclusivity - and that applies to the people who work for the company as much as their cars. However, if you can share their vision, have a desire to understand the business, and can show that you have the commitment and skill they are looking for, then that is all that matters. Aston Martin are committed to a policy of equal opportunities - they do not just welcome a diversity of background and culture - they need that diversity to succeed.

You will find an open, friendly environment and a company that is small enough to offer you the challenge of a real accountability to deliver combined with the opportunity of a breadth of experience that is difficult to match.

What's on offer
Excellent Salary & Benefits
