Graduate Program

**Company Description** Are you ready to be a big part of something big?**

At carsales, we're all about making buying and selling a great experience. For 28 years we’ve been evolving with the new economy to help people choose how they move today and tomorrow.

When it comes to your career, we want to provide big opportunities to help you make a big impact. But for this to be possible, we strive to feel small. Small enough to quickly change tack, small enough to learn from different departments and small enough to connect authentically with leadership.

Not something you’d expect from one of the country’s biggest tech companies, is it?

Our **Graduates**are bright, ambitious, and ready to make a difference. They bring fresh perspectives, a strong academic foundation, and a passion for learning. Our program runs for 18 months, including 3 six-month rotations before you settle into a permanent role.

And one of the best parts? We give you the autonomy to choose the working location that best suits your lifestyle - Office, Hybrid or Anywhere (within your location of employment).

Please note Graduates must be based in Melbourne at the commencement of the program. Interstate applicants are encouraged to apply, provided they are open to relocating before the program begins.

**Qualifications** What are we looking for?**
