Our Placement Programme
At MMT we have an exciting future ahead of us and we want to share that with you through our placement programme and we offer students the opportunity to grow and learn with us across a number of placement positions
We are proud of our placement programme and rightly so as over the last 20 years we have seen this grow and develop and many students who have been through placements with us have returned to us after graduation, kickstarting their careers in their chosen field in a Digital Transformation Agency, working alongside some of our global partners such as Vodafone, BP and Virgin Atlantic.
Our Finance Director and Chief Technology Officer, both started at MMT as placement students when we say we take your career seriously we mean it! In addition to learning on the job, we have a dedicated placement student programme run by our experienced Lamp;D team who will help you thrive not just in the technical aspects of your role, but by immersing you in the world of business, your own personal brand and providing a number of socialisation days to help you thrive in your career.
As a small company with a large reach you will get hands on exposure with our senior leaders, access to dedicated and tailored Learning amp; Development to support you throughout the year and an opportunity to come together with your placement cohort on a regular basis to learn from each other. As part of MSQ partners (an international group of creative agencies) if you are in our London Office (which is opposite the Royal Opera House, right in Covent Garden) you will also be working alongside these partner agencies. Did we mention that we also have a free bar in London on a Thursday to say thank you to all our staff?
If you are looking for a placement opportunity that could kick start your career, give you responsibility from day one and one that provides an exciting learning opportunity and are motivated, aspirational with the aptitude to succeed then we’d love to hear from you.
Depending on the role, you will be based out of our Uppingham Office in the Midlands, our Leeds Office in the North, or our London Office but you will need to on occasion travel to other offices when you are not working from home. Students should be able to get themselves to our offices.
Please note you must currently hold valid UK Right to Work documentation in order to take up this position and be a student in your placement year. We are interviewing on a rolling basis so please do apply at your earliest opportunity.
