About The Position

Ever wonder how a company decides where to spend millions of dollars — and how it knows if that money actually paid off? We’re looking for a Finance Intern to join our Inventory Solutions Finance team at Cox Automotive — home to Manheim, the world’s largest wholesale auto auction. In this role, you’ll get to dive into challenging projects, interact with experts and see your contributions come to life. If you have a passion for finance and an interest in building a successful career, we invite you to join us this summer.

Cox Automotive is investing heavily in technology to bring our marketplace strategy to life — connecting our physical auctions and digital channels into one seamless experience for clients. Deciding how much to spend is the easy half. Knowing whether that spend is paying off is the hard half. That’s your project. Here’s more on what that’ll look like:

Learning our marketplace strategy and the major technology investments that support it.
Connecting the dots between each investment and the part of the strategy it supports, so leaders can see where the money is going and why.
Building a simple, repeatable framework to evaluate those investments — financial impact where we can measure it, and other forms of value like efficiency, speed or a better client experience where we can’t.
Analyzing raw data and then repackaging, simplifying and determining key takeaways from the results.
Testing your framework against real investments to see what it tells us.
Assisting with the development of presentations for an executive-level audience.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Analytics or a related field.
• Comfortable in Excel and curious about working with data — you don’t need to be an expert.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, and you feel comfortable speaking honestly to all levels of the business.
• Solid analytical and research abilities.
• Currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer without current or future sponsorship.

• Learning our marketplace strategy and the major technology investments that support it.
