Careers and Graduates

It feels good knowing that your ideas have connected people around the world to technology. But that’s not the only way you can create an impact in Marketing. In fact, there are countless ways to make a name for yourself. Building productive relationships, for instance, and creating new opportunities.

If you have strong academic qualifications in either business or marketing, you won’t find a better professional training programme than the MACH Marketing Academy. Global in scope, it lasts for two years and is aimed at graduates or post-graduates who want to travel internationally for their training, while working in a role within the UK business.

Whether we’re talking about home entertainment, business solutions, mobile devices or Microsoft® Windows® client products, marketing strategy is integral to our success. Each product will have its own field marketing, as well as highly visible PR and advertising vehicles. If you have the curiosity we’re looking for, you’ll no doubt spend much of your time thinking of new and original ways to approach the market and increase customer response. We’ll also be looking for creativity, customer focus, enthusiasm and communication skills.

Key features of the Marketing Academy:

• Support from both your manager and a dedicated mentor
• Eight weeks of formal residential training in Europe and the US
• Opportunity to build a network of colleagues and friends from across the world
• Possibility of travel to countries such as Portugal or Poland or Germany.

As well as giving you essential generic training in the Microsoft culture and in vital presentation skills, we’ll provide you specific marketing and product training and ensure you have a good grasp of sales and negotiation techniques. You’ll also have the opportunity to build your general business acumen, allowing you to play a key role at the centre of the organisation.
