Job Description
Role Purpose
Trainees rotate through three core departments and a mandatory rotation in a customer facing department - spending six weeks in each. The program is designed around the automotive re-commerce lifecycle and calibrated to the specific regulatory, cultural, and competitive dynamics of the UAE market.
The capstone project — an AI Automation Opportunity Map — tasks each trainee with documenting and prioritising processes across all departments that could be improved through AI or automation. The output feeds directly into Kavak GCC's AI roadmap, ensuring the program delivers strategic value beyond talent development.
Key Responsibilities:
The 12-month program is structured in 8 phases: a 2-week onboarding, six 4–6 week rotations following the vehicle lifecycle, and a 12-week capstone period. The rotation sequence is intentional — trainees build understanding from the ground up, starting with the physical product and progressing through commercial, technical, financial, and human layers.
Key milestones
Week 1 — Onboarding complete; buddy and rotation manager assigned
Week 8 — First rotation review; first AI opportunity log entry submitted
Week 24 — Mid-program review; preferred department signalled to HR
Week 36 — Full AI opportunity log submitted to People Manager & Program Manager
Week 46 — Capstone documents submitted (inventory, matrix, 3 proposals)
