At Aston Martin, every extraordinary vehicle begins long before the first design sketch is drawn or the first prototype is built. It starts with a vision.
We're looking for a Chief Product Engineer-Strategy & Concept to help define the future of Aston Martin's product portfolio and play a key role in shaping the next generation of vehicles that will inspire customers around the world. This is a unique opportunity to operate at the heart of the business, working within the CEO function and influencing some of the most important strategic decisions the company makes.
This role sits at the point where product strategy, commercial performance and engineering excellence come together. You'll be responsible for both developing and streamlining the process and also leading the concept development that takes vehicle concepts from their earliest stages and transforms them into compelling, deliverable programmes that align with both customer expectations and Aston Martin's long-term business goals.
- Working across engineering, finance, commercial, programme management and executive leadership teams, you'll develop the balance between product content, customer appeal, technical feasibility and financial performance.
- You'll help define programme targets, guide concept development and ensure vehicle propositions are robust, exciting and commercially successful before being handed into delivery teams.
As one of the key voices in the product creation process, you'll bring together diverse viewpoints, influence senior stakeholders and navigate complex decisions where priorities can often compete. Your ability to understand the bigger picture whilst remaining focused on the detail will be essential, as you'll be responsible for ensuring alignment across the business and driving programmes towards successful outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
