• Monitor dealer stock levels and provide internal reports 

The ideal graduate
In order to succeed in this role, and at Polestar in general, you'll need to be detail-oriented with a high degree of accuracy. We expect you to have excellent communication skills to effectively interact with internal teams and external dealers. You'll thrive in this role if you're able to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and proactively solve problems in a fast-paced environment. 

In addition, you'll need the following qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field or plan on graduating during Spring/Summer 2025
• Proficiency in Spanish and English (both written and spoken), Portuguese is a plus
