The Role:
VSSM Canada is hiring co-op students to support Vehicle Sales, Service & Marketing. Rather than being assigned to one team for the full term, each co-op rotates across multiple VSSM functions — including Retail Operations, Distribution, Data & AI, Field Teams, the Dealer Organization, and Operations Finance — to build a well-rounded, end-to-end understanding of how GM Canada goes to market. The cohort works both independently within host teams and collaboratively as a group on shared, cross-functional projects that improve VSSM-wide efficiency and workflows. Expect frequent interaction with leaders across multiple VSSM functions and with GM Canada's Leadership Team.
Key Responsibilities:
· Rotate across multiple VSSM functions over the 12-month term (e.g., Retail Operations, Distribution, Data & AI, Field Teams, Dealer Organization, and Operations Finance), gaining a full Vehicle Sales & Service Management (VSM) experience

· Participate in a cohort-wide collaborative project focused on cross-functional process efficiency and workflow improvements
· Take an active role in planning and implementing sales, retail, and operational strategies alongside host teams
· Assist with retail incentive program evaluation, analytics, and insight generation

· Assist with the development of sales, retail, and marketing materials for a range of internal and dealer-facing stakeholders
· Support employee, dealer, and field communications across the functions the cohort touches
· Coordinate activities across functions including Retail, Brand Marketing, Distribution, Dealer Organization, and Digital Innovation
· Enthusiastically embrace special assignments and new projects as they arise across any VSSM function
Required Qualifications:
· Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Financial Analytics, Data Science, Marketing, Data Analytics, or a related field
· Able to work full-time, 40 hours per week for a 12-month term (consecutive semesters) starting January 2027
· Have a valid Full Class G Ontario driver's license, or equivalent Canadian out-of-province license
Preferred Qualifications:
· Previous related experience in business analysis, sales, marketing, finance, or operations — through work experience or prior co-op/internship terms
· Previous experience in the automotive industry, or a strong curiosity about it
· Comfortable working across multiple teams, leaders, and stakeholders in a rotational, matrixed environment
· Willingness to travel across GM Canada's VSSM functions/locations as rotations and projects require, and openness to relocation across Canada should full-time opportunities be offered
Desired Skills:
Interpersonal & Collaboration
· Outstanding interpersonal and relationship-management skills, with the ability to build effective working relationships across a rotational, cross-functional organization and with varying levels of leadership
· Strong team-orientation and ability to collaborate with peers across the co-op cohort on shared projects
Communication & Presentation
· Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex information for broad audiences
· Strong presentation skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for stakeholders ranging from field and dealer teams to GM Canada's Leadership Team
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
· High ability to deal with ambiguity; takes initiative and is self-directed, particularly when moving between functions on a rotational schedule
· Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and organizational skills, applied across varied functional contexts (retail, distribution, dealer, finance, field)
· Consistently demonstrates innovative, customer-centric thinking
· Evidence of strong character, with integrity, honesty, accountability, and trust
· Excellent project management skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and rotations at any given time
Data & Analytics

· Data Orchestration: Assist in transitioning legacy spreadsheets to a Databricks-backed environment to enable more scalable, real-time analysis and forecasting
· AI Proficiency: Familiarity with enterprise AI search tools (e.g., Glean) and low-code automation platforms (e.g., Power Automate) to drive operational efficiency
· Modern Data Stack: Exposure to big data environments like Databricks for handling large-scale automotive datasets beyond standard Excel limitations
· Fundamental digital literacy, including MS Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint, with an emphasis on Excel and Power BI
