Audi Graduate Program: Logistics Planner – Supply Chain Digitalization (Ingolstadt, Germany)

Job Overview

AUDI AG has opened a place on its Graduate Program for candidates interested in starting a career in supply chain and logistics planning. The role is based at Audi’s headquarters site in Ingolstadt, Germany, and is aimed at recent graduates rather than experienced professionals. Successful candidates join a structured, multi-year rotational program rather than a single fixed desk role, giving early-career hires broad exposure across the business before settling into a permanent position.

About the Role

The position sits within Audi’s Supply Chain Planning function, which is responsible for designing how materials, parts, and information move through the company’s vehicle production network — from the earliest planning stages of a new vehicle project through to full implementation. The team works closely with other internal departments as well as external suppliers to keep these logistics processes efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible.

A distinguishing feature of this particular graduate opening is its digital and analytics focus: the successful candidate will help apply automation, data analysis, and modern planning tools to logistics network design, rather than working purely on traditional manual planning methods.

Language Skills

• Fluent English and German, at a minimum B2 level in both languages

Other Qualifications

• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability; familiarity with optimization techniques or Operations Research is a plus
