Leading the future in luxury electric and mobility

At Lucid, we set out to introduce the most captivating, luxury electric vehicles that elevate the human experience and transcend the perceived limitations of space, performance, and intelligence. Vehicles that are intuitive, liberating, and designed for the future of mobility.

We plan to lead in this new era of luxury electric by returning to the fundamentals of great design – where every decision we make is in service of the individual and environment. Because when you are no longer bound by convention, you are free to define your own experience.

Come work alongside some of the most accomplished minds in the industry. Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

Lucid Motors is looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Used Car Operations Intern to support our developing Used Car Program in Europe. In this internship, you’ll gain working knowledge on how premium EVs are managed after first ownership, how vehicles are received, inspected, refurbished, priced, tracked, and prepared for resale. You’ll work closely with business stakeholders on Sales, Service, Finance, Marketing, and Sales Operations teams, and help build clear processes and reporting that enable a smooth customer experience. This role is ideal for a student who enjoys creative problem-solving, data analysis, and cross-team collaboration, and who wants practical experience in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
