Group Fleet Strategy Project Manager

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Group Fleet and Insights Operations team as a Group Fleet Strategy Project Manager on a full time permanent basis.

This is a leadership role, taking ownership in driving implementation of key strategic projects in tandem with tracking progress of all strategic initiatives across the Fleet. You'll take direct responsibility as business lead for certain complex, ‘unknown outcome' projects e.g., evolve existing online/eCommerce Fleet capability.

Some of the many key activities delivered in this role include; acting as the consolidated ‘Voice of Fleet' within cross-functional Group projects, for example, systems programme, designing, managing and driving the implementation of projects of key strategic initiatives, and engaging with Brand factories, Group Fleet International and VWFS Fleet to ensure a common understanding of the UK's Fleet strategy and liaising with other markets to develop best-practice for operations and support of future initiatives.

The ideal candidate should be able to demonstrate high levels of drive and determination, possessing emotional intelligence and a motivational attitude to succeed in team leadership. You'll be a strong critical thinker, confident taking topics where the desired out outcome is unknown, developing a customer centric solution that is deliverable. You'll need diverse experience across strategic areas (Brand, Customer, Product, Network) to provide expertise/input across a variety of projects, ensuring a holistic approach between workstreams.

Volkswagen Group is one of the most successful automotive manufacturers in the world, with some of the most iconic brands that the industry has ever seen. But we're also a great Sales, Marketing and Digital operation in our own right. Last year over 350,000 cars and vans were registered from the Volkswagen Group UK brands, achieving a market share of over 22% and confirming our position as the leading automotive company in the UK. In fleet the volumes are impressive too with a passion on developing long-lasting partnerships.

With a global target to be balance-sheet CO2 neutral by the year 2050, we are leading the automotive transition to zero emission battery electric vehicles. We're focusing on key strategic initiatives to help us become the leading provider of mobility services in the UK, digital sales, the next generation of aftersales and new efficient distribution structures to name a few.

We have a unique culture, built on difference and a friendly rivalry that inspires us all. Across our business, we learn from each other, encourage each other and regularly challenge each other to think differently. Our people have a true passion for what they do, a genuine desire to go further for customers and to give their own careers real momentum at the same time.

So what can we offer you? We know people value different things, so along with a competitive salary, multiple cars, fuel card and discretionary bonus, we offer a wide range of flexible benefits to suit you and your lifestyle, including hybrid working.

Sound like a challenge? We'd love to hear from you…
