- Managing and developing internal and external cross functional relationships with key stakeholders through effective communication

**WHAT YOU’LL NEED**

We are looking for someone that has a proven track record of creating and curating cost reduction and profit optimisation opportunity pipelines, with a focus on Automotive body commodities (Interior or Exterior).

Essential:

- Advanced MS Excel skills (Including pivot tables and charts)
- Experience in Automotive body commodities (Interior or Exterior)
- Strong technical and commercial awareness, with the ability to understand and build compelling business cases to drive initiative approval
- Strong business acumen and financial understanding, including the ability to develop and scrutinise business cases
- A proven track record in project and change management/transformation

**SO WHY US?**

Bring all this to the home of premium innovation, and you’ll find the opportunities to further your career with a world-class team, a discounted car purchase and lease scheme for you and your family, membership of a competitive pension plan and performance related bonus scheme. All this and more makes JLR the perfect place to continue your journey.

This role may offer the opportunity for hybrid working where you can split your time between working from home and in the office. At JLR, hybrid working is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement providing employees with more choice and flexibility around how, when and where they work, if suitable for their role. Further details can be discussed with the Hiring Manager at interview stage.
