You will work closely with the finance team to develop the annual fleet budget and forecasts, and ensure that all fleet processes are optimized to meet customer demands.

You will also be responsible for leading a small team, developing and implementing strategies to maximize discounts through tenders and leveraging in-year improvements. Additionally, you will ensure that all fleet-related supply chains have full business continuity planning in place to protect product continuity.

  • Team Management: Lead a small team, ensuring flexibility to support asset and remarketing teams as needed.
  • Licence Compliance: Ensures fleet processes comply with legal requirements for safe and legal fleet operation (e.g., RFL, Insurance Database).
  • Budget and Forecast Development: Works closely with the Finance Business Partner to develop the annual in-life fleet budget and forecasts.
  • Supply Chain Continuity: Ensures the in-life related supply chain has full Business Continuity Planning (BCP) to protect product continuity.
  • Franchisee Commitments: Delivers on regulatory commitments for franchisees.
  • Fleet Policy Management: Supports the management of fleet policies and literature provided to driving instructors and franchisees.
  • SMR Program Development: Collaborates with group resources to build a world-class Service, Maintenance, and Repair (SMR) program and utilises integrated telematics for accurate fault reporting and establishes a robust "loss of use" process.
  • Technology Ownership: Owns technology integration within driving school vehicles (e.g., embedded or retro-fit systems).
  • Process Refinement: Refines administrative processes related to mileage charges, parking fines, vehicle management, and SMR.
  • Franchisee Management: Ensures every franchisee is managed in life from a fleet perspective in line with their franchise agreement.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • Supplier Management and Partnerships: Demonstrates a proven, robust approach to supplier management and partnerships, resulting in optimal customer outcomes and value delivery.
  • Excel Proficiency: Proven capability in using Microsoft Excel extensively to a high standard.
  • Accurate Data Handling: Demonstrated track record of working accurately with data.
  • Vehicle Leasing Expertise: Knowledge of the vehicle leasing business.
  • Financial Appreciation: Excellent level of financial appreciation.
  • Supplier and Contract Management: Experience managing suppliers or clients and contracts.
  • Change Management and Relationship Building: Experience in landing change, building relationships, and driving profitability.
  • Driver Duty of Care Awareness: Knowledge of Driver Duty of Care responsibility.
  • Fleet Industry Experience: Experience in the Fleet Industry in similar or parallel roles.
