You will work cross-functionally and independently to identify operational bottlenecks, manual work, and process inefficiencies, driving initiatives focused on simplification, automation, and scalability rather than traditional customer service activities.

  • Deep dive into workflows related to:
  • Contract management
  • Payment processing
  • Financed and leased vehicles
  • Payment and purchase blocking management
  • Identify manual, repetitive or inefficient activities and drive automation, AI-driven solutions and process redesign to improve scalability and customer experience
  • Translate operational pain points into structured improvement initiatives, business cases and implementation plans
  • Coordinate projects end-to-end, from process analysis and solution definition to implementation and impact measurement
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Finance, Purchasing, Business Analytics, and Operations teams to drive process improvements and automation initiatives
  • Manage and align multiple stakeholders across HQ and local teams to successfully drive operational initiatives
  • Work closely with local teams across Europe to understand operational realities on the ground, challenge assumptions and ensure solutions are scalable across different market setups
  • Contribute to business scalability by enabling higher operational output with the same effort

Qualifications

  • Experience in Operations, Project Management, Process Excellence, Consulting or fast-paced scale-up environments 
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills 
  • Ability and willingness to work closely with local teams across multiple European markets, understanding different operational realities and translating them into scalable solutions
  • Experience driving operational improvements and managing cross-functional stakeholders
  • Curiosity to understand how operations work in practice, challenge existing processes and identify opportunities for simplification, automation and scalability. 
  • Interest or experience in automation, AI applications, and operational tooling is highly valued
  • SQL knowledge and experience with Excel/GSheets 
  • Fluent in English; additional European languages are a plus
