Drive improvements to cost traceability across operations (ie what steps in processes are driving what costs and are delivering what benefit upside) paying attention to not removing critical enabler process steps
Facilitate decision making within our businesses by confidently communicating views and analysis on process change opportunity and quantifiable rationale (ie the reason for change) in line with strategy and business directives
Oversee corrective actions to ensure continuous feedback of data and insights into the valuation model to closely monitor progress towards the quantified value opportunity and instructing the businesses on corrective actions where deviations and/or drop offs vs value forecast(s) can be seen.

About the Team:

You will be working in a fast-paced and diverse environment, reporting directly to the GM - Operational Performance & Planning.

This newly established function is responsible for creating and maintaining the highest operational standards across our business to create greater profitability for our business.

Our remit is wide.

Across the team, we work with central executive leadership and every Managing Director of our portfolio of automotive brands to deliver programmes and initiatives that have a direct impact on the experiences of our customers and our staff.

The culture within the team is dynamic and entrepreneurial. Across all of our team members we actively foster inquisitiveness, ideas and challenges to the status quo.

We know that the operations of 'traditional automotive' is shifting and we want new joiners to make their mark and play a big role in how we achieve success in the coming years as part of a multi-billion AED global business.

With this in mind, you do not need to have worked in automotive all of your career.

We are much more focused on your talents, capabilities and motivation to roll up your sleeves and get things done.
