  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills - confident presenting ideas and solutions across technical and non-technical teams.
  • Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities.
  • Comfortable working in a collaborative team environment with a focus on outcomes and continuous improvement.

  • Experience working on building Fixed Operations functionality or products within an automotive retail context.
