Owning and developing Suzuki dealer relationships across your region, driving performance across New and Used vehicle sales and product penetration (PCP, HP and Contract Hire).
Using insight and data to conduct performance reviews, shape activity plans and influence retailer behaviour to meet Suzuki Finance and Suzuki GB objectives.
Leading the rollout of strategic and digital initiatives that improve dealer capability and support the wider transformation of our Transport business.
Managing conduct, customer and regulatory responsibilities across all relevant retail and funding products to ensure risks are controlled and outcomes are fair.
Collaborating across OEM teams, Distribution Channels and the wider Group to share insight, align activity and deliver consistent customer value.
Coaching and upskilling dealer teams to build confidence and proficiency with our products, systems and processes.
