About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Support the definition of long-term improvement plans across Motorway operations, clearly articulating how these initiatives will enhance the overall seller experience.
Deep dive into operational, financial, and product data to diagnose problems, build financial models, and uncover both short-term quick wins and long-term strategic opportunities across the seller journey (from enquiry through to post-sale).
Lead major new and existing initiatives from concept through to delivery, taking full responsibility for the realisation of business case goals and course-correcting as required.
Coordinate and drive delivery across partner teams (including product/tech, marketing, finance, and commercial teams), setting clear KPIs and phased goals to ensure all stakeholders meet their deliverables.
Define, prioritise, and track initiatives that drive measurable impact across revenue, CX, and cost, establishing robust tracking frameworks and success metrics.
Drive automation and process improvements to reduce manual work. Actively explore and apply emerging technologies, including AI tools, to improve workflows, decision-making, and operational scalability.
Simplify highly complex operational problems and translate them into clear, actionable roadmaps and business cases for senior leadership and cross-functional partners.

Requirements

What you’ll need
