We are looking for a passionate and driven Area Fleet Manager to join the Volkswagen Passenger Cars Direct Sales team on a full time permanent basis. This exciting role is responsible for pro-actively developing great relationships with existing and prospective customers. You'll be accountable for maintaining strong retailer and leasing company engagement and be responsible for the delivery of annual sales and order targets through agreed market channels. Reporting into the National Fleet Manager, you will be part of a team working with our corporate customers to build strong and lasting relationships that will deliver against our sales and loyalty ambitions, now and in the future.
You'll have the confidence and presence to influence both new and existing customers in this role. It is essential you are self-motivated, have strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships quickly at all levels, across both the Volkswagen Group and our customers.
This is a field based role covering The Midlands.
We're driven by difference. With six big brands under one roof – each with its own history, designs and inventions – we've created some of the world's most iconic vehicles, from luxury sports cars to family camper vans. Here, you'll discover opportunities, explore ideas and tackle challenges that you won't find anywhere else.
Volkswagen Group is one of the most successful automotive manufacturers in the world, with some of the most iconic brands that the industry has ever seen. But we're also a great Sales, Marketing and Digital operation in our own right. Last year over 350,000 cars and vans were registered from the Volkswagen Group UK brands, achieving a market share of over 22% and confirming our position as the leading automotive company in the UK.
You will have the opportunity to join a global brand that is expanding to new channels as eCommerce and Agency and that is leading an unprecedented business transformation in the automotive industry; great products, potential for a global career, limitless opportunities – you'll find it here at Volkswagen. With iconic vehicles such as the Beetle and the Golf GTI, few manufacturers have produced as many legendary cars as Volkswagen. Our brand holds a special place in people's imagination, but it's our people who make us one of the most successful automotive brands.
Our current product portfolio includes a range of battery electric vehicles which are critical to our ‘Way to Zero' strategy as we aim to reduce carbon emissions going into the atmosphere. As the Area Fleet Manager for this territory we are looking for an individual that can make an instant impact and support fleet customers as they look to introduce alternative fuel vehicles to their choice lists. Our latest model, the ID.7 which open for order later this year further strengthens our EV portfolio and will be a key focus for the second half of 2023.
We have a unique culture, built on diversity, difference and a determination to succeed that inspires us all. Across our brands and group functions, we are striving to learn from each other, encourage each other and regularly challenge each other to think differently. Our people have a true passion for what they do, a genuine desire to go further for customers and to give their own careers real momentum at the same time.
So what can we offer you? As an inclusive employer we know people value different things, so along with a competitive salary, fuel card, multiple cars and discretionary bonus, we offer a wide range of flexible benefits to suit you and your lifestyle including hybrid working.
Think you're up to the challenge? We'd love to hear from you…
