Manager, Changeover Operations (18 Month Contract)

What you'll do

"Mobility" is a fundamental pillar of our Dealer network, as it empowers each Dealer to advance based on their potential and ambition, transitioning from smaller to larger stores. The Changeover process is the manner by which Dealers buy and sell inventory and assets from one store to another as part of the mobility process. Each transaction entails the significant financial transfer of assets and inventory between Dealer’s, and is achieved by way of the Changeover Policy and Procedure process.

The Changeover Team consists of 2 Operations Manager’s, with each overseeing a team of multiple direct reports. With a “Dealer First” approach, these Manager’s will be accountable for the day-to-day operations to support the entire Changeover lifecycle, from the announcement of a Dealer accepting a new store to Finalization. Managers will assist in the mediation of variance and ensure that Changeovers meet the highest standards of being factual, fair, and frictionless.

Working in partnership with the Changeover Committee, the Managers also contribute to the development and implementation of Changeover strategies, policies and practices, working collaboratively with the Manager of Changeover Capabilities.
