About Us
We are Porsche. We are home to what is, in the extraordinary scale of the automotive world, a small family of passionate enthusiasts - established in 1948 and run in Stuttgart to this day by the same family that bears the company name.
In the UK, we are trusted to represent and care for some of the most exciting, fastest, most advanced and beautiful cars ever created. We work with incredible and often inspiring customers who rightly expect our performance and ambition to match that of our cars.
Being relatively small means we are agile - an environment in which creativity thrives. It also means every one of us makes a difference. When it comes to creating our cars, we sweat the small stuff and we truly care about every part of our business - whether on the road, competing on the track or in styling and dynamics. We are aiming to establish the benchmark in an industry in which the bar is set very high.
About You
We are looking for a superstar to join the Business Development team at Porsche GB. We handle some of the most transformational topics in the business (and Industry!) and operate as a dynamic and fast paced unit. Digitalisation and platform development sit at the heart of our future development plans and we need someone with a digital and challenging mindset to help bring this all to life. This role combines the local implementation of our inhouse customer platform (My Porsche) and our integrated telematics and connected services (Porsche Connect)
You will have worked in a big organisation, understanding the macro picture of how Apps, platforms, data and every customer interaction can shape a brand. You will have understanding of how excellent digital customer journeys are formed, how to generate business cases based on customer value and strategic alignment.
You will have experience of managing (and more importantly influencing!) all types and disciplines of stakeholders, be able to distil their projects, requirements and challenges and form them into a simple, executable plan.
Whilst a solid understanding of the Automotive world would be an advantage and you don't need to be a developer (there are teams for that!), more important is a digital first mindset, a strong attention to detail, ability to self manage, a proactive mindset and, most importantly, be an awesome team player.
