  • Grow ancillary revenue (upgrades, damage waiver and counter products) and commercial vehicle revenue
  • Manage and forecast the fleet to optimise revenue per unit, utilisation and customer service
  • Raise customer satisfaction, using NPS, Google reviews and Booking.com as key measures
  • Lead, coach and engage a large operations team, and build a strong leadership pipeline and succession plan
  • Work across a global matrix organisation and contribute to commercial and fleet strategy
  • Make sure the business meets health, safety, environmental, compliance and ESG standards

What you will bring

  • 5+ years in a senior operations or fleet leadership role, ideally in car rental, mobility or another multi-site, asset-intensive business
  • Strong financial acumen and a proven record of improving operational efficiency and profitability
  • Experience leading and developing teams to meet and exceed targets
  • Confidence managing multiple projects and stakeholders, and communicating with senior leaders
  • Experience in a US-headquartered multinational, with a clear understanding of its performance metrics, reporting rhythms and ways of operating

Why join us

You will lead a well-known brand in a market that is central to our Pacific strategy. You will have real autonomy, the backing of a global organisation, and a culture built on our values: Customer Led, Ownership, Inclusion, Integrity and Innovation.
