We are fast, data-driven and efficient. But that is not enough for us! Our goal is to redefine the used car market for private customers with the help of a first-class production process. Support us as Business Development Manager Production by constantly questioning the status quo and demonstrating your negotiating skills and competence.

  • Analyse all processes and procedures in the constantly evolving day-to-day business, develop appropriate measures to improve the status quo and enable smooth operations 
  • Ensure that our processes are scalable and drive the implementation of new IT features - from specification to successful rollout 

Qualifications

  • Proven experience in the area of lean management from a start-up, a management consultancy, a dynamic, fast-growing company or from the automotive sector
  • Sound knowledge of lean methods, Six Sigma and other continuous improvement techniques
  • Team orientated approach and the ability to manage change effectively
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex data
