Your primary responsibility is to align and focus the Trading Squad on the highest-value commercial opportunities, setting priorities and ensuring resources are aligned to deliver them.

Trading Squads are cross-functional, self-organised teams with expertise in digital marketing, pricing, analytics, CRM, data science, and partner management. They bring together these capabilities to solve complex commercial problems and drive trading performance.

You will be responsible for driving profitable growth and strong trading performance while maintaining high levels of partner satisfaction.

Process Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements within the Squad, engaging with stakeholders to develop people and processes.

Commercial Objectives: Set objectives around partner renewals and manage Squad resources to meet these goals.

Strategic Roadmap: Define, scope, and present CarTrawler’s trading strategic roadmap, identifying and shaping opportunities to enhance the partner proposition.
