Summary
Your new company
A well-established leader in commercial vehicle manufacturing, this global brand operates across multiple UK divisions and is known for its high-performance products and commitment to innovation. With continued growth across new and used truck sales, the UK finance function is investing in its risk and value controls-and this newly created opportunity plays a key role in supporting operational and strategic decisions.
Your new role
You'll act as the central conduit between finance, product, and sales teams, ensuring the business has clear, data-driven insight into residual values across the used truck market. As part of this role, you will:
- Analyse market data and trends across new and used trucks
- Provide timely residual value assessments to sales, dealers, and finance stakeholders
- Present findings to senior leadership and lead quarterly steering committee meetings
- Develop relationships across dealerships, external valuation providers, and auction platforms
- Maintain and enhance data models for ongoing performance analysis and risk control
- Partner with internal technical teams to evaluate the impact of product developments on market values
This role blends financial modelling, market analysis, and product insight to influence both short-term decision making and long-range strategy. Some UK travel is expected (production site and industry events) as part of your remit.
What you'll need to succeed
We're looking for someone who thrives on working with complex datasets and has a passion for vehicles-especially trucks. You'll need:
- A good working knowledge of the truck market (used or new), ideally with technical product insight
- Strong analytical skills and confidence with large volumes of data from varied sources
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint proficiency (Power BI, SQL or Python would be a bonus)
- Experience in residual value setting, forecasting or valuation modelling is highly desirable
- Comfortable presenting to stakeholders and guiding decisions through well-supported analysis
What you'll get in return This is a chance to join a respected organisation at the forefront of the automotive sector, with real influence over financial strategy and product positioning. You'll benefit from a competitive salary (£50,000-£60,000), hybrid working, travel opportunities and long-term career prospects.
