• Develop, coach and empower leaders and team members to drive capability uplift, engagement and retention.
• Ensure operational disciplines, systems and processes are consistently applied and continuously improved.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven leadership experience in a dealership, automotive, heavy vehicle, equipment or comparable operational environment, ideally with strong Parts experience.
• A practical understanding of parts operations, inventory control, customer uptime, supply chain responsiveness and margin performance.
• Strong experience managing operational and financial performance, with a track record of improving profitability through disciplined execution.
• Solid commercial acumen, with the ability to analyse performance data and translate insights into practical action.
• A genuine commitment to safety, compliance and building a strong safety culture.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with a highly customer‑focused approach.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across teams, sites and functions in a matrix organisation.

Why join Velocity Truck Centres?

• Lead a key metropolitan branch, with real scope to influence performance, standards and team culture.
• Work within a respected national dealership group backed by Daimler Trucks’ leading brands, systems and network strength.
• Partner closely with senior leaders and play a visible role in shaping operational outcomes and customer experience.
• Be recognised and rewarded with an attractive remuneration package, including performance-based incentives.
