Through Fixico One, we bring repair and maintenance together in one connected platform and marketplace, giving fleet operators greater control over costs, lead times and quality. Today, more than 250 businesses use Fixico, supported by a network of 15,000+ repair partners across Europe.

Our customers include leading organisations across fleet, leasing, rental, insurance and the wider automotive and mobility industry.

Germany is one of Fixico’s most important European markets. We have built a significant presence, with established customers and partnerships, a strong repair network and a local commercial team. At the same time, we see substantial opportunities to grow our position further.

We are looking for a Strategic Partnerships Manager – Germanyto develop and grow some of our most important customer and partner relationships in the German market.
