Job summary

AutoNation, a leading American automotive retailer, seeks a Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations (Transformation) to design and deliver a company-wide transformation program modernizing operating models and performance at scale.

You will sit in the Transformation Office, working across Product, Tech, Finance, and Operations to move initiatives from approved business case through pilot, rollout, and value capture, guiding executive communications and governance throughout.

Qualifications

• Experience: 7 years of experience across strategy and operations, with a track record of taking cross-functional initiatives from idea to measurable result.
• Executive presence and influence: Superb top-down communication and synthesis skills, and track record of building and owning clear, executive-quality materials. Demonstrated success leading through influence rather than formal hierarchy, building trust across operators, finance, and other functions to deliver enterprise results.
• Comfort with ambiguity: Ability to move from an ambiguous, enterprise-level challenge to a clear execution roadmap autonomously, without waiting to be told how.
• Analytical rigor: Excellent Excel skills and strong financial knowledge, with the judgement to know which analysis actually drives a decision and the discipline to hold initiatives to their numbers.
• Consulting background: Tenure at a top-tier management consulting firm with transformation experience is strongly preferred. Experience in automotive retail, mobility, or multi-brand, multi-unit distributed consumer operations is highly valued.

Responsibilities

• Cross-functional ownership: Work cross-functionally to bring workstreams from approved business case through pilot, rollout, and value capture; accountable not for the plan alone, but for the result and its P&L impact.
• Build the analytical backbone: Develop the financial and operational models, KPIs, and reporting that size the opportunity, quantify impact, and hold every initiative accountable to its targets.
• Own the executive narrative: Structure ambiguous problems, translate complex analysis into a single clear point of view, and prepare and deliver Executive Committee- and senior-leadership-level materials with a high bar for accuracy and clarity.
• Translate strategy into execution: Turn enterprise strategy into clear operating plans, roadmaps, milestones, and owners that teams can actually run with.
• Shape the operating model: Help architect target-state operating models, the processes, roles, workflows, and store-level economics, across priority areas of the transformation agenda.
• Drive alignment and governance: Bring leaders across operations, finance, and corporate functions to clear decision points, build adoption in the field, resolve the risks and blockers that stall transformation work, and help manage cross-workstream sequencing and reporting so the program stays honest to its numbers and its timeline.
