• Proven track record of improving implementation or training methodology across a team or organisation.
• Experience working with fast-growing or international technology companies, ideally in startup-style environments.
• Strong understanding of how dealership financial performance drives overall dealership success.
• Adaptable and proactive, thriving in a fast-changing, startup environment.
