Description

Mobility is set to change more fundamentally than it has in a century.

The very foundation of how we move about is being shaken to its core, with electric vehicles,

autonomous driving, and ride hailing set to completely revolutionise the delivery of mobility in the

2020s.

Meanwhile, the service delivery of how we browse, buy and finance our cars is changing at similar

break-neck speed. Tesla's success has sounded the death knell for the large, out-of-town retail

spaces with the intimidating, opaque environments that car dealerships have become synonymous

with.

Over the next 3 years, we're set to develop and deliver an entirely new online journey for clients,

centred around the personal, expert client experience we have become known for.

We will retain this personal approach, while developing an unrivalled digital experience for clients, harnessing our expertise for the professional markets we serve.

Are you looking for a new role where Culture comes first in one of the most exciting industries to be involved with, as the world moves to electric vehicles?

If you thrive in a fast paced environment and love the idea of working in a scaling up organisation using your finance and accounting skills to be an integral part of the team, then we would love to hear from you.
