• Own the regional fleet allocation engine: build, maintain, and improve the models, logic, and decision frameworks used to determine where fleet should be allocated, rebalanced, held, or redeployed across markets.
• Build decision infrastructure: develop dashboards, trackers, datasets, and recurring reports that give regional and local teams clear visibility into fleet availability, market needs, allocation gaps, and upcoming decisions.
• Model scenarios and trade‑offs: quantify allocation options across demand, utilisation, revenue, ROI, growth potential, budget constraints, operational readiness, timing, and local market constraints.
• Turn data into recommendations: translate complex operational, financial, and market inputs into clear recommendations that help leadership and local teams make better fleet allocation decisions.
• Support planning and forecasting: provide the analytical foundation for annual planning, Capex planning, budget forecasting, market launches, scale‑ups, and in‑year fleet reviews.
• Standardise allocation processes: create repeatable frameworks, input templates, decision rules, and model documentation to make allocation decisions more consistent, transparent, and scalable.
• Partner cross‑functionally: work with Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, Logistics, and local markets to collect inputs, validate assumptions, and ensure allocation models reflect operational reality.
• Track allocation performance: monitor post‑allocation outcomes, compare actual performance against expected impact, identify gaps in the logic, and continuously improve the allocation framework over time.
• Improve data quality and automation: identify weaknesses in current tools, data flows, and reporting processes, and build cleaner, faster, and more automated ways to support fleet allocation decisions.

• 2–4 years of experience in strategy and operations, business intelligence, consulting, project management, or another analytical role; experience in a high‑growth or early‑stage environment is a plus.
• Analytics & tooling: strong Excel / Google Sheets and data management skills are required; SQL and dashboard‑building experience are required.
• Data‑driven judgement: able to turn messy data, operational context, and financial inputs into clear recommendations, priorities, and trade‑off decisions.
• Project execution: proven ability to support cross‑functional projects from planning through execution, with strong organisation, prioritisation, and follow‑through.
• Stakeholder communication: strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate analysis into crisp recommendations, action plans, and leadership updates.
• Operational judgement: understands whether a plan is not only analytically sound, but also practical and executable for local teams.
• Independent working style: self‑starter who is comfortable with ambiguity, can manage multiple work streams, and knows when to escalated risks or blockers.
• Global collaboration: comfortable working across regions and time zones, adapting to different regulatory, operational, and market contexts.
