What You’ll Do:

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, utilization, 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.

Standardize 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.

Analytics & tooling:
Strong Excel / Google Sheets and data management skills are required; SQL and dashboard-building experience are required.

Data-driven judgment:
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 organization, prioritization, 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 judgment:
Understands whether a plan is not only analytically sound, but also practical and executable for local teams.
