We are looking for a Senior Associate to join the Strategic Planning team. You will be working with colleagues -- often remote market owners, cross-functional teams (local operations, finance, and others), and executive management to make difficult decisions, prioritize, and solve problems. With your proven skills as a multitasker, you will use your analytical skills with confidence to make sure you know and understand our business needs and ensure success for our global business.
This is a remote position with a requirement for candidates to reside in London to maintain effective collaboration across teams.
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.
About You:
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 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.
Independent working style: Self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity, can manage multiple workstreams, and knows when to escalate risks or blockers.
Global collaboration: Comfortable working across regions and time zones, adapting to different regulatory, operational, and market contexts.
Education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience required.
Preferred Experience:
BI tools: Experience with Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar tools.
EPM tools / process: Knowledge of Anaplan or similar EPM tools, budget forecasting, Capex planning, or financial planning processes is a plus.
Relevant industry experience: Background in mobility, logistics, marketplaces, supply chain, inventory planning, asset-heavy operations, international operations, or planning cycles.
Advanced degree: Master’s degree, or equivalent analytical training is a plus.
