Audit auction operations to ensure $4-10B in company assets are properly managed, with expenses and fees correctly allocated per Contracts and Ford to Auction Standards

Drive identification and action plans for underperforming auctions

Willingness to travel 60-70% to auction locations within assigned region

You'll have...

Bachelors or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.

5+ years of relevant experience in auction/remarketing, fleet management, and/or broader operations management (any combination qualifies)

Strong leadership skills with proven people/team management experience - this is a top priority for this role
