About LeasePlan

LeasePlan is a leading car lease company with 1.8 million vehicles under management in over 30 countries. The company was founded in The Netherlands in 1963 and has over 7,000 employees and an annual revenue of EUR 10 billion.

LeasePlan operates in two markets: Car-as-a-Service for new cars through LeasePlan and the used-car market through CarNext.com. The Car-as-a-Service business manages the entire vehicle life-cycle for corporate, SME and private customers, including purchasing, insurance, and maintenance. CarNext.com is a pan-European digital marketplace for high-quality used cars from LeasePlan’s own fleet as well as third-party suppliers.

The company is completing the operational excellence transformation “Power of One”, which redesigned and further integrated the organization, centralized key functions, and implemented pan-European best-practices. It is now embarking on the “Performance Excellence” transformation, which focuses on their methods – in all key functional areas – in order to reap the benefits of the Power of One. The company is very ambitious and this transformation will have a direct impact on both top- and bottom-line performance.

The market

LeasePlan operates in an addressable car-as-a-service market of EUR 75 billion. The current megatrend from ownership to usership, accelerated by the increasing rate of technological developments, will support further market growth. LeasePlan seeks to be a leader in these developments and to enhance its market position accordingly. For example, LeasePlan is going through a large-scale transformation from analog business into a fully digitally-enabled business, delivering digital services through digital platforms and leveraging the latest digital intelligence technologies.

Vacancy: Senior Performance Excellence Lead

LeasePlan is building its Performance Excellence team and is now looking for a Senior Performance Excellence Lead. The purpose of the team is to drive and facilitate Performance Excellence within LeasePlan. This means establishing a performance culture based on ownership of results and with face-based analysis.

Key objectives of the team are to:

  • drive change within LeasePlan to become more fact-driven and take ownership for results;
  • ensure timely availability of complete, consistent and high-quality performance data;

The Senior Performance Excellence Lead is part of the Strategy & Transformation team and is truly the change agent within LeasePlan.

This means coaching and supporting at the highest level in adopting a plan-do-check-act approach and increasing ownership of financial and operational performance in all countries. For example, the Senior Performance Excellence Lead will conduct monthly visits to the countries in the respective cluster, discussing and challenging the business and performance with the Country Heads and supporting them in further establishing a data-driven decision-making approach.

This is a unique opportunity to combine an analytical mindset with an infectious inspirational enthusiasm in order to drive this transformation in the organization.
