Overall Purpose of Role 

The primary purpose of this role is to optimise new vehicle supply and support Nissan’s Customer First objectives by operating at the intersection of Supply Planning & Distribution and Sales Operations.

Working closely with the Nissan Dealer Network, logistics partners (NDS), and internal Sales Operations teams, this role supports both operational execution and the development of improved processes, tools and reporting. A key focus is the harmonisation, automation and modernisation of data and reporting, helping the wider team move away from manual Excel/Access‑based reporting toward scalable, automated solutions using platforms such as Tableau and Power BI.

The role offers significant opportunities to apply technical, analytical and commercial skills to drive efficiency, enhance decision‑making and support business objectives across volume, market share and customer satisfaction. Success requires a strong cross‑functional mindset, excellent communication, and the ability to translate business needs into robust analytical outputs.
