The opportunity

We're currently looking for a Sales Operations Manager. Someone to join our Polestar Europe / Rest of World team in order to lead and coordinate our sales strategy across all channels and markets. Someone with a passion for electric mobility, an interest in technology, and a desire to create the change we know is needed. And someone who doesn't mind the occasional bit of sustainable travel in the service of a cleaner form of electric performance.

This position is located at our office in Gothenburg, Sweden, with expectations for occasional travel to work closely with markets within the European Region. We believe in a hybrid model when it comes to remote and onsite work, knowing that both in-person collaboration and individual time to focus are needed. What matters most is that people get the time, and support, to do what needs to be done. And to enjoy doing it, of course.

The responsibilities

In this role, you'll be expected to develop sales capability and drive sales within the European region. Working as a member of the Polestar Europe / Rest of World team, you'll be instrumental in leading sales via our online direct sales platform, optimizing our digital platform, refining our sales process, and coordinating the Polestar Sales Units (PSU) in each of our markets. See below for a more thorough breakdown of the various tasks and areas you'll be responsible for:

• Review and develop the region’s sales performance, achieving monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets
• Identify sales strategy to optimize profitability across the entire Polestar value chain
• Contribute to the development and delivery of our customer sales journey, providing an efficient and effective way to guide our customers through our direct online sales process
• Own and drive our customer lead and test drive follow-up process
• Identify and share best practices from within and across our European markets

The ideal candidate

In order to succeed in this role, and at Polestar in general, there are a few characteristics you'll need to have. The ability to take the initiative, to meet deadlines and requirements, and to abandon ideas when they're not feasible. Additionally, you should be a strong leader capable of shaping and uniting people, with exceptional leadership skills.

In addition, you'll need the following qualifications:

• Previous work experience as an automotive sales professional with experience in leading sales strategy and operations
• Proven ability to deliver objective results and define a culture that inspires engagement and passion
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Polestar is an international company, with various backgrounds represented. English, therefore, is the language of written and spoken communication. And though we have a global presence, we maintain the growth-mindset. Change happens often at Polestar. But so does progress. Expect an accelerating, exciting environment.
