  • Monitor fleet sales performance against weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual targets and proactively report to the Management Team. Where needed, you should be able to identify opportunities to address under-performance and to support commercial decision making
  • Contribute to the development and delivery of Polestar’s sales and marketing activities within the fleet and corporate channel.
  • Represent Polestar at relevant industry forums, customer events and other fleet-related activities, including delivering presentations.
