This is a high-profile, senior role at the heart of one of Europe's largest single-market asset fleets - supporting hundreds of thousands of customers, with a risk fleet of almost one million assets.

The role
  • This is a senior leadership role responsible for monitoring and forecasting the value of a large, varied physical asset portfolio - where future residual values are being shaped by technology change, shifting supply and manufacturer behaviour, evolving customer demand, and wider economic conditions.
  • You'll own the central forecasting strategy across a 5-year+ horizon: setting a credible central case, sizing alternative scenarios, leading quarterly reviews and portfolio revaluations, and turning complex, uncertain evidence into decisions that protect both customer affordability and financial resilience.
  • You'll be backed by dedicated teams of data analysts and modellers, and you'll bring the applied economics, scenario judgement and commercial framing that turn their output into a defensible forecast and a clear recommendation for senior stakeholders and auditors.
  • You'll report into the C Suite, sit on the Asset Risk Strategic Leadership Team, lead a team of specialists, and help embed a new cross functional operating model.
The person
  • Experienced in forecasting or valuing large, varied physical asset portfolios over a multi year horizon, in a sector where values are exposed to broad political, economic, social, technological or regulatory shifts (e.g. leasing)
  • A background in applied economics or quantitative forecasting - comfortable defining a central case and sizing uncertainty around it, rather than doing the modelling yourself
  • Proven experience owning forecasts/valuations with real commercial, balance sheet or P&L consequences
  • Confidence directing and getting the best from specialist data and modelling teams you don't directly manage
  • A track record translating complex, sometimes uncertain evidence into clear, senior stakeholder ready recommendations
  • Your industry experience is highly likely to have been gained in one or more of the following: automotive, aviation, rail, equipment and asset finance or telecoms/tech hardware leasing

This assignment is being managed in strict confidence, with outreach and inbound applications being reviewed on a rolling basis.
