What we do. Electric Car Leasing
Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.
The Role, in a nutshell...
We’re looking for a Fleet Incident & Recovery Specialist to play a key role in protecting and elevating the driver experience across our growing fleet.
When something goes wrong — whether that’s a collision, breakdown, or unexpected vehicle fault — this role ensures it is resolved smoothly, professionally, and with genuine care. You will be the person who brings clarity, direction, and momentum to moments that could otherwise damage trust.
This isn’t just about handling complaints.
It’s about delivering successful outcomes.
You’ll make sure drivers feel heard, supported and confident in what happens next while building strong, accountable relationships with our partners to ensure issues are resolved properly and efficiently.
Your impact will be felt in restored confidence, strengthened partnerships, and drivers who stay with us because of how we showed up when it mattered most.
This role will require 1 day monthly in our London.

What you'll do...Proactive Incident Ownership: Monitor live fleet alerts including collisions, major faults and breakdown notifications — and take immediate ownership. You’ll contact drivers early, set clear expectations, and guide the resolution from first call through to recovery.
Deliver Confident, Clear Resolutions: Act as the central point of contact during vehicle incidents, ensuring the process feels coordinated and seamless. Whether you resolve directly or manage handovers, you’ll ensure nothing stalls and no driver is left uncertain.
Build Strong Partner Relationships: Work closely with OEMs, dealerships, repairers and recovery providers to drive timely outcomes. You’ll build credibility and trust while holding partners accountable to agreed SLAs.
Turn Insight Into Improvement: Identify recurring issues, delays or performance gaps and escalate them appropriately. Your insight will contribute to improving fleet reliability and partner performance.
Protect the Driver Experience: Review feedback, including CSAT and Trustpilot insights, to ensure concerns are resolved constructively and relationships are strengthened.
Support Wider Fleet Operations:Collaborate across insurance, hire vehicles, recall management and wider in-life support to ensure every driver receives a joined-up, high-quality experience.
What you'll need...
Motor Industry Experience: Experience within aftersales, fleet management, a dealership environment, or working directly with an OEM. You understand vehicle repair journeys, escalation pathways and manufacturer processes.
Outcome-Focused Communication: Confident and clear on the phone, able to guide conversations with professionalism and empathy. You know how to bring reassurance and direction without overpromising.
Ownership & Prioritisation: Comfortable working from live data feeds, prioritising incidents based on urgency and impact. You take responsibility for driving matters forward.
Partner Confidence: Able to challenge constructively when service levels slip. You build respectful but firm relationships that keep drivers at the centre of decisions.
Analytical Awareness: Curious about patterns and performance. You can spot trends that highlight risk or opportunity and contribute meaningfully to improving how we operate.
Adaptability: Excited by growth and change. As our fleet scales, you’ll help shape how this function evolves.
Why this role is matters...
This is a high-impact position within a fast-growing business.
You won’t just resolve incidents — you’ll restore confidence, strengthen partnerships and help define what exceptional in-life fleet support looks like.
For someone who finds satisfaction in bringing order to complexity, building trusted relationships, and seeing tangible outcomes from their work, this role offers real purpose.
