Customers

B2C automotive; retail consumers in France and Europe

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've led brand strategy or marketing at scale in automotive, premium CPG, or high-consideration B2C brands
  • You thrive building brands from zero awareness—launch experience is a huge plus, not a requirement
  • You speak fluent French and English; navigating European markets and cross-cultural collaboration excites you
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration; you can balance Group alignment with local market agility
  • You own metrics obsessively and can justify every euro spent; ROI and data-driven strategy are your language
Won't Work If
  • You've only worked in B2B or technical marketing; automotive consumer behavior and dealer network dynamics are foreign to you
  • You need a fully built team and mature processes; this is greenfield startup-mode for a corporation
  • You're not fluent in French or unwilling to relocate to Paris region; French market knowledge and presence matter here
