Operations Recruitment
FOR AUTOMOTIVE
The roles that keep everything moving
Not every hire sits in front of the customer. But plenty of them determine whether the business actually works.
Automotive Operations is broad. From pricing and procurement through to sales operations, remarketing and network development, these are the roles that sit behind performance and are often the hardest to hire well. Getting it wrong exposes the business.
We support automotive recruitment across operational and commercial support functions, helping businesses find people who bring structure, clarity and control.
Getting into the detail - what we cover

Where we add value
Commercially aware, not just process-driven: Operations roles don't sit in isolation. We prioritise candidates who understand how their work impacts revenue, margin and customer outcomes, not just internal processes.
Detail without losing perspective: Strong candidates manage complexity without getting lost in it. We look for people who can handle data, systems and process, but still make clear, commercial decisions.
Sector understanding: Automotive has its own language. Think fleet, leasing, remarketing, dealer networks, RVs, funding models. We speak that language and that speeds everything up.
Why clients use PIE for automotive operations recruitment
We understand how operations drives performance
Well-run ops teams don't just support the business, they improve it. From pricing accuracy to stock control to network performance, these roles have a direct impact on commercial outcomes.
We hire for context, not just capability
A pricing analyst in leasing is not the same as one in retail. A remarketing specialist in fleet is different to one in OEM. We focus on relevance, not just transferable skills.
We cut through complexity
These roles often come with layered responsibilities and unclear ownership. We help define the brief properly so the hire solves the right problem.
We know the market
We understand where the talent sits, what good looks like and how to position roles to attract it. That reduces time-to-hire and improves quality.
Human-led as standard
No automated filtering. No guesswork. Just informed, considered hiring decisions.
Who we work with
We support a range of businesses across the automotive sector, including:
Fleet, leasing and mobility providers / OEMs and manufacturer-backed finance businesses / Dealer groups and network operators / Automotive SaaS and data providers / Businesses selling into the automotive channel
From scaling teams to replacing critical hires, we have a deep understanding of how operational roles underpin both sales and customer experience.
