Motability Operations are currently recruiting for a Regional Aftersales Performance Manager to join our team based remotely on a full-time, permanent basis. The Aftersales Performance Manager is responsible for driving dealer partner aftersales performance through structured, on-the-ground engagement across the Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) and Vehicle Off Road (VOR) agenda.
Operating as a senior field-based representative of Motability Operations, the role focuses on bottom-up improvement by addressing behaviours, capability, and operational discipline within dealership aftersales teams. This is achieved through targeted coaching, training, and performance intervention rather than contractual or commercial levers.
Dealer Aftersales Performance Management

- Drive measurable improvements in SMR cost control, repair quality, throughput, and VOR performance.
- Act as a senior field presence, building strong, credible relationships with dealer principals, aftersales managers, service managers, and frontline teams.
Coaching, Training & Behavioural Improvement
- Deliver targeted coaching and training interventions to dealer aftersales teams to improve capability, behaviours, and operational discipline.
- Address performance and behavioural issues that negatively impact SMR cost, repair lead times, VOR, or customer experience.
- Reinforce best practice in diagnostics, authorisation discipline, parts availability, VOR management, and customer communication.
OEM & Industry Engagement
- Engage proactively with OEM aftersales field managers to align expectations, share performance insight, and support joined-up improvement at dealer level.
- Work with OEM partners to resolve operational issues that require manufacturer support or intervention.
- Represent Motability Operations at the Aftersales Specialist Committee and other relevant industry or dealer partner forums, contributing insight and supporting collective improvement.
Performance Insight & Targeted Intervention
- Use MI, network insight, and field observation to identify underperformance, root causes, and priority improvement opportunities.
- Develop and implement practical dealer-level improvement plans, tracking delivery and sustainability of outcomes.
- Escalate persistent, systemic, or strategic issues to the SMR Relationship Manager, supported by evidence and clear recommendations.
Stakeholder Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Work closely with the SMR Relationship Manager to align field activity with SMR strategy, cost initiatives, and commercial priorities.
- Collaborate with internal SMR, customer services, operations, and data teams to ensure consistent messaging and joined-up delivery.
- Identify and share best practice across the dealer network and OEM partners to drive continuous improvement.
