Reports to: Senior Business Change Manager
Change that matters, in a business that’s going places!
Cox Automotive is a connected ecosystem of people, technology, data, marketplaces, operations and financial services helping the automotive industry buy, sell, own, and use vehicles more efficiently.
As part of Cox Enterprises, a family-owned global organisation with more than 50,000 employees worldwide, we combine global scale, long-term investment, and local energy to create meaningful impact.
Our Wholesale business operates the marketplaces, auctions, inspection services, and vehicle operations that keep the automotive world moving. And we’re mid-transformation.
We’re looking for a Business Change Manager with the energy, credibility, and practical judgement to make change land — from the auction floor to the boardroom.
Why this role, why now?
This is a high-visibility opportunity to shape how change is adopted, embedded, and sustained across a major operational business.
You’ll work with frontline colleagues, operational leaders, project teams, senior executives, and board-level stakeholders to deliver change that improves business performance, colleague experience, and customer outcomes.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Make a real impact in a transforming global industry
- Work across technology, operations, data, finance, and commercial teams
- Influence change at both strategic and frontline level
- Access development opportunities and flexible career pathways
- Join a people-first culture that values wellbeing, belonging, and inclusion
