Regional Training Manager - EV (Midlands based)
Location: Field based to cover the Midlands
Team: OVO Drive
Experience: Experienced
Working pattern: Full-Time
Reporting to: Partnerships Manager
Sponsorship: Unfortunately, we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.
This role in 3 words: People, training, coaching
Top 3 qualities for this role: Great people skills, knowledgeable, articulate
In the words of the team, you should leave your current role for this one because:
We get to work with cutting edge tech, big global partners, we have fun while we are doing it and it's helping tackle climate change, what could be better than that?
This role in a nutshell:
Sitting within the partnership team of OVO Drive, this role will be a critical part of retaining our existing OEM partnerships such as Volkswagen Group and Volvo Cars UK.
You will be responsible for engaging, training, and coaching OEM dealerships/retail networks (specifically their sales teams) on the partnership, OVO, and the amazing customer offers we have in place.
An example would be: OVO has won a multi-year partnership with Volkswagen Group and we need to provide face-to-face training for over 500 dealerships nationally. We need to ensure that every dealership has a sound understanding of OVO and the customer offer, ultimately using the offer to help more people transition to electric vehicles.
You’ll be representing OVO on the front line, so you’ll need to be super engaging and impactful but without being pushy. You should be helping the dealerships and their sales executives understand energy, tariffs, and smart charging by being the subject matter expert there to help and support.
You’ll have a regional patch and be expected to travel within that region to match dealership availability.
Your key outcomes will be:
* Responsibility for your region/patch.
* Manage your own diary in line with dealership availability.
* Engage dealerships to get your foot in the door and offer help and support via training/coaching.
* Help build training materials and shape the nature of the training sessions.
* Deliver concise and impactful training to build sales executive excitement. Motivation for the partnership is a key output.
* Ensure dealership employees have the skills and knowledge to achieve the partnership goals.
* Monitor and assess the effectiveness and success of the training program, making recommendations where appropriate.
* Building rapport with decision-makers within various dealership networks.
* Provide continuous feedback on sessions, content, queries so we can improve the materials and ultimately the success of the role and the broader partnership.
You’ll be a successful Regional Training Manager - EV at OVO if you:
* Have experience of working with large, complex OEMs.
* Direct experience within a dealership/group or having worked with/within a dealer/retail network.
* Have training/coaching experience within an OEM or dealership/retail network.
* You need to be a huge advocate of electric vehicles. You should be the subject matter expert in all things EV and energy.
* Positive and engaging character who loves to train and coach others.
* Be adaptable in your approach to different people and scenarios.
* Ideally have a good technical understanding of both hardware and software solutions relevant to electric vehicles and smart charging.
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage audiences.
* Able to operate independently.
* Have an ability to explain complex topics such as energy and smart charging in a way that is accessible to a wide range of audiences.
* Adaptable and flexible approach to plans and able to respond confidently and positively to changing scenarios.
Let’s talk about what’s in it for you:
We’ll pay you between £33,510 - £40,550, depending on your specific skills and experience. You’ll be eligible for an on-target bonus of 15%.
We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO.
For starters, you’ll get 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).
For your health: With benefits like a healthcare cash plan or private medical insurance depending on your career level, critical illness cover, life assurance, health assessments, and more.
