Swindon – Hybrid

We’re Arval, part of BNP Paribas – we’re proud to be a global leader in vehicle leasing and the fourth largest leasing company in the UK. Our passion for Service, Sustainability, and Solutions is brought to life by each and every one of our people – who we call Journey Makers.

Culturally, we’re a friendly bunch – more human than corporate – and we serve a diverse customer base. From families choosing their first electric vehicle, to global brands seeking to switch their fleets to electric vehicles – whatever our customers’ mobility needs, we have a solution to offer.

About the role

With the automotive and vehicle leasing industries going through an unprecedented period of change, being able to accurately value our fleet, and forecast used vehicle prices is more important than ever.

Some of your key responsibilities will include:

• Strategic leadership of Asset Valuation and Used Vehicle Income teams
• Leading and supporting a team of experts, ensuring we adopt a cohesive and agile approach to setting residual values, valuation modelling, used car income reporting and forecasting
• Developing effective relationships with key stakeholders, and acting as trusted advisor and technical expert on Asset Valuation and financial modelling
• Building trust and strong working relationships with group functions, including Corporate Asset Valuation in Paris
• Working closely with OEM partners to support key new vehicle launches

Why Arval?

In addition to the benefits and opportunities that come with being part of a progressive global banking group, we have a supportive and collaborative culture where wellbeing and work-life balance are taken seriously. 

What we’re looking for

You have a deep understanding of asset valuation and forecasting methodologies, backed up by strong knowledge of statistical analysis and financial modelling.

• High levels of commercial acumen, coupled with a keen interest in automotive and leasing industry trends, and the political, and economic factors that drive them
• Capable of navigating a global corporate business structure with multiple stakeholders
• Highly self-motivated, and a desire to drive your department’s agenda forward

The package

We offer a basic starting salary of up to £95,000 depending on experience, plus a bonus of up to £15,000. We also offer 25 days holiday as standard, plus bank holidays, an extra day off for your birthday, and the option to purchase an additional 5 days.
