Job Description - Product Specialist (12 month FTC) (MER0003BAI) About Us Mercedes-Benz Vans provides world-class vans and services to customers across the UK. We keep the wheels turning for our people and businesses, driving opportunity and inspiring ideas with everything we do.
We're ambitious, future-focused and committed to shaping the future of electric mobility with digital solutions that deliver best-in-class customer experience.
Our passionate team is focused on championing inclusivity, respect and equal opportunities for all, because our backgrounds, beliefs, values and culture shape who we are, what we do and how we do it.
From our fantastic colleagues to our trusted Dealer network – everyone who works for us, and with us, is helping to impact the future of transportation.
How you'll play your part We are looking for someone highly driven and passionate, to take the helm of life cycle management for designated van model lines. This role is pivotal in steering the success of our vehicles throughout their life span, from conception to the end of production, ensuring they meet and exceed customer expectations.
You will become the subject matter expert for your assigned model lines and will champion your models to dealers, customers, agencies, and internal stakeholders within Mercedes-Benz Vans UK (MBVUK), advocating for their success and prominence in the marketplace.
You will be entrusted with the project management of new product implementation processes, collaborating closely with the Master Data team to facilitate the creation of new national type configurations. Your precision and attention to detail will be critical as you input necessary data into internal and third-party systems, ensuring vehicles are ready and saleable from the agreed start of sales date.
As the custodian of product data, you will manage MDS product data for designated models. Working in close collaboration with the Master Data team, you will ensure the ongoing accuracy of data in our systems and take charge of local master data file creation and maintenance. Your role will extend to the creation and distribution of all communications to CAP and third-party data providers, notifying them of any product data changes.
You will serve as the main point of contact for Mercedes-Benz AG (MBAG) and act as the conduit between Product and the wider local Marketing team for information on your designated models. You will also oversee the briefing, proofing, and approval of all product information on the MBVUK website, as well as maintaining vehicle data accuracy within the Vehicle Online Configurator.
You'll possess strong attention to detail and be highly organised. You will be a team player but also capable of working independently when required. High competency in data management and Microsoft Excel is essential, as is a solutions-oriented approach. A customer-focused mindset, commercial awareness, and good stakeholder management skills are also key to succeeding in this role.
To be successful in this role, you will have some experience in product management or product marketing of engineered products. Perhaps you are a Product Analyst looking for your next step or a Product Manager with an interest in Automotive.
What's in it for you As well as the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment, with a great team and culture, we'll offer you a competitive salary and discretionary bonus structure. We also hope you'll love our products as much as we do, with access to our colleague car schemes. On top of that, you'll be able to join our pension scheme and you'll get a flexible benefit pot that can be used to find the benefits that are right for you. We are pleased to be able to offer a hybrid working approach – achieving a great balance between remote and office working.
We're here to support you – we offer access to colleague wellbeing resources, including an Employee Assistance Programme and Mental health First Aiders, as well as flexible opportunities to support work life balance. We'll also encourage your development, with the training and knowledge you need to reach your potential.
Who we are Through the doors of Mercedes-Benz Vans you'll find a passionate team of people. We know that to keep this team motivated, we need to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity.
We celebrate a culture of appreciation and respect, where everyone is valued for who they are. We believe our backgrounds, experiences and cultures contribute to our shared experience and shape who we are and what we do. The diversity of our colleagues reflects the diversity of our customers. This diversity is the driving force behind our ideas.
What's next? Once you click apply, we'll take you through to the Mercedes-Benz Group careers portal – this is our parent company site, so don't worry, you're in safe hands. Here, you'll find a short application form to complete.
Please be assured that we're here to support you throughout the recruitment process and beyond, and reasonable adjustments are available to any candidates who need them. We're also open to working flexibly and are happy to discuss flexible working options.
Due to UK legislation, we need to let you know that we can only accept applications from those with the right to work in the UK.
