Brand Relationship & Value-Added Products Senior Specialist | Permanent | Slough (Hybrid) | Up to £38,000
IN2 Consult are looking to hire a commercially minded and versatile Senior Specialist to join a fast-paced financial services business operating in the automotive sector. This dual-focus role sits across two key areas: management of insurance and value-added products (VAPs), and ownership of a portfolio of automotive brand partnerships within the UK market.
On the insurance side, you'll be involved in new product development, managing supplier relationships with third-party insurers and product owners, and ensuring the profitability of all VAPs sold with or separate to finance agreements.

* Serve as a liaison between internal teams and partner organisations to ensure a joined-up approach on processes and external communications
* Support the wider Brand Relationship team on projects and ad hoc requests as needed
* Assist with the onboarding of new brand partners to the business
