Bassadone Automotive Nordic imports and distributes 14 car brands in Finland and the Baltics, with its own retail operations in Finland and Estonia. We are changing how we work: building one way of planning, measuring and steering performance across every brand and market.

As Operations Manager, you will own that system. You will make sure our plans are comparable across brands, our supply matches real demand, and our decisions rest on one reliable set of data.

Your key responsibilities

You report to the Operational Excellence Director. You will:

• Own the annual business planning and rolling forecast process, with common templates, assumptions and margin logic across all 14 brands.
• Own supply planning: align OEM production orders and allocations with the demand forecast by brand and model, balancing availability, stock levels and working capital.
• Run the quarterly campaign planning process, so campaigns are data-driven, budgeted and built into the forecast.
• Develop our sales and margin simulation tool together with Finance, moving forecasting from volume to margin.
• Build a single source of truth for commercial data, using OEM reporting as the primary source and cutting manual reporting.
• Document and continuously improve our commercial processes, and make sure they are followed.
• Drive the development of dashboards, data models and automation that support planning and steering.

You will work closely with our brand directors and Group Finance.

What we are looking for

• 5+ years in business planning, forecasting or commercial performance management, ideally at an automotive importer, distributor or OEM.
• Hands-on experience in demand and supply planning (S&OP) and vehicle order and allocation management.
• Strong financial and analytical skills: you understand P&L, margin and incentive logic, and you build models people trust.
• You design processes that stick, and you bring brand directors and management along with you.
• You are comfortable with data and BI tools (Power BI, Excel) and see automation as a way to free people for more valuable work.
• A degree in business, economics, finance or engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Fluent English; Finnish is an advantage.

What we offer

• A central role in shaping how a 14-brand importer plans and steers its business.
• Real influence: the processes and tools you build become the standard across Finland and the Baltics.
• A small, hands-on Operational Excellence team that values data, clarity and continuous improvement.
• A competitive compensation package, comprehensive employee benefits including the possibility of a company car benefit, and modern office facilities in Vantaa.
