Analysing the market trends, gaps and openings to take advantage of all opportunities.2. Regularly speaking to sales representatives about urgent product needs and completing projects for them to help the company gain additional sales.3. Regularly aiding customers with product related enquiries and new releases.To perform the above tasks, I would use my analytical, research and project management skills. I would also use my stakeholder management skills and utilised the relationships that I created within: engineering, IT, finance, sales, marketing and customer service.I also informed the market place of new product releases and updates by way of a monthly bulletin – a project that I managed end to end, managed the automotive database which was a key driver for the entire business plus I created, changed and edited complete departmental processes.My achievements were as follows:- Managing the customer service team of 3 when their direct report, the Marketing Manager, was on leave. - Restructuring the out of date database and website resulting in a discovery of 1,200 new applications for existing products in the Ryco range over a 12 month span.

It showcased the way in which BMW technologies benefited them and how the various additional cost options would improve their cars appearance and/or performance.I also managed the build your own BMW section of the BMW.com.au & MINI.com.au websites.

This saw me conduct competitor analysis's, sales forecasts, proposed pricing, specifications and options. In addition to this, I created numerous contacts around the Australian car industry which gave BMW far greater access to competitor product loans that they previously had.As a result of working for BMW, I gained an excellent overall understanding of the end to end product planning phase.
