This role is about precision, presence and performance.

You will take full ownership of day to day retail performance while playing a pivotal role in shaping how Jaguar shows up in the market, building meaningful relationships with clients and inspiring your team to deliver beyond expectation.

In a commercial role at JLR, you can reimagine the future of modern luxury.

We work hard to nurture a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all. We understand candidates may require reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process. Please discuss these with your recruiter so we can accommodate your needs.
