Jobomschrijving

This is a transformation leadership role in a market that is only beginning to fully understand the strategic importance of data, SaaS and digital solutions within automotive retail.
The role is about renewal, leadership, commercial acceleration and cultural transformation.

What do we expect?
The ideal CEO for Fastback combines four essential dimensions:

1. A visible and credible market presence: A leader who can represent Fastback externally and strengthen the company’s reputation and positioning in the Belgian automotive market.
2. A strong growth mindset: A commercially driven entrepreneur who can develop business with key accounts, importers, dealer groups and strategic partners — both in Belgium and internationally.
3. Strong customer orientation: A leader who deeply understands customer needs, protects and expands the existing customer base, and translates product and service excellence into long-term retention and loyalty.
4. Internal leadership and organisational discipline: A CEO who can unite Sales, IT, Helpdesk and Operations (20 employees) into one aligned organisation, creating ownership, accountability and a strong sense of shared purpose.

What can you offer?

The ideal CEO will bring:

• Strong Belgian automotive market credibility and experience with automotive technology or SaaS solutions: A recognised track record and strong relationship-based credibility within the automotive ecosystem, with dealers, dealer groups, importers or automotive service providers.
• Commercial leadership, customer trust and retention mindset: Senior-level entrepreneurship and business leadership with the ability to sharpen the value proposition, improve revenue performance and turn customer insights into growth opportunities and strong communication.
• Local operational leadership and change management capability: Experience in transformation, turnaround or change management environments. A constructive and pragmatic leader who can define direction, align teams, clarify responsibilities and create a strong sense of common purpose.
• Ability to operate within an international group structure: A leader who understands local market realities — including dealership operations and the specific expectations of Belgian customers — while successfully aligning local priorities with the broader group strategy.

The role requires fluency in English, French and Dutch and regular travel within Belgium and across Europe. It also calls for an understanding of the logic of automotive systems and dealership processes: Dealer Management Systems, stock management, vehicle publication, pricing tools, trade-in processes, remarketing, integrations, data quality and dealership workflows.
