The Network Planning Manager will play a pivotal role in Lucid Motors’ European expansion strategy. As a newly created position, the role offers the opportunity to directly influence how the Lucid brand is scaled across new markets by shaping the physical and operational network required for long-term success.

Working at the intersection of commercial strategy, operational planning, and regional execution, the Network Planning Manager will lead all facets of network design — including geo-location mapping, sales and service coverage analysis, and market business planning. The role will be critical in supporting the transformation to an indirect sales model through distributors and non-genuine agency partners, as well as defining the aftersales footprint to ensure customer confidence, fleet readiness, and long-term brand reputation.

The Role:

• Support the transition to an indirect sales model across distributor and agency partner markets

Planning & Modelling

• Develop scalable distribution models tailored to market potential, including volume forecasts, breakeven analysis, and market prioritisation

• Create and maintain market-by-market coverage maps using geo-location data and heat mapping tools

Aftersales Footprint Planning

• Define optimal service coverage to support retail, fleet, and leasing channels

• Ensure aftersales readiness is aligned with vehicle rollout and partner onboarding timelines

Data & Reporting

• Manage all network-related planning data, KPIs and performance dashboards

• Prepare financial business case inputs, scenario models, and board-level reporting

Stakeholder Engagement

• Collaborate with local market leadership and cross-functional stakeholders (Sales, Aftersales, Finance, Legal)

• Present findings, insights, and recommendations to local leadership and executive board

Business Planning & Partner Assessment

• Evaluate new dealer/distributor proposals against strategic, operational, and financial benchmarks

• Support creation of business plans for each market and partner type

Qualifications:

Experience & Background

• 5+ years in automotive network planning or distribution strategy

• Proven experience at an OEM or a specialist consulting/agency environment

• Exposure to multi-market or pan-European network deployment is highly preferred

Skills & Capabilities

• Strong analytical and commercial acumen

• Fluent in using mapping, modelling and business planning tools (Salesforce, Tableau/Power BI, Excel)

• Able to simplify complexity and present strategic insights to senior stakeholders

• Understanding of both sales and aftersales network dynamics

Attributes

• Structured, data-driven and detail-oriented

• Adaptable and collaborative, with a growth mindset

• Comfortable in fast-paced and ambiguous environments
