Director Fleet Intelligence & Optimization Lead (m/f/d)

Are you ready to lead the future of data-driven mobility? We are looking for a visionary, hands-on Intelligence & Optimization Lead who turns our rich fleet data into AI-powered decisions and ensures that non-data-driven choices become a thing of the past. Ready to own this transformation and shape an affordable mobility ecosystem for everyone? Apply now and become the architect of our data- and AI-powered future at SIXT.

YOUR ROLE AT SIXT

• Optimize Fleet Intelligence: Lead the automated fleet optimization and intelligence stream, ensuring our global multi-hundred-thousand vehicle fleet is utilized optimally across demand and revenue forecasts, cost, contractual constraints, and operational limitations
• Steer Central Initiatives: Drive and prioritize high-impact fleet optimization projects, leveraging AI to maximize efficiency while deciding when and how central Data Science teams should be embedded
• Build Applied AI Solutions: Design, validate, and iterate optimization models and AI-based decision systems
• Ensure Statistical Rigor: Act as a functional leader who challenges assumptions and secures statistical relevance in all data- and AI-driven approaches
• Elevate Coding Excellence: Support colleagues with your Python expertise when low-code or AI-assisted “vibe-coded” solutions (e.g. via tools like Cursor) run into technical limitations, and help harden prototypes into robust production-ready code
