About the company
Infopro Digital Services Limited is seeking a General Manager to lead the UK business of its Automotive division. This position is critical to driving sustainable growth, commercial performance, operational excellence and strategic leadership across a portfolio of automotive data, software and digital solutions.
Infopro Digital Automotive is a leading global provider of data and software solutions for the automotive aftermarket, supporting workshops, distributors, manufacturers, fleets, retailers and other industry professionals. Its portfolio brings together established specialist brands and businesses, including Haynes, HaynesPro, DriveRightData, OATS, ETAI and Eucon. As part of Infopro Digital, a global information and technology group with over 4,000 employees across 26 countries, the division helps customers improve performance through innovative data, software and digital solutions.
About the role
We are looking for a General Manager to lead the UK business through its next phase of sustainable growth.

THE ROLE
Reporting into senior leadership within Infopro Digital Automotive, you will hold overall responsibility for the performance, growth and leadership of the UK business. You will set the UK strategy, translate it into clear priorities and ensure strong execution across commercial, customer-facing and operational activities.
You will lead the senior UK team, create alignment across functions and build an operating model that supports scalable recurring revenue, strong customer outcomes and consistent financial performance. As the senior representative of Infopro Digital Automotive in the UK, you will strengthen market presence, develop strategic relationships and ensure that the portfolio’s brands, products and capabilities are connected through a coordinated go-to-market strategy aligned with the wider international growth agenda.
