Overview
Mercor is staffing a short, focused advisory engagement for a strategist who has spent years inside or alongside luxury automakers. You read the strategy materials, the market analysis, and the recommendation set, then answer one question: would a CEO, CFO, or Chief Strategy Officer at a marque like Ferrari, Porsche, or Bentley find this credible and worth acting on? The review covers brand scarcity, volume and allocation discipline, pricing power, bespoke programs, residual values, and electrification plans, all measured against how these businesses run day to day. Feedback comes back in structured writing, with an optional debrief call.
What You'll Do7
- Read strategy decks, market analyses, and recommendation sets built for the luxury automotive space and judge each section on its merits.
- Test the material the way a CEO, CFO, CMO, or Chief Strategy Officer at a luxury marque would, asking whether it holds up as credible and actionable.
- Surface logic gaps, unsupported assumptions, red flags, and contradictions that run through the insights and recommendations.
- Flag where a recommendation clashes with luxury auto economics: brand scarcity and exclusivity, production volume discipline, pricing power, and dealer and client relationships.
- Name what the team left out, meaning the considerations a luxury auto leadership group expects to see covered before it approves spend.
- Weigh bespoke and personalisation programs, brand heritage, and electrification plans against how these brands protect long-term equity.
- Write structured feedback that lists strengths, concerns, and specific improvements, and join a short debrief call when the client asks for one.
Requirements7
- 10+ years in business strategy, with a substantial share of that work focused on the luxury automotive sector.
- Background as a Partner, Principal, Associate Partner, or senior consultant at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or a comparable firm, with casework for luxury or premium automotive clients.
- Or senior leadership and strategy experience inside a luxury automaker, covering corporate strategy, brand, commercial, product planning, or the executive office.
- Or senior advisor or board-level work with luxury automotive brands or adjacent ultra-luxury brands.
- Fluency in how luxury auto executives decide: brand positioning, volume and allocation strategy, pricing, customer experience, and long-term brand equity.
- A track record of reviewing strategy documents and returning sharp, structured, executive-ready critique.
- Strong written English.
Who Should Apply
The fit is a former strategy partner or in-house strategist who has sat in rooms where luxury auto allocation, pricing, and brand equity get decided. Consulting casework or a leadership seat at a marque such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Rolls-Royce gives you the judgment this review depends on.
Salary Insight
Pay is $300 to $350 per hour for this advisory engagement. Rates at that level match a partner or senior advisor profile, so the client will weigh your prior luxury automotive casework more than general strategy experience.
