About The Position

The Digital PU (Performance Unit) Lead has clear accountability for the execution, implementation, adoption, and commercial success of digital tools. While Central IT builds the tools, the MDL ensures those tools are localized, adopted by customers (distributors, workshops, B2B), and ultimately drive more lubricant sales. The Digital PU Lead delivers change at ground level, working closely with sales teams, distributors, and customers. This role is accountable for the digital transformation of the PU by prioritizing, deploying, and scaling digital products that solve local customer “friction points” whilst maintaining alignment with the global IT platforms, policies, and procedures. Acting as the senior conduit between global product teams and local market leadership teams, the role ensures global platforms are deployed effectively while fully addressing market-specific commercial, regulatory, and operational needs. The position provides clear strategic visibility and alignment across business priorities, digital strategy, technology investment, adoption performance, and measurable commercial outcomes.

Responsibilities

PU Gatekeeper: Reviews global digital projects (e.g., an automated ordering app) and "filters" them for local relevance, ensuring they don't fail due to local cultural or technical gaps.

Commercial Liaison: Sits in the local leadership team to represent "Digital" as a way to grow the P&L, not just as a technical support function.
Local Ecosystem Manager: Manages digital partnerships with local e-commerce players (e.g., Amazon, regional B2B marketplaces) to expand Castrol’s digital footprint. They are NOT the single point of contact (SPOC) for "traditional" IT services like fixing a broken laptop or setting up an ERP password.

Serve as the primary market interface to global product teams, influencing product strategy, sequencing, and delivery approaches.
Stakeholder Engagement - Build trusted, senior-level partnerships across business leadership, Marketing, Sales, Finance, and Digital functions.
