Drive the future of automotive with JETOUR Australia
JETOUR Motor Australia is an automotive business operating in the aftersales accessories sector, working with a national dealer network to deliver genuine and approved accessories that enhance vehicle appeal, customer utility and dealer profitability.
About the role
The Accessory Manager will lead the development and growth of JETOUR Motor Australia's genuine and approved accessory business in Australia. This role is responsible for establishing a market-relevant accessory portfolio and the supporting commercial, supplier, technical, compliance and dealer processes required to operate the function effectively. The successful candidate will be responsible for taking accessories from customer and dealer insight through business case, sourcing, product development, vehicle integration, validation, pricing, launch and ongoing lifecycle management.
The role will work closely with JETOUR global teams, Australian suppliers and the national dealer network to develop safe, compliant, commercially sustainable accessories that support customer needs and dealer profitability. This is an opportunity for an experienced automotive accessory or product professional to build and shape the accessory function in Australia, rather than simply manage an established portfolio.
Key responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the Australian accessory strategy, product roadmap and launch plan aligned with JETOUR brand, model and customer priorities
- Build and develop the Australian accessory portfolio, identifying gaps and opportunities based on customer, dealer, competitor and vehicle-usage insights
- Lead accessory projects from concept and business case through quotation, specification, prototyping, tooling, approval, production and launch
- Translate Australian market and dealer requirements into clear product specifications and recommendations for global stakeholders
- Select, develop and manage approved suppliers using robust commercial, technical, quality, capacity, ethical-sourcing and continuity criteria
- Establish appropriate processes for accessory sourcing, product development, validation, approval and lifecycle management
- Define and document validation plans covering function, durability, corrosion, environmental exposure, vehicle integration, installation and foreseeable misuse
- Ensure required technical, safety and regulatory assessments are completed before release, including Australian Design Rule considerations
- Develop business cases and recommend retail, wholesale and campaign pricing that balance customer value,
dealer economics, competitiveness and JETOUR margin objectives
- Own accessory revenue, gross margin, penetration and portfolio reporting; analyse results by model, dealer, product and campaign
- Deliver accessory readiness for vehicle launches, including approved stock, pricing, imagery, catalogue data, installation instructions and warranty terms
- Establish dealer fitment standards and scalable training so accessories are installed safely, consistently and without damage to vehicle systems
- Monitor product performance, customer and dealer feedback, warranty trends and quality issues, driving corrective actions and continuous improvement
- Work collaboratively with Product, Aftersales, Parts, Network, Sales, Finance and Marketing teams to maximise the commercial performance of the accessory portfolio
About you
You will be an experienced automotive professional with a strong background in accessories, product management, parts, aftermarket or related commercial functions.

- Substantial automotive accessory, product, parts or commercial management experience within an OEM, distributor, manufacturer or major supplier environment
- Demonstrated experience taking physical products from prospect identification and business case through supplier development, validation, launch and lifecycle management
- Experience developing or establishing an accessory, aftermarket or product function, portfolio or strategy
- Strong commercial capability across pricing, margin, forecasting, negotiation, contracts and performance analysis
- Sound understanding of automotive accessory integration, dealer fitment, quality management and Australian safety and compliance considerations
- Strong stakeholder, supplier and project leadership skills
- Ability to work effectively with global Head Office teams while also understanding and advocating for Australian market requirements
- Current Australian driver's licence and ability to travel regularly
Desirable:
- Experience managing a genuine-accessory portfolio for an automotive OEM or national distributor
