  • Lewis Crowe - Product Manager - RACV

    Method of communication: email (upon request)
    Dates of Employment: June 2017 – July 2019

    1. Please confirm the candidate’s role and responsibilities.

    Bianca worked as a Mobility Product Specialist and Event Manager at RACV under my supervision. Her primary responsibilities included managing, optimising, and growing assigned mobility products such as Melbourne Bike Share, Mobility-as-a-Service, and the Commuter Pass. She was also involved in developing marketing strategies, coordinating events, and working on cross-functional projects. Bianca was instrumental in the long-term planning for our eBikes product, overseeing the coordination of sales training, and managing relationships with our third-party partners.

    2. Can you describe her strengths in the role?

    Bianca’s strengths are numerous. She is extremely organised and detail-oriented, which allowed her to handle multiple projects simultaneously without losing track of timelines or objectives. Her ability to communicate effectively with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders was exceptional, fostering strong and productive relationships. She is also a creative problem-solver, often finding innovative ways to address challenges that arose. One of her standout strengths is her adaptability – she quickly grasps new concepts, adjusts to changes, and maintains composure under pressure. Her commitment to the role was evident, and she consistently aimed for high-quality outcomes.

    3. How did she perform in team environments and cross-functional collaborations?

    Bianca excelled in collaborative environments. She worked well with various departments, aligning her projects with RACV’s broader organisational goals. Her ability to liaise with marketing, sales, and technical teams to ensure consistent messaging and alignment across all channels was impressive.

Her positive, approachable personality contributed to a supportive team dynamic, and she was frequently seen as a go-to resource within our division.

Her strong sense of accountability was a key factor in her success, and I could trust her to manage both large and small projects independently.

    6. Are there any areas for improvement that you identified?

    While Bianca performed exceptionally well, her drive for perfection occasionally led her to invest extra time in tasks to ensure they met her high standards. While this attention to detail contributed positively to the quality of her work, a slight adjustment in balancing her time across multiple tasks could further enhance her efficiency. However, this was a minor aspect, and she was always open to feedback and eager to improve.

    7. Would you rehire her or recommend her for a similar role?

    Without hesitation, I would rehire Bianca and highly recommend her for any role that requires a blend of strategic thinking, organisational skills, and creativity. Her contributions at RACV were invaluable, and her professionalism and work ethic make her an asset to any team.
