Management, Sales Department, Car Dealership
£52000 per annum

A not-to-miss opportunity has become available for an experienced and professional Car Sales Manager at our client's franchise-approved car dealer in Cirencester.
  • Salary: Negotiable basic salary pending experience, plus bonuses, providing a £52,000+ uncapped annual on-target earnings.
  • Hours: Mon-Fri 9:00am-6:00pm with a day off in the week, Sat 9:00am-5:00pm, and Sun 10:00am-4:00pm on a rota.
  • Benefits: Company car and laptop, enhanced annual leave, manufacturer training, staff purchase discounts, and a chance to work with a car brand offering a varied product range and a focus on developing new electric models.
Reporting to the Group Sales Director and responsible for a small and friendly sales team, you will take full responsibility for the sales operation across new and used vehicles, creating a high-performing culture while delivering exceptional customer experiences. This is not a desk-based management role. Our client is looking for a hands-on, visible leader who enjoys being on the showroom floor, engaging with customers, supporting the team and leading from the front.

Key responsibilities will include: 
  • Lead, motivate and develop the sales team to achieve and exceed targets.
  • Drive new vehicle sales across our client's brands, alongside used vehicle sales.
  • Maintain exceptional standards of customer service and satisfaction.
  • Manage the sales process from enquiry through to delivery, maximising conversion.
  • Monitor stock levels, vehicle preparation and merchandising standards.
  • Drive strong F&I performance and overall profitability.
  • Coach and develop team members to maximise their potential.
  • Identify new business opportunities and build strong local relationships.
  • Produce accurate reporting and ensure compliance with manufacturer and company standards.
To be eligible, recent or current car sales management experience within a franchise-approved dealership would be desirable, but is non-essential, and our client is willing to consider very experienced Business Manager/Sales Controllers looking to take the next step in their career. You will need to be motivated/self-driven, adaptable, and have total drive and ambition. You will become the role model for our client's brands, where the ability to lead by example will be as important as the results you deliver. Delighting customers is what sets our client apart, and being prepared to lead from the front is a key requirement. A UK driving licence with minimal points is also essential. 
 
What's in it for you? For your hard work as a Car Sales Manager, our client is offering...
  • Starting basic salary negotiable, pending experience.
  • Performance-related bonuses providing a £52,000+ uncapped annual on-target earnings.
  • Access to a personal company car.
  • 31 days annual holiday allowance, which increases over the length of service (any bank holidays worked, you shall gain a day off in lieu).
  • Full manufacturer-approved training/development.
  • Various company benefits, including personal health, eye and dental care, death in service benefit, pension scheme, access to an online retailer discount portal, free MOT test and 50% off servicing, amongst others.
  • Fantastic career prospects with a business that has a 'One Star' status for ‘Best Companies to Work For ', recognising a high standard of workplace engagement. 
  • Working hours from Monday to Friday, 9:00am-6:00pm, with one scheduled day off in the week and one 7:00pm late shift per week, Saturday 9.00am-5.00pm, and Sunday 10.00am-4.00pm on a rota.
