Are you ready to take the next big step in your automotive sales career?


We're looking for a driven and dynamic General Sales Manager to lead the sales department of a well-established franchised dealership. Whether you're an experienced Sales Manager ready for a fresh challenge, or a high-performing Business Manager or ASM ready to step up - we want to hear from you.

  • Work closely with the senior management team to drive profitability

What We're Looking For:
  • A natural leader with a hands-on approach and strong people skills

  • Someone with energy, character, and a drive to succeed

  • A coach and mentor, not just a manager

  • Experience in a franchised dealership is ideal, but we will consider candidates ready to step up

What's on Offer:
  • Basic salary of £35k-£45k depending on experience plus a bonus based on a percentageof the bottom line - uncapped earnings potential

  • A genuine opportunity to make your mark and grow with the business

  • Stable team and supportive management

  • Occasional Sunday contact (no regular Sunday hours)
