Automotive General Manager | Dealership General Manager | Head of Business

A fantastic career opportunity has opened for an accomplished Automotive General Manager to lead a modern, high‑potential dealership operation in Aberdeen. This is an ideal role for a results‑driven leader with strong Aftersales expertise and a proven track record of elevating performance across all vehicle departments.

We are looking for a visible, hands‑on General Manager who inspires teams, drives operational excellence and delivers outstanding customer experience. This site has significant long‑term growth potential, making it an exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader who wants to shape the next phase of performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, motivate and develop high performing teams across all departments
• Provide clear leadership to ensure alignment and consistency across the entire site
• Drive growth across Aftersales, Used Vehicle and Commercial sales channels
• Enhance customer satisfaction and support strong CSI performance
• Embed a positive, collaborative and future‑focused site culture
• Ensure robust processes, operational standards and full compliance
• Work closely with senior leadership to deliver strong commercial results
• Represent the brand professionally and uphold exceptional customer service standards

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as an Automotive General Manager / Head of Business
• Strong understanding of Aftersales operations and performance drivers
• A visible, influential leader with excellent communication skills
• Ability to coach, support and unify teams to achieve shared goals
• Commercially astute with a history of delivering measurable results
• Strategic mindset combined with a hands‑on leadership style
• Confident decision‑maker with strong operational awareness

What’s On Offer

• Market‑leading salary and OTE (dependent on experience)
• Relocation package available
• Opportunity to lead a modern site with substantial growth potential
• Supportive leadership team and a forward‑thinking environment
• 3‑stage interview process (video interview available at stage one)
• Final stage may include a short task or presentation
• Ideal start date: January

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers the chance to take ownership of a key site in the network, influence its future direction and build a strong, high‑performing culture. If you are a confident, people‑focused General Manager who thrives in a dynamic environment, this opportunity offers real scope to make an impact.
