Work-life balance matters

• 40-hour work week (five 8-hour shifts).
• Most Saturdays are worked (our busiest day), but you’ll always get a weekday off.
• Sundays are yours - we’re closed, so you can truly recharge.

Your Role

As part of our team, you’ll represent the dealership known for quality and innovation, delivering a premium customer experience at every stage. You’ll benefit from full training and a comprehensive onboarding programme designed to set you up for success and help you maximise your earning potential.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Managing the process from initial conversation through to handover while building trusted relationships, always acting with integrity and in the best interests of the customer
• Clearly presenting finance, insurance, and accessory options in a clear, compliant way, ensuring suitability, transparency, and aligned to customer needs while building long-term loyalty
• Generating new opportunities through prospecting and follow-up, using methods that play to your strengths
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to achieve shared goals
• Maintaining a highly organised approach, managing your diary and ensuring all admin processes are completed accurately and on time

What We’re Looking For

• Currently working as a Sales Executive within the automotive industry (minimum 12 months)
• Excellent organisation skills – able to manage a busy diary, prioritise effectively, and follow key processes
• Motivation and drive to achieve goals
• The ability to communicate clearly and authentically
• A strong commitment to delivering exceptional customer service
• Full UK driving licence (manual and automatic).

Benefits You’ll Love

We’re proud to be an employer of choice, investing more in colleague development than any other motor retailer. If you’re successful, you’ll enjoy ongoing training, career progression, and a supportive environment where individuality is valued.

• 25 days holiday, rising to 29 with service, plus bank holidays.
• Access to our rewards platform for cashback and discounts.
• Preferential service rates.
• Company car and colleague purchase scheme.
• Share incentive scheme and pension.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
