Are you ready to drive beyond the possible; to work for an industry game-changer alongside a pioneering, well established electric vehicle brand, new to the UK market in 2023?

Here at Stratstone, powered by Pendragon, we’re excited to be embarking on a new and innovative partnership, and we’re looking for a motivational Sales Leader to play a key part in shaping our future as we move forwards with one of the most exciting automotive brands to ever hit the UK market.

BYD (Build Your Dreams) is a pioneer in new automotive technology. Having been first established in China in 1995, the brand has since trailblazed the way forwards for electric vehicle technology. Their revolutionary innovations include their Blade Battery and exclusive E-Platform 3.0 interface, both of which have helped their vehicles to achieve five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings, thanks to unrivalled intuitive systems. 2023 sees the launch of this incredible brand in the UK, and we’re looking for a visionary and innovative individual to help drive the new Stratstone and BYD partnership forwards.

As Sales Leader, you’ll be leading, motivating and developing your sales team in one of the first ever BYD UK stores. You’ll be continuously looking for ways to help your Personal Advisors to become experts with their customers as they experience this game-changing NEV (New Energy Vehicle) brand for the first time on the UK market, always being authentic and boosting store profitability. This is an ideal chance for an open-minded and innovative individual to assist in transforming the automotive industry, in a collaborative place that recognises drive and commitment.

What you’ll be responsible for in your Sales Leader role:

• Motivating and supporting your team of Personal Advisors to maximise sales across the store, whilst establishing clear individual and team targets, empowered by your inspirational leadership style
• Driving the Stratstone and BYD partnership forwards, becoming a trailblazer for the latest in electric automotive technology and taking the brand to the next level
• Delivering outstanding levels of customer service, coaching your team of Personal Advisors to educate their customers on the BYD brand and benefits of their vehicles, to ultimately achieve and exceed sales expectations
• Leading by example and bringing the BYD brand to life for your team and your customers
• Ensuring that any negative customer feedback is at an absolute minimum, and efficiently resolved via the appropriate channels, so your customers drive away having had an exceptional experience

Do you have what it takes to be a Pendragon Associate? We’re looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in successfully leading, coaching and mentoring a high-performing sales team
• Knowledgeable in working within a sales department within a retail environment (ideally within the automotive industry)
• Ready to exceed expectations, having a record of achieving set targets and objectives
• Experienced in managing a departmental budget
• Passionate and driven to consistently deliver outstanding customer service
• Collaborative, innovative and accountable

Here at Pendragon, together, we’re unstoppable. Collaboration is at the heart of our culture, and it’s the power of our group coming together that unlocks our potential to transform automotive retail. We thrive in a fast-paced environment where the doors are open, if you have the attitude and drive to walk through them. We’ll empower you with the opportunities to bring out the best in yourself, and in return you’ll support and bring out the best in others. If this sounds like a perfect fit for you, then apply today and join our journey in driving beyond the possible.
