Be Part of Something Groundbreaking from Day One

Are you a high-performing automotive sales leader ready for the ultimate career milestone?

Cars2 is thrilled to announce our expansion with Lepas - one of the world's most innovative, tech-driven, and fastest-growing global automotive groups. To spearhead this exciting launch, we are seeking a dynamic, driven, and visionary Sales Manager to lead our brand-new, Dealership In Wakefield

This is a rare opportunity to build, shape, and drive a high-performing sales operation from the ground up, representing a powerhouse manufacturer leading the charge in automotive technology and EV innovation.

Why Cars2? We Are Employee-Owned.

Cars2 is one of Yorkshire's fastest-growing and most profitable independent dealer groups. Across our 18 franchise sites and 8 brands, we are large enough to dominate the market but small enough to genuinely care about our people.

Best of all, Cars2 is part of a government employee ownership scheme (EOT). This means when the business succeeds, you benefit directly. It's a unique structure that fosters a truly collaborative, rewarding, and supportive culture you won't find at standard corporates.

The Role: Leading to Win

As our Sales Manager, you will be the driving force behind the showroom's success. Your core responsibilities will include:

• Performance Driving: Implementing effective sales strategies to meet and exceed volume, finance, and add-on targets.

What We Are Looking For

• Proven Track Record: At least 2 years of experience as an Automotive Business Manager, Assistant Manager or Senior Sales Exec considered within a franchise dealership environment.
• Strategic Leadership: Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a natural ability to inspire a team and manage showroom culture.
• Tech & Market Savvy: A strong understanding of modern automotive retail trends, including electric vehicles (EVs) and digital sales funnels.
• Results-Oriented Attitude: A positive, enthusiastic, and relentless drive to succeed.
• Requirements: A full, valid UK driving licence is essential.

What's on Offer?

• Financial Reward: Highly competitive basic salary with a realistic salary of up to £75,000 OTE.
• Work-Life Balance: A structured 5-day working week with weekends off on a rota system
• Peace of Mind: Company car, Company pension, life assurance scheme, and access to the comprehensive Sage Benefits Package.
• Future Growth: Exceptional career development paths as Cars2 continues its aggressive expansion across Yorkshire.
