Job description

GENERAL MANAGER – AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP

Yuba City, Ca

$180,000 - $350,000 + Annual Earning Potential

Executive Leadership Opportunity

WE’RE LOOKING FOR A HANDS-ON OPERATOROur successful dealer group is seeking a highly driven General Manager to lead one of our dealership operations in beautiful Northern California.

We are looking for an operator – someone who understands every moving piece of a successful dealership and knows how to turn opportunity into results. Someone who is in charge, but also can work within financial budgets set by the group standard.

This is a significant leadership opportunity for an automotive professional who knows how to lead from the front, build a winning culture, develop people, drive profitability and take complete ownership of the operation.

We need a GM who is visible, engaged, accountable and knows how to get things done. Someone who still desks deals and interacts with customers every day.

GM experience is a strong plus, but we are willing to consider an exceptional automotive executive with the leadership ability and proven track record to step into the role.

Great leaders need to be great learners. With our group resources and support team, we need a leader who is confident enough to seek help and support where there is a great quantity of training and support offered.If your experience is so vast and amazing, you have nothing left to learn, this opportunity is not for you. Our progressive group gets better every month—together.Your autonomy and latitude in your role has nothing to do with how much you know or what you may have accomplished before. If you run a dealership at our optimum level of 5% or more Net to Sales, you’ll be given a wide berth to lead and run your store.

Expect more collaboration if you are not as profitable as our standards call for. It’s a commitment to help you succeed and get better, not a stick. A true opportunity to grow and learn more and expand your life’s success.

You need to know your numbers. You need to know your departments. You need to know your people. And when something needs to get done, you make it happen.

THE RIGHT CANDIDATE WILL:

• Take complete ownership of dealership performance and oversight
• Lead and develop team members
• Know technology and are able to lead in using it
• Drive sales, gross, CSI, fixed operations and overall profitability
• Recruit, train, coach and retain strong managers
• Hold department leaders accountable
• Maintain strong manufacturer relationships and standards
• Identify opportunities and solve problems quickly
• Build a competitive, performance-driven culture
• Work closely with variable and fixed operations
• Be highly visible and engaged throughout the dealership
• Lead by example and execute
• Have Excellent communication and customer-service skills
• Possess a competitive mindset with a history of producing measurable results
• Have a high level of integrity, professionalism, and personal accountability

WHAT WE OFFER TO SUPPORT YOUR SUCCESS:

• Constant development and training will be provided in dealership financial statements and KPI's and benchmarks
• A support team to grow revenue and profitability for your dealership
• Experienced dept support team leading teams and department managers
• Resources to help expand your variable and fixed operations knowledge
• Exceptional leadership, communication and accountability support training
• Very clear financial standards and group wide data to help us all get better

Benefits:
