General Sales Manager

This is a significant leadership position in a long-established, family-owned dealership. We are looking for an accomplished automotive retail leader who combines strong operational discipline with the ability to develop people, build culture, and drive results.

This is not an office-only leadership role. Our GSM is expected to be engaged in the business every day - coaching managers and salespeople, desking deals, taking TOs, appraising vehicles, reviewing performance, solving problems, and setting the standard for the sales organization.

What You'll Lead

The General Sales Manager has broad responsibility for:

• Chevrolet, GMC, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram new vehicle sales
• Used vehicle sales and inventory performance
• Finance & Insurance
• Sales managers and sales team development
• CRM, lead management and sales process execution
• Inventory strategy, pricing and appraisals
• Recruiting, training and accountability
• Overall sales department profitability and growth

You will work closely with executive leadership while having significant responsibility for how the sales organization operates and performs.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• The ability to build processes and consistently hold people accountable to them
• Experience coaching and developing both salespeople and sales managers
• Strong financial and analytical instincts
• The confidence to make decisions and take ownership of results
• A leadership style that combines high standards with humility, professionalism and strong relationships

We value leaders who pay attention to the details, follow through, and create clarity around expectations. At the same time, our culture matters. The right GSM will know how to challenge people, earn trust, and bring a team together.

Why Harry Brown's?

Harry Brown's has been family owned and operated since 1968. We represent Chevrolet, GMC, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram and operate a significant used vehicle business. Our broader organization includes Service, Parts, ABRA Auto Body, Faribault Tire, Express Car Wash, Detail, and commercial/fleet operations.

Our mission: Help families live a better life.
