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 Geely—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, purpose-built facility in Bradford.
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:
- Leadership & Culture: Building, motivating, and coaching a brand-new, high-performing sales team to achieve excellence.
- Performance Driving: Implementing effective sales strategies to meet and exceed volume, finance, and add-on targets.
- Showroom Control: Enforcing robust sales processes and maximising every single profit opportunity for the business.
- Customer Experience: Ensuring the brand-new facility delivers a seamless, premium, and exceptional customer journey.
What We Are Looking For
- Proven Track Record: At least 2 years of experience as an Automotive Sales Manager or Business Manager 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, uncapped £75,000 OTE.
- Work-Life Balance: A structured 5-day working week with alternate weekends off.
- 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.
