This is a rare opportunity to join a prestigious Ferrari retailer and play a key role in delivering an outstanding customer experience synonymous with one of the most recognised names in the luxury automotive sector.
Whether you already have experience within a prestige or luxury automotive environment, or you are an accomplished premium Sales Manager looking to step into a prestige brand setting, this role offers the chance to take your career to the next level.
As General Sales Manager, you will be responsible for leading and developing a successful sales team, including Business Managers, Sales Executives and support colleagues. Through coaching, mentorship and active leadership, you will drive performance, maximise profitability and ensure the delivery of exceptional customer experiences throughout every stage of the sales journey.
You will oversee the sale of new and used vehicles, finance products and additional services, whilst maintaining the highest standards of customer satisfaction, compliance and ethical sales practices. You will also lead sales campaigns and promotional activities, ensuring the dealership continues to deliver outstanding commercial results.

As a values-driven business, we expect our leaders to set the highest standards in everything they do. You will create an environment built on trust, integrity and customer focus, ensuring customers receive products and services that genuinely meet their needs.
You will play a key role in promoting responsible business practices, driving long-term customer loyalty and protecting the reputation of both Carrs Ferrari and Vertu Motors.
Successful candidates will be required to complete a DBS check, Fit and Proper Person assessments and employment referencing as part of our pre-employment screening process.
We are proud to be one of the UK's leading automotive retailers and invest heavily in the development of our colleagues. Joining Carrs Ferrari Exeter means becoming part of a business that is committed to helping you build a successful and rewarding career.
