The successful applicant for the Business Manager position will be an excellent communicator with first-class presentation skills and have extensive automotive showroom experience at a similar franchised dealership.

The successful candidate for the Business Manager position will have an outgoing and friendly personality, be highly motivated, numerate, and target driven whilst being organised with a great eye for detail, as well as being committed and reliable.
The successful applicant for the position of Business Manager will have primary responsibility for:
· Maximising the sales department’s performance and profitability on all F&I and Value-Added Products.
· Placing finance proposal/applications with a panel of lenders in line with company policy.
· Promoting accurate and efficient order processing and assisting with timely vehicle deliveries.
· Assist with the on-going coaching and development of the sales team.
· Assisting the Sales Manager in maintaining the highest level of customer satisfaction at each franchise.
