The Role
As Sales Manager, you will take full responsibility for the sales operation across new and used vehicles, creating a high\-performing culture while delivering exceptional customer experiences.

- Build relationships within the local community and identify new business opportunities.
- Produce accurate reporting and ensure compliance with manufacturer and company standards.

You will be:
- An experienced Sales Manager or an ambitious Transaction Manager ready for the next step.
- Commercially minded with strong leadership and organisational skills.
- Passionate about customer experience and team development.
- Hands\-on, energetic and comfortable rolling your sleeves up to support the operation whenever needed.
