An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented and ambitious General Manager / Head of Business to take charge of a high-performing used car dealership in the Waltham Cross area. Representing a business that caters to the full market - offering every make, model, and brand - this is a role for someone who thrives on challenge, leads from the front, and delivers results.
This is a flagship site for the group, offering significant scope to make your mark, influence performance, and develop a thriving team in a fast-paced, rewarding environment.
What's On Offer
* £70,000 basic salary
* Up to £106,000 OTE, plus profit share
* Fully electric company car
* Fast-growing company with excellent opportunities for career development
* A diverse, dynamic, and supportive team environment
About The Role
As Head of Business, you will be responsible for the overall performance and day-to-day operations of the dealership. You will inspire and lead a large team-over 30 sales executives-ensuring customer service excellence, consistent profitability, and operational efficiency.
You'll oversee all departments, with a strong focus on used car sales performance, and work closely with service and aftersales to maintain high standards across the site.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead, manage and develop the sales team, setting clear objectives and providing consistent feedback
* Drive business performance across all key metrics, particularly used car sales
* Oversee deal files, handovers, pipeline management, and stock control
* Uphold compliance and ensure an exceptional customer experience throughout the dealership
* Collaborate with service and aftersales functions (including two on-site technicians)
* Champion a culture of continuous improvement and innovation
What We're Looking For
* Proven success in automotive sales, ideally within a used car dealership or car supermarket
* Experience leading a large team and delivering outstanding commercial results
* Strong communication, negotiation, and organisational skills
* A hands-on leader with a clear customer-first mindset
* Commercially astute with a drive to exceed targets and grow the business
* Aftersales/service experience would be advantageous, but not essential
Working Pattern
* A mixture of weekdays and weekends, based on a rota.
* Typically 4 to 5 long days per week, in line with the dealership's extended opening hours (until 9 pm).
* Weekend working is essential due to peak business activity-one weekend off every 5-6 weeks (in addition to your usual 2 or 3 days off that week).
* Initial in-house training will include travel to other sites, with accommodation and mileage covered by the company.
Ideal For
* A driven General Sales Manager ready to step into a senior leadership role.
* Or an experienced Head of Business / Dealer Principal looking to take on a flagship site with strong support and real opportunity.
