We''re looking for an experienced and driven Sales/Business Manager to join our team and take a central role in growing all aspects of our Finance & Insurance (F&I) operations, while also helping lead and develop the sales team.

Your Responsibilities:

Finance & Insurance:

• Take full ownership of the F&I department, growing product penetration and profitability across all platforms
• Present and sell a range of finance and insurance products with integrity and clarity
• Ensure customers fully understand their agreements and obligations, in line with compliance and FCA guidelines
• Treat customers fairly and with transparency, making their experience smooth, informed, and personalised

Sales Operations & Leadership:

• Be involved in every sales enquiry to ensure a seamless transition from vehicle sale to finance completion
• Support the day-to-day running of the sales team and help drive overall vehicle sales performance
• Help lead and inspire the team with a hands-on, "lead from the front" approach

Coaching & Team Development:

• Act as a mentor and coach for the sales team, helping colleagues unlock their full potential
• Drive performance by supporting individual targets for finance, add-on products, and sales
• Foster a collaborative, motivated, and accountable team environment
