A Sales Manager needed to take real ownership of the used vehicle operation at our operation in West Sussex. This isn't a sales role where you're just handed a stock list and asked to hit a target. You'll have the opportunity to shape the strategy, source the vehicles, build the customer base and grow the whole operation.

BASIC SALARY: up to £55,000

BENEFITS:
· Performance Bonus
· 25 days holiday + Bank Holidays
· Statutory sick pay
· Workplace pension

JOB DESCRIPTION: Sales Manager - Commercial Vehicle, Automotive

As our Sales Manager, you'll have ownership of the complete used vehicle lifecycle; from finding and acquiring the right stock, through appraisal and preparation, all the way to pricing, marketing, negotiating the deal and handing the vehicle over to a happy customer.

You'll be responsible for:
· Developing and delivering the used vehicle business plan and hitting agreed sales and gross-profit targets.
· Sourcing quality used minibuses, midi-coaches and specialist passenger vehicles.
· Managing appraisals, valuations, pricing and preparation costs.
· Building relationships with operators, fleets, local authorities, dealers, leasing and rental companies and other industry contacts.
· Identifying part-exchange opportunities alongside the new vehicle sales team.
· Generating new business through existing databases, website inquiries, marketing activity and your own industry network.
· Keeping a close eye on stock levels, stock age, depreciation, margins and working capital.
· Working with Workshop, Parts, Aftersales and Marketing to make sure vehicles are prepared and presented properly.
· Looking at what's working, what's not and continually improving the processes behind the used vehicle operation.

PERSON SPECIFICATION: Sales Manager - Commercial Vehicle, Automotive

We're looking for someone who understands used vehicles commercially and knows how to turn stock into profit. You'll ideally have experience in used vehicle sales, purchasing, re marketing or a similar commercial role, preferably within buses, coaches, minibuses, vans, trucks, fleet, leasing, rental or specialist commercial vehicles.

You'll need a good understanding of:
· Vehicle appraisals and valuations
· Preparation costs
· Pricing and negotiation
· Gross-margin management
· Stock aging and stock turn
· Working-capital control
· Vehicle purchasing and disposal
