Head of Sales

Head of Sales

County Durham, Greater Manchester & West Yorkshire 55,000 to 65,000 basic + commission OTE 80,000 to 100,000

Want to help build the future of car retail? Not run the old version of it?

We're working with a fast-growing used car retailer that thinks like a tech business. Customers can buy fully online, the on-site journey is moving towards self-serve, and every site hit its volume target last month. Now they need a Head of Sales to lead their Northern sites.

The patch

You'll cover a group of sites across the County Durham, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and the West Midlands. This is a field-based role, so you'll need to live within easy reach of all three, ideally somewhere along the A1 or M62.

The role

• Own sales performance across your sites: units, profitability and the wider numbers
• Coach and develop your Sales Managers so they bring out the best in their teams
• Drive consistent standards and great customer service at every site
• Work alongside preparation, service and aftersales teams to keep the customer journey joined up
• Champion digital and self-serve buying, and bring your teams with you
• Bring fresh ideas from outside traditional car retail

About you

• A genuine coach. You can show real examples of people you've developed and promoted
• A future thinker. Tech, AI and digital customer journeys excite you
• Commercially strong. You've owned the numbers across multiple sites or a region
• A multi-site leader. You're used to leading teams you don't see every day and managing your time on the road
• Based in the patch, within easy reach of County Durham, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire

Out of sector? Good. That's often exactly what they want. Strong backgrounds could include multi-site retail, senior contact centre operations, SaaS or digital sales leadership, or automotive, as long as you bring a modern, tech-led mindset.

The package

• 55,000 to 65,000 basic, depending on experience
• Commission on top
• Company Car
• Senior regional leadership in a business that invests in its people
• Their own systems, so full training is provided
