Sales Manager

Sales Manager
Up to £40,000 basic + long-term career progression
Office based role

Take real ownership of a growing automotive business and put yourself on a clear path to future Director level.

This is a hands-on Sales Manager role for someone who wants more than targets and reports. You will work directly with the business owner, shape sales strategy, follow through on buying group opportunities and help build a stronger, more scalable operation. Your contribution will be visible, valued and directly linked to business growth.

If you are looking for autonomy, responsibility and the chance to grow with a small but ambitious company, this could be a rare opportunity.

The opportunity

Our client already has buying group approvals and a solid foundation in place. What they now need is a commercially minded Sales Manager who will roll their sleeves up, take ownership and turn potential into consistent performance.

You will manage sales while also supporting day-to-day operations, giving you full visibility of how the business runs and the chance to influence decisions.

For the right person, there is genuine scope to progress into a Director role as the company grows.

What you will achieve

You will:

• Drive sales growth by turning buying group approvals into regular revenue
• Take ownership of day-to-day sales activity, improving consistency and customer retention
• Build strong relationships with customers and suppliers, strengthening the commercial network
• Use sales data to spot opportunities and guide smarter decisions
• Help shape processes and strategy as the business develops

Everything you do feeds directly into growth, stability and your own career progression.

What you bring

You will suit this role if you have automotive sales or commercial management experience, enjoy being hands-on, and want to help build a business rather than just manage one. E-commerce experience in automotive is highly desirable.

What you get

• Up to £40,000 basic salary
• Direct access to the business owner and real influence
• Autonomy and responsibility from day one
• Clear long-term progression, including future Director potential
• Small team environment with no corporate politics
• The chance to help shape the future of the business

If you want a role where your impact is obvious and your career has room to grow, this is well worth a conversation.
