Looking for your next step after retail or hospitality?

If you’re great with people, love delivering brilliant customer experiences and thrive in a fast‑paced, target‑driven environment – you might have exactly what it takes to succeed in car sales.

We’re looking for Car Sales Executives from retail, hospitality or other customer‑facing sales backgrounds who want to turn their people skills into a high‑earning, long‑term career.

No Sunday working – proper work‑life balance

Clear progression and long‑term career opportunities

This is a role where service, rapport‑building and confidence matter just as much as sales skills – which is why many of our top performers previously worked in retail or hospitality.

What you’ll be doing

Welcoming customers and delivering an outstanding experience from start to finish
Understanding customer needs and matching them with the right vehicle and finance options
Arranging and conducting test drives
Building relationships that turn first‑time buyers into loyal, repeat customers
Working to achievable targets with the support of an experienced management team

We’d love to hear from you if you:

Have experience in retail, hospitality, leisure or customer‑facing sales
Are confident, motivated and enjoy speaking to people
Like working towards targets and being rewarded for success
Want a career where effort is properly recognised
Hold a full UK driving licence

What we offer

Uncapped commission with realistic, transparent earning potential
Company car as part of your package
No Sunday working for better balance
Full onboarding and structured training programme
Opportunity to build a long‑term career with progression
