Acquisition Manager
Location: Field-based (UK)
Type: Self-employed / Commission-based (initially) → Path to full-time leadership role
About us
Garage Buddy is a fast-growing SaaS platform built specifically for automotive garages. We help workshops streamline operations, improve customer communication, and increase revenue through modern digital tools — from job cards and automated updates to professional reports and smart reminders.
We’re now looking for a highly motivated Acquisition Manager to help us expand rapidly by bringing Garage Buddy directly to garages across the UK.
The Role
This is a field-based sales role focused on acquiring new garage customers through in-person visits, product demos, and relationship building.
You’ll be the face of Garage Buddy on the ground — demonstrating the product, understanding garage needs, and closing deals.
This role is commission-driven, with strong earning potential:
- Commission paid per successful sale
- Ongoing revenue share from subscriptions you bring in
As we grow, this role is designed to evolve into a Commercial Manager / Sales Leadership position, where you’ll help shape our go-to-market strategy and potentially lead a wider sales team.
