Are you an inspiring automotive sales leader ready to take the next step in your career?

At Vertu Hyundai Nottingham, we're looking for an experienced and driven General Sales Manager to lead our high-performing sales team and play a key role in delivering exceptional commercial results and customer experiences.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK's leading motor retailers, where you'll enjoy a competitive basic salary of £45000, an OTE of £65000, a company car, and industry-leading career development opportunities.

Why Join Us?

At Vertu Motors, we believe great leaders create great teams. You'll have the opportunity to shape dealership performance, develop talented colleagues, and make a real impact on both customer satisfaction and business success.

In return, we'll provide the support, training, and career opportunities that allow you to continue growing as a leader within our organisation.

About The Role

As General Sales Manager, you will be responsible for leading, coaching, and inspiring a team of Business Managers, Sales Executives, and support colleagues to achieve outstanding results across both new and used vehicle sales.

  • Managing the sales process to ensure exceptional customer outcomes at every stage of the journey
  • Monitoring performance against key targets and implementing action plans where required

  • Creating a positive, collaborative, and success-driven team environment

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
