With dealerships across South Wales and the South West of England, we proudly represent leading manufacturers including Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, GWM and Mitsubishi. For these brands we supply new and used cars and vans, deliver after sales support and champion the Motability Scheme.

We’re proud to offer our customers and colleagues an experience built on Knowledge, Value, Transparency, and Trust — values that are at the heart of everything we do.

About The Role

Are you an experienced automotive professional with a passion for driving performance and delivering outstanding customer experiences? Wessex Garages Hyundai, Penarth Road Cardiff, is looking for a proactive and commercially-minded Business Manager to join our high-performing sales team.

As a Business Manager, you will play a key role in supporting the sales function by maximising vehicle profitability through the promotion of finance and insurance products. You'll ensure our sales process is followed to the highest standard and that every customer receives a transparent, informative, and engaging experience.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the vehicle sales process by promoting and securing finance and insurance products that meet customer needs and maximise profitability.
  • Oversee daily sales activity, working closely with Sales Executives to ensure effective deal structuring, negotiation, and customer satisfaction.
  • Maintain and manage the customer database, ensuring accuracy and compliance with brand and regulatory standards.
  • Provide training, coaching, and day-to-day support to the Sales Team to ensure compliance with consumer law and awareness of market conditions and competitor activity.
  • Collaborate with the Sales Manager on performance reviews, goal setting, and personal development plans for Sales Executives.

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.
