£60,000 - £70,000 BASIC + £100,000+ UNCAPPED OTE
Pembrook Resourcing are currently recruiting for an experienced Head of Business to join a successful automotive dealership in Kidlington.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious senior automotive professional looking for a role with real responsibility, excellent earning potential and the opportunity to drive the overall performance of a dealership.
At Pembrook Resourcing, we pride ourselves on doing things differently. We believe in honest advice, building genuine relationships and putting the right people into the right businesses. We take the time to understand both our candidates and clients, meaning we only put forward opportunities that genuinely make sense.
The Role
As Head of Business, you will take overall responsibility for the day-to-day running, commercial performance and profitability of the dealership. You will lead and develop the management team, drive performance across all departments and ensure the business consistently delivers against its targets.
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.
