Be Part of Something Groundbreaking from Day One
Are you a high-performing automotive sales leader ready for the ultimate career milestone? Cars2 is thrilled to announce our expansion with Geely - one of the world’s most innovative, tech-driven, and fastest-growing global automotive groups. To spearhead this exciting launch, we are seeking a dynamic, driven, and visionary Sales Manager to lead our brand-new, purpose-built facility in Bradford.
This is a rare opportunity to build, shape, and drive a high-performing sales operation from the ground up, representing a powerhouse manufacturer leading the charge in automotive technology and EV innovation.
Why Cars2? We Are Employee-Owned.
Cars2 is one of Yorkshire’s fastest-growing and most profitable independent dealer groups. Across our 18 franchise sites and 8 brands, we are large enough to dominate the market but small enough to genuinely care about our people.
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.
