Sales Manager - Used Car BMW Sales

Average 5 day week | 1-in-2 Saturdays | OTE £86,000

At Williams, our Sales Managers do far more than deliver results, they inspire teams, drive performance and create an outstanding customer journey.

Based in our Used car department at Williams Bolton, this role offers the chance to lead from the front in a fast-paced, premium retail environment.

This is more than a traditional Sales Manager role. At Williams, you’ll lead a team within a high-performing, premium brand environment, supported by strong stock availability, clear processes and a business that invests in both its people and its performance.

Earnings Potential & Progression

You will be on a competitive salary alongside a realistic and achievable commission structure.

With an OTE of £86,000 and the opportunity to overachieve and earn up to £100,000

Working Pattern

You will work a 2-week rotating shift pattern, an average of 5 days per week, with a 1-in-2 weekend rota giving you a manageable working pattern.

About The Sales Manager Role

As Sales Manager, you’ll lead and develop a team of Sales Executives, driving performance, professionalism and customer outcomes across a busy used car sales operation.

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.
