Ready to take the wheel of a high-performing sales team?

We’re looking for an ambitious, energetic and customer-focused Used Car Sales Manager to join our team in Crayford.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced automotive sales professional to take ownership of a dynamic, fast-paced sales department, drive commercial performance and, most importantly, bring out the very best in their team.

You’ll play a key role in achieving and exceeding sales targets, developing your people and ensuring every customer enjoys an outstanding experience from start to finish.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Used Car Sales Manager, you’ll lead from the front, creating a positive, motivated and high-performing sales environment. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading, coaching and developing the sales team to maximise individual and departmental performance.
  • Managing performance effectively, recognising great work and supporting your team to achieve their full potential.
  • Recruiting and selecting new team members in line with organisational and group requirements.
  • Championing customer satisfaction and ensuring consistently high standards of service across the centre.
  • Identifying and maximising commercial opportunities through effective events, campaigns and sales initiatives.
  • Understanding customer needs and local market trends to ensure campaigns are relevant, targeted and commercially successful.
  • Working closely with other departments to maintain an accurate and effective customer database.
  • Using commercial data and insight to identify opportunities, solve challenges and drive sustainable business growth.

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.
