Sales Manager – Automotive Marketplace

Salary: Up to £65k basic + £25k bonus (uncapped)

 Hybrid: 2 days in office / 3 days WFH

 

This is a brilliant opportunity for a proven Sales Leader to join a fast-growing and disruptive Automotive Marketplace that’s making serious waves in the industry.

 

About the Business:

 

 

Backed by major investment and driven by innovation, this business is building a best-in-class solution that delivers real ROI to car dealerships.

 

With one simple price, dealers gain access to a network of high-traffic sites – including household names you’ll definitely recognise – to help get their vehicles seen and sold.

 

And the brand presence is huge: they’re all over TV, radio, out-of-home advertising, and even sponsor a Premier League football club.

 

The Role:

 

We’re looking for a plug-and-play Sales Leader who’s ready to hit the ground running. You’ll be leading a team of 7 Inside Sales Account Managers, each responsible for managing around 200 existing dealership accounts.

 

Your mission?

 

Drive value, position your team as trusted product experts, and deliver outstanding retention and growth.

 

Key Responsibilities:

 

• Lead, mentor, and motivate your team to achieve KPIs and sales targets

 

• Design and deliver exceptional onboarding and training

 

• Create a performance-driven culture where people thrive

 

• Develop smart strategies to retain and grow key accounts

 

• Use data to identify opportunities and highlight ROI to clients

 

• Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and other teams to enhance customer experience

 

• Report insights and performance trends to senior leadership

 

About You:

 

• 2+ years experience in a dedicated Sales Manager role

 

• You’ve led account management-focused teams handling onboarding, upsells, renewals, and reviews

 

• You know how to create high-performing, fun, and inclusive team cultures

 

• You’re data-driven and confident in using metrics to showcase value

 

• You’ve built or managed elite, high-output teams

 

• Background in SaaS, marketplace, or media/advertising sales

 

 

Perks & Benefits:

 

• Uncapped bonus potential

 

• Pension scheme (up to 9% employer contribution)

 

• Discretionary bonus

 

• Employee recognition scheme with great prizes

 

 

Work-Life Balance

 

• 25 days holiday (increases with service)

 

• Hybrid and flexible working options

 

• Family-friendly leave

 

• Free counselling and wellbeing support

 

 

Health & Insurance
