Sales Manager

About the role

Mercedes-Benz of Bath is currently recruiting for a Sales/Business Manager to join their growing team.

We're looking for an experienced and driven Sales/Business Manager to join our team and take a central role in growing all aspects of our Finance & Insurance (F&I) operations, while also helping lead and develop the sales team.

This is more than a finance-focused role you'll be at the heart of every sales enquiry, responsible for delivering exceptional customer experience, coaching the team, and driving both unit and F&I performance across the business for new and used sales.

Your Responsibilities:

Finance & Insurance:

• Take full ownership of the F&I department, growing product penetration and profitability across all platforms
• Present and sell a range of finance and insurance products with integrity and clarity
• Ensure customers fully understand their agreements and obligations, in line with compliance and FCA guidelines
• Treat customers fairly and with transparency, making their experience smooth, informed, and personalised

Sales Operations & Leadership:

• Be involved in every sales enquiry to ensure a seamless transition from vehicle sale to finance completion
• Support the day-to-day running of the sales team and help drive overall vehicle sales performance
• Help lead and inspire the team with a hands-on, "lead from the front" approach

Coaching & Team Development:

• Act as a mentor and coach for the sales team, helping colleagues unlock their full potential
• Drive performance by supporting individual targets for finance, add-on products, and sales
• Foster a collaborative, motivated, and accountable team environment

Sytner Sales/Business Managers work a variety of flexible patterns which can typically include weekends to ensure we provide our customers with the highest possible levels of service.
