Looking for a business manager role where you can manage your own schedule?

Excited by the challenge of growing sales and building strong customer relationships within the automotive aftermarket?

If the answer is yes, this could be the perfect role for you!

Our client, a world-renowned manufacturer of premium automotive products, is looking for a UK Business Manager to cover Northern England & Scotland. With over 100 years of success, they are known for their high-quality products, market-leading customer service, and strong presence in the independent automotive aftermarket.

Ideally, you will be based in Yorkshire, Derbyshire or Lincolnshire; however, consideration will be given if you live in the North of England.

What's in it for you?

1. Salary up to £38K + 25% bonus
2. Company car
3. 10% employer pension contributions
4. 25 days holiday + bank holidays
5. Ongoing training & development to help you grow in your career

What's the role about?

You'll be managing an established customer base of motor factors, building strong relationships, and identifying new business opportunities. It's a field-based role, so you'll have the freedom to manage your own schedule, ensuring you're making the most of your time in front of customers.

What you'll be doing:

1. Looking after existing motor factor accounts and making sure they get the best service.
2. Spotting new sales opportunities and growing the brand's presence.
3. Attending industry events, trade shows, and exhibitions to connect with customers.
4. Working closely with internal teams to ensure customers' needs are met.
5. Analysing sales data to identify trends and ways to improve performance.

What we're looking for:

1. A natural relationship-builder with experience in a customer-facing sales role.
2. Confident negotiator who can engage with people at all levels.
3. Proactive and organised, able to manage your own schedule effectively.
4. Experience in the independent automotive aftermarket is a bonus, but not essential.
5. Willing to travel across the UK and occasionally overseas.

If you want to develop your career as a UK Business Manager with a leading global brand, we'd love to hear from you!
