Product Specialist - Skoda
Donnelly Group have opened brand-new, state-of-the-art showrooms to welcome Volkswagen and Škoda into our family — and we want energetic, motivated people to join us on this exciting journey.
To mark this exciting milestone, we’re recruiting a Skoda Product Specialist who can deliver a customer experience as exceptional as our new showrooms and vehicle ranges.
We’re not just recruiting staff.
We’re looking for future stars.
People who want more than “just a job.”
What is a Product Specialist?
Think of yourself as a guide; a brand ambassador. The person who makes a customer’s journey memorable, exciting and simple.
In this role, you will:
- Be the first face-to-face contact for customers, representing both Donnelly Group and Skoda
- Engage with customers, presenting and demonstrating vehicles
- Become an expert in the full Skoda model range
- Deliver personalised experiences built on understanding customer needs and behaviours
- Work closely with the wider sales and customer service teams to uphold our brand promise
Why join us?
Whether you’re:
- Currently in sales but not feeling inspired
- Working in a people-focused role but lacking career progression
- Looking for structured training and development
- Or simply ready for a more dynamic, fulfilling career
…This could be your opportunity to step into a role with real growth potential, where your energy and motivation matter more than prior sales experience.
What you’ll gain
When you join, you’ll enrol in the Donnelly Group Training Academy, beginning a structured Product Specialist programme designed to set you up for success:
- Learn about the Donnelly Group — our people, culture and processes
- Gain knowledge of the Volkswagen Group brands and vehicles
- Develop selling, communication and emotional intelligence skills
- Understand customer behaviour to create memorable experiences
After completing the 4-week training programme, you’ll be ready to welcome customers into our new showroom — with continuous development and support as you progress in your career.
