Automotive Sales Manager

An exciting brand. A growing business. An opportunity to make your mark.

Harmony Automotive is bringing a fresh approach to the UK automotive market. As an established international automotive group with a partnership with BYD, one of the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturers, we're combining the strength and backing of a global business with the energy, ambition and opportunity of a UK start-up.

We're at an exciting stage of our journey in the UK, building our presence, growing our teams and challenging the way things have traditionally been done in automotive retail.

We know we're operating in an established and competitive market, but we don't believe that means we have to do things the way they've always been done. We want to be dynamic, agile and open to new ideas, creating a business that can move quickly, adapt and deliver a great experience for both our customers and our people.

For a Sales Manager, this is an opportunity to do more than simply run a showroom. It's a chance to help shape a growing business, influence how we operate and build a high-performing team from the ground up.

We're looking for people who thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy taking ownership and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. People who bring ideas, energy and commercial focus, but who also know that great results come from developing people, setting clear expectations and delivering the fundamentals brilliantly.

We have the backing of an international business, the momentum of an exciting brand and the freedom to think differently.

If you're looking for an opportunity where you can make a genuine impact, grow with the business and be part of something that's still being built, Harmony Automotive could be the place for you.
