• A strong work ethic, self‑motivation, and willingness to travel.
• Full, clean UK driving licence.

• Direct experience with Pinewood DMS or another automotive management platform.
• Experience in system optimisation, process improvement, or change management projects.
• Understanding of how aftersales performance impacts overall dealership operations.

• Competitive salary based on experience (£28,000 to £32,000 per annum)
• Company car
• Commission scheme (£10,500. £42,500 OTE)
• Share scheme
