As a Host at Jaguar, you’ll be the welcoming face and confident voice of our dealership - the very first person our customers meet, setting the tone for their entire experience. You’ll create a positive first impression from the moment a visitor walks through the door or picks up the phone, ensuring every interaction feels effortless, friendly, and professional.

You’ll be at the heart of the showroom’s daily operations, supporting the customer journey from start to finish. This includes greeting visitors with confidence, understanding the reason for their visit, and ensuring they’re introduced to the right specialist quickly and smoothly. In this role, every day is different. You’ll manage phone calls, walk-in customers, enquiries, updates, and team coordination, all while maintaining a calm, polished, and welcoming approach. It’s a fast-paced, customer-centric position that gives you real influence over the customer experience and the flow of the dealership.

Your Journey as a Host:

  • Giving every visitor a warm, attentive welcome and supporting them throughout their visit in a friendly, thoughtful, and polished manner.
  • Handling telephone inquiries with professionalism, establishing their needs to ensure they are connected to the correct department/team member first time.
  • Maintaining immaculate customer-facing spaces, ensuring our showroom, waiting areas, and reception always look their best.
  • Managing the dealership diary, updating records, and supporting the team with general administrative duties that help our site run smoothly.

  • A natural ability to build rapport quickly, making people feel comfortable, valued, and understood.
  • A proactive approach, with a willingness to get stuck in, take ownership, and support the wider team where needed.
  • A genuine interest in creating exceptional customer experiences - bringing positivity, professionalism, and authenticity to every moment.
