The Role
We’re looking for a highly motivated Used Car Stock Manager to take ownership of buying, merchandising, and hygiene management across multiple vehicle sources.

You’ll be joining at an exciting time of growth, with the opportunity to make a real impact on the speed, quality, and efficiency of our used car operations.
In this role:
- Buy and manage stock from all available sources – including OEMs, manufacturers, BCA, and rental partners.
- Build and maintain supplier relationships, sourcing vehicles that meet business objectives.
- Set retail prices and manage the complete purchase lifecycle, ensuring vehicles arrive on time and all paperwork is accurate.
- Monitor performance, analysing purchase and sales data to report on results and opportunities.
- Merchandise your stock, conducting regular pricing reviews, quality checks, and ensuring every vehicle is presented to the highest standard.
- Coach and support sales teams, providing onsite training, feedback, and performance oversight through the Marshall Academy programme.
- Oversee trade disposals, ensuring timelines are met, anomalies are flagged, and collaboration with the trade disposal team drives continuous improvement.
- Represent your area in monthly pricing meetings and cross-functional sessions, bringing insight, ideas, and accountability.
Proven experience in the automotive industry (3+ years) at a senior or stock management level. A strong background in pricing, purchasing, or stock management, ideally within a retail or dealership environment. Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge, influence, and engage stakeholders at all levels. A proactive mindset — someone who spots opportunities, acts fast, and drives performance. Strong IT proficiency, including advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills for data reporting and presentation.
If you’re driven by data, passionate about used cars, and ready to play a key role in shaping our used vehicle strategy, we’d love to hear from you.
