Area Sales Manager - Automotive Finance - Stockport & Stoke

• Regional Manager – Automotive Finance
• £55,000 basic + annual bonus + company car or allowance
• Stockport & Stoke territory

This is a commercially focused sales role for someone who knows their way around the dealer network and wants to step into a position with more autonomy, more strategy – and a lot more opportunity. You’ll take full ownership of a defined regional territory, with the backing of a business that’s evolving fast and investing in people who can move the dial.
  
The package includes private healthcare, 25 days’ holiday (plus your birthday off), and a decent flexible benefits scheme. But more than that, this is a role with real visibility and influence – and it comes with a genuine career path.
  
What you’ll be doing

• Managing and growing a portfolio of franchised and independent dealers across passenger cars, LCVs, and motorbikes
• Driving sales growth across your territory – both through retention and new business wins
• Building trusted partnerships with dealers, helping them sell more finance, more profitably
• Acting as a strategic advisor, supporting with queries, deals, and long-term account development

What you’ll need to bring

• A proven sales track record in automotive finance or a related dealer-facing role
• The ability to influence and negotiate with commercial stakeholders
• A self-motivated approach – you’re confident managing your own time and territory
• A solid understanding of the FCA and regulatory landscape (or the appetite to get up to speed quickly)
