Specialising in New Car sales, you will work alongside our passionate sales team to provide Lookers first class customer service at our state of the art dealership in Middlesbrough! You'll be a team player with exceptional communication skill to build rapport with colleagues and customers. With the Ford site having just been upgraded, and with the inclusion of some notable new brands, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Not only will you be joining one of the top automotive retailers in the UK, but you will also be reporting to Joe McMurdo (New Car Sales Manager) who will help impact your knowledge and experience, allowing you to develop your skills and establish a strong career within the industry.

Our Sales Executives are the key points of contact and pay close attention to detail to understand customers wants and needs.

• Communicating with customers via email, telephone and in person
• Suggesting suitable vehicles based on customer needs
• Arranging and accompanying customers on test drives
• Negotiating the final price for the sale
• Completing the relevant paperwork for each sale

The ideal candidate will have strong communication skills, self-motivated to crack on with the job and passionate about what they do. You will be expected to hit targets so being ambitious and hard-working is essential.

Previous experience in a similar position and within the motor trade would be preferred but not essential as we are always on the look out for new/fresh talent to join our team. You will hold a full UK driving license as you may be expected to drive some of the most prestigious cars on the market!

If your skills and experience match what we are looking for, please apply today and a member of the Talent Acquisition Team will be in touch.  Or, if you require further information about this vacancy, please email
