Full-time | Permanent
Competitive basic + commission (details on application)

Riverside Recruitment are delighted to be working in partnership with a well-established and reputable automotive dealership in the Bristol area, to recruit a motivated and customer-focused Car Sales Executive.

This is not a high-pressure, highly commission-driven sales role. Instead, our client is looking for someone who takes a collaborative approach and enjoys being part of a close-knit team, as a small, close-knit team, collaboration is key — this isn’t a cut-throat, high-pressure sales environment. Our client is looking for someone who can deliver strong sales results while still working as part of a team, offering a more consultative, customer-first approach rather than aggressive selling.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a thriving, high-volume site with a strong local reputation, specialising in quality used vehicles and operating as a trusted authorised repairer.

The Role

As a Car Sales Executive, you will:

• Welcome customers and guide them through the full vehicle buying journey
• Understand customer needs and recommend suitable vehicles
• Manage enquiries both in person and remotely
• Build rapport and deliver an outstanding customer experience
• Work towards sales targets while maintaining quality and compliance
• Present finance packages and promote additional products such as warranties and paint protection

You’ll be working within a busy, high-performing site retailing 30+ vehicles per month, with a stock profile of approximately 50–60 vehicles, typically aged 1–6 years.

Working Hours

• 8:45am – 5:45pm, 5 days per week
• 1 weekday off
• Every Saturday required (with an earlier finish at 4:30pm)

What’s on Offer

• Competitive basic salary (dependent on experience)
• Strong basic salary with a supportive commission structure
• Team-based commission model (focused on overall department profitability – no cut-throat sales environment)
• Additional earning opportunities through:
• Finance products
• Paint protection
• Warranty sales
• Company pension scheme
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays (or time in lieu, as the business operates on bank holidays)
• Opportunity to join a busy, well-established dealership with consistent stock and footfall
• Supportive and collaborative team culture

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in car sales
• Experience in both buying and selling vehicles
• Confident presenting finance options and add-on products
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Target-driven with a proactive approach
• Ability to build long-term customer relationships
