Job description

At Wessex Garages, we’ve been putting customers first and delivering excellence in automotive retail for over 35 years. With dealerships across South Wales and the South West of England, we proudly represent leading manufacturers including Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, GWM and Mitsubishi. For these leading brands we supply new and used cars and vans, deliver after sales support and champion the Motability Scheme.

We’re proud to offer our customers and colleagues an experience built on Knowledge, Value, Transparency, and Trust — values that are at the heart of everything we do.

We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and experienced automotive professional to step into the role of Kia Brand Manager at our dealership in Gloucester.

In this key leadership role, you’ll be at the forefront of a dynamic, high-performing sales department. Your focus will be on driving sales performance, fostering a positive team environment, and ensuring every customer enjoys an exceptional experience.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading, coaching, and supporting the sales team to consistently meet and exceed performance targets.
  • Championing outstanding customer satisfaction by ensuring best practices are followed and customer feedback is valued.
  • Creating and delivering engaging sales events and campaigns that generate strong commercial results.
  • Staying in tune with customer needs and market trends to develop targeted sales strategies.
  • Collaborating with other departments to maintain accurate and up-to-date customer data.

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone who brings energy and a passion for the automotive industry. You’ll need:

  • Proven experience in a similar management role within a branded car dealership.
  • A strong track record of getting the best out of a team through coaching and clear communication.
  • An understanding of local market influences and how they impact consumer behaviour.
  • A customer-first mindset with a real appreciation for how service quality shapes brand reputation and business success.
  • A data-driven approach, with the ability to scrutinize commercial information and act strategically.
  • The foresight to anticipate challenges and the agility to respond effectively.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your automotive career and want to be part of a respected brand and a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Holiday Allowance – Enjoy 22 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with extra days added the longer you stay with us.
  • Pension Scheme – We contribute to your future with company-backed pension support.
  • Exclusive Employee Schemes – Take advantage of our discounted car purchase programme and Cycle to Work scheme after completing your probation.
