About the Role

We are seeking a high-performing Dealership Manager to lead our Pukekohe Dealership. This is a pivotal leadership role with responsibility for driving performance across sales, service, and parts while ensuring an exceptional customer experience at every touchpoint.

As Dealership Manager, you will lead and develop a team of people leaders, ensuring they have the support, accountability, and direction needed to build engaged, high-performing teams.

- Creating a high-performing and accountable team culture through clear expectations, regular coaching, and ongoing development of frontline leaders and staff.

- Managing the dealership P&L, analysing performance against budget, and taking proactive steps to improve margins, efficiency, and profitability.

What you will bring
You will be a reliable and team-oriented warehouse professional who takes pride in accuracy, efficiency, and delivering excellent service.

- Proven leadership experience in a sales or operational role, preferably in the agricultural machinery, automotive or construction sectors.
