H.R. Owen, the UK’s leading luxury automotive dealer group, is seeking a proactive Corporate Sales Manager to join our ambitious leadership team and work with Lotus from our locations across the UK. This is truly unique opportunity for someone willing to work hard to establish a business from its inception. We’re looking for someone that’s used to going above and beyond to deliver the highest levels of customer service, willing to transact with a customer themselves whilst developing the potential to increase the sales team. You will need to control marketing activity, sales targets and budgets with a focus on maximising profit. The role will involve working closely with the site management team to proactively approach local business owners and decision makers through various channels. Understanding local market potential to deliver sales targets and revenue forecasts is a given.
The Lotus Corporate Sales Manager will work with a variety of Lotus vehicles, so will need an encyclopaedic knowledge of the entire range, as well as competitor products. Using H.R. Owen’s CRM system to its full potential is a must, but the right candidate will also be able to self-generate new leads, make appointments and handle referrals through day-to-day new business activity. Ability to successfully develop and negotiate large scale contracts and agreements with corporate clients will be essential. You will need to be a self-starter who can work both independently and as part of a team to develop new business in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.
We’re looking for someone who’s able to think a little outside of the box. We sell only the best cars in the world, and we’re seeking only the best candidates.
The type of person we are looking for:
- will have previous Sales Manager or B2B sales experience with a prestige or premium vehicle brand.

- will be able to adhere to all internal compliance and FCA guidelines.
- will have outstanding interpersonal skills. You will communicate regularly with a wide range of people at all levels across the company.
