We are adding a Sales Manager to a high-performing, high-volume store, and we are looking for the right operator, not just the next available one.

This is a builder's seat. Your job is to develop people, structure deals, and win business that other stores walk away from.

What You'll Own

• Sales consultant development (your #1 priority). Coach, train, and hold a team accountable to daily activity, CRM discipline, and closing standards. Your success is measured by their growth.
• Desking and deal structure. You'll stay heavily involved in the desk - less about starting the pencil, more about reworking it. We need a manager who finds the path to the deal regardless of the obstacle in front of it.
• Daily showroom leadership. Lead from the floor in a high-pressure, high-organization environment. Drive urgency without chaos.
• Daily sales meeting. Meetings start at 8:45 AM, every day. You set the tone.
• Tech stack discipline. Own the process across our full tech stack - DriveCentric, CDK, ACV MAX, and vAuto.

What We're Looking For

• Significant, proven sales management experience in retail automotive - this is a hard requirement. We are hiring an experienced operator, not training one.
• A perpetually optimistic operator who genuinely enjoys the deal - the hunt, the structure, and the close.
• Demonstrated discipline and work ethic. This is the non-negotiable. We are not a hangout; we are a results environment.
• A proven track record desking and managing in a high-volume store (luxury/premium a strong plus).
• The ability to develop people, not just close deals yourself.
• Bilingual candidates strongly valued - Russian fluency is a meaningful advantage given our customer base.
• Working command of our tech stack (DriveCentric, CDK, ACV MAX, vAuto) is a strong plus.

Schedule & Expectations (Read This Carefully)

We're transparent about the commitment because it filters for the right people:

• This is not a 40-44 hour role. Our managers average 50+ hours per week.
• Daily start: 8:45 AM sales meeting. Managers are present.
• The last week of every month, we work all six days. That's when business is won.
• You get one scheduled weekday off.
• Closed every Sunday.
• Closed major holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Why Kollective

Nine dealerships across New York and New Jersey means real, vertical career growth - this is a platform where strong managers move up, not out. We hire at the pace of the candidate: we'd bring the right person on tomorrow, and we'll wait for the right fit over the wrong one.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision
• 401K Plan
• Paid time off
• Growth opportunities
• Paid Training
• Employee Vehicle Purchase Options
• Individually owned and operated
• Discounts on Products and Services

Pay: $195,000 - $250,000 annually (base salary + commission/bonus), with upside for top performers.

Our managers earn a base salary plus a percentage of gross profit - including new car gross, used car gross, wholesale gross, and dealership holdback. The right operator who builds a strong team and runs a disciplined desk has a genuine path beyond the top of this range. Specific plan structure and percentages will be provided upon offer.
