IS THIS YOU?
• You have sales management or senior desk experience and a track record of driving volume, gross, and team performance with clarity and consistency
• You lead by developing people - your Brand Specialists produce more and perform better because of how you coach them
• You're ready to run the floor at a high-volume Chevy store in a strong Southern California community where your leadership directly drives results
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Lead and develop the sales team daily - coaching Brand Specialists, running structured desking sessions, and driving consistent floor production
• Desk deals with speed, precision, and integrity - structuring transactions that work for the guest and the business
• Manage floor coverage and the guest experience from first contact through delivery
• Monitor individual and team performance against key metrics - units, gross per vehicle, closing ratio, lead response time, and CRM compliance
• Partner with finance to ensure clean deal handoffs and a seamless guest experience through the finance office
• Support inventory management in coordination with leadership - monitoring turn, aging, and lot activity
• Assist in recruiting and onboarding new Brand Specialists
• Resolve escalated guest concerns with composure and a hospitality-first approach
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Sales management or senior desk manager experience in a franchised dealership preferred - strong performers ready to step into management will also be considered
• Chevrolet, GM, or domestic brand experience a plus - import and luxury brand backgrounds are welcome
• Comfortable at the desk - able to structure deals quickly, accurately, and with the guest relationship intact
• Process-oriented with strong CRM discipline - you build a culture of follow-up and accountability on the floor
• Clear, direct communicator who earns the trust of the team and the respect of the guest
• Reynolds & Reynolds or CDK experience preferred
• A hospitality mindset - you lead the floor the way Swickard leads its stores: guest-first, every time
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
WHAT WE OFFER
• OTE of $72,000 - $150,000+/yr
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Clear career path - strong Sales Managers at Swickard grow into GSM and GM roles across a 40+ rooftop organization
• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
• A high-volume store with consistent traffic and a loyal community buyer base
Chevrolet of Thousand Oaks has the volume, the community, and the team for a motivated Sales Manager to build something real. Chevy's broad buyer base keeps the floor active and the deal mix diverse - and the manager who leads with clarity, coaches with intention, and holds a hospitality-first standard will find this a genuinely rewarding place to grow.
If you have the sales management experience - or the floor performance and the readiness to step up - we'd like to meet you.
