Overview

Group 1 Hyundai Southwest Houston is looking for a high-performance sales operator, either an experienced manager or a high-potential leader ready for the next step, who can take control of the floor, create urgency, and drive the new-car team to the number.

 

This is not a maintenance role. This is a performance role. The team knows the target. The team knows the plan. The floor has pace. Problems get addressed early. Misses get corrected fast. Volume comes first. Customer experience matters. Gross matters. We want someone who can create momentum, not wait for it.

 

This role oversees sales operations, inventory management, team development, forecasting, and customer satisfaction, partnering with leadership and finance to drive department success.

Responsibilities

• Driving daily new-car volume and holding the team accountable to the number
• Setting salesperson pace, structure, and daily accountability standards
• Overseeing appointments, confirmations, CRM execution, and closing the gap on missed opportunities
• Leading live deal strategy, including desking, closing, and trade execution
• Owning the customer experience and driving CSI performance
• Building and executing recovery plans the moment the team falls behind pace

Qualifications

• A visible, hands-on leadership presence on the floor every day
• High energy and a competitive, results-driven mindset
• Ability to coach quickly, directly, and in the moment
• Sets clear, specific daily targets for every salesperson
• Inspects execution rather than assuming it's happening
• Makes fast, sound decisions under pressure
• Adapts quickly as conditions and priorities shift
• Takes direction, aligns with leadership, then executes independently
• Refuses to accept repeated underperformance as the norm

What We Offer:

• Health, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability insurance
• 401(k) plan with company match
• Paid Time-Off
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan
• Employee Vehicle Purchase Program
• Professional work environment, with job training and advancement opportunities
