Assistant Sales Manager

You know how to build customer relationships, close deals, and help others succeed. At Cambridge Volkswagen, you can put those strengths to work in a leadership role that combines personal sales, team coaching, and responsibility for used vehicle operations.

Working closely with the Sales Manager, you’ll help move deals forward and keep our pre-owned inventory ready to sell. If you’re a proven automotive sales professional ready for greater responsibility, or an experienced leader who enjoys being on the floor, we’d like to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Help drive sales and profitability alongside the Sales Manager, bringing forward ideas to improve results and the customer experience.
• Build your own customer relationships and sell new and pre-owned vehicles, achieving individual sales and customer experience targets.
• Be a go-to resource on the sales floor, coaching consultants, appraising trades, desking deals, and helping turn opportunities into sales.
• Take ownership of used vehicle merchandising, ensuring our inventory stands out online and on the lot through strong photos, listings, and vehicle presentation.
• Keep trade-ins moving from arrival to sale by coordinating documentation, inventory entry, and reconditioning approvals within your authority.
• Help source used vehicles and monitor inventory levels, turnover, and reporting to support a healthy pre-owned business.
• Set the standard for timely lead responses, meaningful follow-up, accurate CRM records, and smooth finance and insurance handovers.
• Help deliver a great experience from the first conversation through vehicle delivery and follow-up, resolving customer concerns when needed.
• Bring ideas to sales meetings, contribute to social media activities, and help the team strengthen its sales practices.
• Step in for the Sales Manager when needed, including supervising the sales floor two to three evenings per week.

What You Bring

• A proven record in automotive sales, with strong closing, negotiation, and deal-structuring skills.
• The ability to lead by example and help others improve. Previous leadership or senior sales experience is preferred.
• Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to balance your own sales pipeline, team support, and inventory priorities.
• Sound judgment, clear communication, and a customer-first approach to building relationships and resolving concerns.
• A valid driver’s license and OMVIC certification.

What’s in It for You

Build your leadership experience and contribute directly to sales and used vehicle performance. We offer competitive compensation aligned with performance, a full benefits package, an employee purchase program, and ongoing training and development.
