Business Development Manager

Why Car Finance Genie?

Car Finance Genie is a rapidly growing motor finance broker working with independent dealers and large national groups across the UK. We place finance through a panel of 19 lenders covering prime, non-prime and sub-prime, including lenders most brokers don’t have, and every proposal is manually underwritten.

That gives you a strong proposition to take into any dealership. We overturn around half of the declines dealers bring us, and more than 20% of those turn into sales. Add competitive dealer commission, seven-day support, a service tailored to each dealer, and it’s a product that’s easy to sell.

We’re expanding the team and looking for a Business Development Manager to grow our dealer network.

The Role
This is a field-based role with your own territory. You’ll spend most of your week face to face with dealers, from independents to large national groups, winning new partners and growing the ones you already look after. A typical week is four days out with dealers and one day planning, following up and building your pipeline, organised your way.

Win new dealers

• Prospect and secure new dealership partners across your territory through visits, outbound calls, referrals and networking.
• Pitch Car Finance Genie to dealer principals, directors and business managers, showing the extra units and income we can deliver.
• Turn prospects into active, transacting accounts and hit or beat your new-business targets.

Grow your portfolio

• Be the main point of contact for your dealers, with regular visits, performance reviews and account planning.
• Drive up application volumes and conversion, and re-engage dormant or underperforming accounts.
• Work closely with our underwriters and operations team so dealers get a fast, seamless service.

Compliance without the headache

• Sign new dealers up quickly. Our onboarding and due diligence process is simple and painless, so you spend your time selling, not chasing paperwork.
• We do the heavy lifting on compliance, so you don’t have to.
• Keep the CRM up to date, flag any concerns early, and share market and competitor insight with senior management.

What you'll bring

Essential

• At least 2 years in field sales or B2B business development, with a track record of beating targets.
• A genuine hunter mentality: you enjoy prospecting, opening doors and closing new business.
• The confidence to build relationships with dealership owners and decision-makers.
• Self-motivation and organisation to run a territory independently.
• A full UK driving licence.

Nice to have

• Experience in motor finance, or selling into dealerships, for example warranty, paint protection, stock funding, DMS or advertising.
• An existing network of motor dealers in your area.
• An understanding of lender criteria and the dealership finance process. If you don’t have it, we’ll teach you.

What you'll get

• Basic salary of £40,000–£50,000 depending on experience.
• Uncapped commission on new business and account growth, with realistic OTE of £70,000+.
• Private health care.
• Car allowance plus business mileage, laptop and mobile phone.
• 28 days’ holiday and a company pension.
• A strong product to sell: a prime to sub-prime panel, manual underwriting and lenders most brokers don’t have give dealers a real reason to switch.
• Painless onboarding and compliance so more of your time goes on winning business.
• Autonomy and progression in a growing business where your results are seen and rewarded.
