The role works with dealer parts teams, trade teams, senior dealer management and group stakeholders to identify sales opportunity, improve Independent Motor Trader penetration, support local trade growth plans and ensure Trade is treated as a meaningful commercial opportunity within the dealer business.
This is not solely a day-to-day sales support role.

1. Strategic Dealer Engagement
Engage with Dealer Principals, Aftersales Managers, Parts Managers, Group Parts Managers and other senior stakeholders to position Trade as a significant commercial opportunity.
2. Dealer Performance Management
Manage and support a defined region of Trade dealers.
3. Trade Sales Development
Work with dealer teams to grow their Trade customer base and increase genuine parts sales to independent repairers, Bodyshop’s and other relevant Trade customers.
4. Campaign Delivery and Opportunity Conversion
Drive dealer participation in Trade campaigns and promotional activity.
5. Data, Reporting and Insight
Use sales data, opportunity reports and programme dashboards to identify trends, risks and growth opportunities.

- Experience within an OEM Trade parts programme.
- Previous role within a franchised dealer parts department, motor factor, parts distributor or dealer group environment.

Role Summary
- The Trade Performance Manager plays a key role in helping Trade dealers grow genuine Trade parts sales. The role combines field-based dealer support, sales performance management, campaign activation and strategic dealer engagement.
- The successful candidate will be comfortable working at both operational and senior management level. They will be able to review dealer performance, identify missed opportunity, challenge current approaches and support dealers in building a more effective Trade strategy.
- This role requires strong automotive parts knowledge, commercial awareness, data discipline and the ability to influence dealer behaviour without direct authority. The ideal candidate will be practical enough to support day-to-day dealer activity, but commercially credible enough to engage senior dealer management teams on the wider Trade opportunity.
- Competitive salary package, aligned to experience and the seniority of the role.
