Used Vehicle Presentation Controller

Location: Guildford, Surrey
Salary: £30,300 basic + bonus (OTE £35,000)
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 6:00pm
Permanent, Full-Time

Ready for a new challenge in the motor trade?

Are you an experienced Service Advisor, Aftersales Advisor, Site Coordinator or Showroom Host looking for something a little different?

Do you enjoy working in a busy dealership environment, keeping things organised, coordinating different priorities and making sure everything runs smoothly?

We're looking for a proactive and highly organised Used Vehicle Presentation Controller to join an established automotive business in Guildford.

This is a varied and important role, taking responsibility for coordinating the preparation and presentation of used vehicles, ensuring every car is looking its best and ready to go on sale.

It's a fantastic opportunity for someone who understands dealership operations, enjoys working with people and has a real eye for detail.

What will you be doing?

You'll play a key role in ensuring the used vehicle stock is managed, prepared and presented to the highest possible standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating the preparation of used vehicles, ensuring they progress through the various stages efficiently.
• Liaising with the Workshop and Aftersales teams to obtain updates on vehicle preparation, progress and costs.
• Monitoring vehicle stock and ensuring vehicles are ready for sale within agreed timescales.
• Taking high-quality vehicle photographs and creating engaging online adverts.
• Managing vehicle listings across online platforms, including Auto Trader.
• Ensuring vehicles are displayed to their best advantage across the forecourt.
• Coordinating incoming vehicle deliveries and ensuring the relevant checks and processes are completed.
• Maintaining excellent standards of vehicle presentation and general site appearance.
• Working closely with the Sales and Aftersales teams to ensure a smooth and efficient operation.

What are we looking for?

We're particularly interested in hearing from people currently working as:

• Service Advisors
• Aftersales Advisors
• Site Coordinators
• Showroom Hosts

You'll ideally have some previous experience within a dealership or automotive environment, although we're happy to consider candidates with transferable skills from other customer-focused or coordination roles.

More importantly, you'll be:

• Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail.
• A confident communicator who enjoys working with different departments.
• Proactive and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
• Professional, approachable and customer-focused.
• IT literate and confident using computer systems.
• Someone who takes pride in presentation and maintaining high standards.
• A positive team player who enjoys getting things done.

You don't need to have worked in used car sales. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, organisational ability and understanding of how a busy dealership operates.

What's in it for you?

Alongside a basic salary of £30,300 and the opportunity to earn £35,000 OTE, you'll also benefit from:

• Monday to Friday working – enjoy your weekends!
• 24 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service.
• Your birthday off.
• Staff vehicle and motorbike purchase discounts.
• Health cash plan.
• Enhanced parental benefits.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
• The opportunity to join an established and supportive automotive business.

Interested?

If you're currently working as a Service Advisor, Aftersales Advisor, Site Coordinator or Showroom Host and fancy a change of direction without leaving the motor trade, this could be just what you're looking for.

It's a great opportunity to use your existing dealership experience in a different way, take ownership of an important area of the business and become part of a supportive team.
