About the Opportunity

We are an established automotive dealership in London, Ontario, with a reputation for delivering great vehicles and an exceptional customer experience. We are currently looking for an experienced and high-energy General Manager to take the reins of our store operations and lead our team into its next chapter of growth.

- You will partner directly with the General Sales Manager to set aggressive and realistic targets for both unit volume and gross profit.
- You will monitor Service and Parts metrics, focusing on repair order counts, effective labor rates, and parts inventory turnover to maintain a healthy absorption rate.
- You will recruit, train, and mentor department managers while setting clear expectations, building accountability, and keeping team morale high.




- You will protect and elevate our Customer Satisfaction Index scores by resolving escalated customer concerns and refining the overall guest journey.

What We Are Looking For

- You must hold an active OMVIC license in good standing and possess a deep understanding of local Ontario automotive laws, F&I; regulations, and OEM compliance standards.
- You must have at least 2+ years of direct experience as a General Manager in an automotive dealership, backed by a proven track record in automotive retail.
- You need a documented history of sales success, improving store profitability, and turning around underperforming departments.
- You should be proficient with major Dealership Management Systems such as CDK Global or Reynolds & Reynolds as well as Microsoft Office.
