Job Descrption

Due to a period of growth, Porsche Retail Group (PRG) have a rare opportunity to join one of the world’s most iconic brands as a Used Car Buyer. In this key role, reporting to the Used Car Manager, you will work within the Group Sales Operations Department, to ensure PRG achieves its pre-owned targets. You will be based predominately at one of PRG’s Porsche Centres in the Southeast.

What the role involves
As a Used Car Buyer you will:
• Optimise PRGs pre-owned stock holding by making considered purchases, to maximise the stock levels, stock turn, model mix and price profile, while guarding against ageing units
• Have access to data on market trends and customer demands to target your stock purchases from your current developed network of motor trade relationships
• Develop strong relationships with PRG’s Sales Teams to create and maximise purchase opportunities from PRG’s customer base
• Use your technical industry knowledge to appraise each Porsche vehicle accurately and use your... skillset to negotiate a purchase price aligned to PRG’s strategy, objectives and required return on investment.

Whilst this role is part of a Used Car Team, you will be comfortable working alone and be able to manage your time effectively to achieve the objectives set.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:
• Experience of a similar role for another franchised automotive retailer or group
• A history of building a network of relationships to purchase used cars stock for a Dealer Group
• Based in the South East/London area, but comfortable to travelling to ‘conclude business’
• A passion for the motor retail industry and a sound understanding of the Porsche brand and product
• Knowledge of industry wide processes and regulations.

So, what makes life at PRG unique?
• An induction like no other. As part of your welcome, you will enjoy a day at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone, where you drive a selection of Porsches on the track.
• Porsche for a weekend. Once a year, for a special occasion (subject to approval), you will get a choice of a Porsche, at no additional cost to you.
• Every staff member is treated as a brand advocate. You will be able to support events, such as the Porsche GB Carrera Cup.

That sounds exciting, but what else?
• This role is a full-time opportunity based across 2 of our Porsche Centres in the Southeast, working in ‘the field’ and at Porsche Headquarters in Reading as required
• A basic salary of up to £40,000 dependant on experience
• Quarterly Bonus Scheme - OTE of £80,000 per annum
• Ability to participate in the VW Group Employee Car Ownership Scheme
• Option of a further VW Group Vehicle at preferential leasing rates
• 35 days holiday per year, with extra days for long service
• Private Medical Insurance, with the option to add your loved ones
• Preferential rates on several products and services, including high street brands, restaurants, gyms, and Porsche products
• Life Assurance
• Income Protection Insurance
• DC Pension Scheme
• Employee Assistance Program - support and advice on issues impacting your wellbeing

And finally – who are we?
• Headquartered in Reading alongside Porsche Cars GB Ltd, we are owned wholly by Porsche Cars Great Britain Limited. We operate five Retail Porsche Centres, two satellite Service Centres and a Trade Parts Distribution Centre in and around London area
• Our journey embodies the Porsche DNA, a love of sports cars and a passion for excellence and challenging the status quo
• You’ll find our culture of trust, integrity, and empowerment filters through every channel of our business
• Our people have passion, thrive on a friendly rivalry that inspires all of us to be better and a genuine desire to go further for our customers and each other
