St Jamesamps, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

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
