Ford Sales Manager

Farris Ford is searching for an experienced Automotive Sales Manager to help lead one of the fastest-growing Ford dealerships in East Tennessee.

This is more than a desk manager position.

We're looking for someone who enjoys coaching people, building a winning culture, developing future leaders, and helping customers have an outstanding buying experience.

If you're tired of corporate dealer groups, constant management turnover, and being treated like another number, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.

For nearly 100 years, the Farris family has served East Tennessee by doing business the right way.

Unlike large corporate dealer groups, our leadership team is involved every day.

That means:

• Decisions happen quickly
• Ownership is accessible
• Your ideas matter
• Great leadership is recognized
• Your success is our success

We're building careers—not filling positions.

Ford continues to be one of America's most recognized and trusted automotive brands.

Combined with the reputation and marketing power of Farris, you'll have the opportunity to lead a team with:

• High-quality customer traffic
• Strong digital lead volume
• Established community trust
• Growing market share
• Long-term growth opportunities

We're investing heavily in the future of our Ford dealership, and we're looking for a leader who wants to grow with us.

As Sales Manager, you'll help lead every aspect of the sales operation by:

• Coaching and developing the sales team
• Driving appointment conversion and showroom performance
• Desking and structuring deals
• Managing daily sales activities
• Helping recruit and develop future leaders
• Creating accountability and process consistency
• Partnering with Finance and Executive Leadership
• Delivering an exceptional customer experience

Our goal isn't simply to sell more vehicles.

Our goal is to become the dealership customers recommend to their friends and family.

The ideal candidate has:

• Automotive sales management experience
• Strong leadership skills
• Ford dealership experience preferred (but not required)
• Excellent desking and closing abilities
• Experience coaching high-performing sales teams
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• High integrity and accountability

If you've built successful teams and enjoy helping others reach their potential, we'd like to meet you.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation plan
• Performance bonuses
• High-volume opportunity
• Strong support staff
• Career advancement
• Long-term stability

Your success grows as your team succeeds.

• No Sundays
• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
• Company-matched 401(k)
• Paid vacation
• Paid professional training
• Employee discounts
• Family-owned leadership

At Farris Ford, our mission is simple:

Provide the common man safe and reliable transportation.

Every customer, every employee, and every leader contributes to that mission.

If you're ready to lead a team, build a culture of excellence, and help shape the future of one of East Tennessee's fastest-growing Ford dealerships, we'd like to talk.
