New Vehicle Sales Manager - Chevrolet

Lake Chevrolet is looking for an experienced automotive sales professional to lead our New Chevrolet Sales Department.

We're not looking for someone to simply sit at a desk and work deals.

We're looking for a hands-on sales leader who can drive volume, develop salespeople, manage inventory, protect gross, improve processes, and take ownership of the department's performance.

If you're an experienced automotive Sales Manager, Desk Manager, or New Vehicle Manager who believes you can build a team and compete at a high level in the Milwaukee market, we want to talk to you.

Lake Chevrolet has been serving the Milwaukee area since 1923. We offer a professional dealership environment, a strong inventory position, an established customer base, and the resources necessary for an experienced manager to succeed.
