Sheridan Nissan Mitsubishi is one of Delaware's most trusted automotive dealerships, with a decades-long reputation for exceptional customer service and a team that genuinely loves what they do. We're growing — and we're looking for a high-performing automotive sales professional who's ready to step into a leadership role and build a rewarding management career.

This is your opportunity to transition from top salesperson to New Car Sales Manager on our Nissan team. No desk experience required — we'll train you on every aspect of the role. What we need is your drive, your people skills, and your hunger to win.

What You'll Do

Lead & Develop the Sales Team

  • Manage and mentor a team of Nissan sales consultants, coaching them to hit and exceed their monthly targets
  • Conduct daily sales meetings and one-on-ones to keep the team sharp, motivated, and accountable
  • Assist salespeople on the floor — working deals alongside them and modeling best practices in real time
  • Hire, train, and develop new sales talent as the team grows


Drive New Vehicle Sales

  • Oversee the new Nissan inventory process — monitoring aging stock, setting competitive pricing, and managing turn rates
  • Work with the team to develop and execute strategies that increase unit volume and gross profit
  • Ensure every customer interaction reflects Sheridan's commitment to a world-class buying experience
  • Maintain working knowledge of the full Nissan lineup, incentive programs, and manufacturer promotions


Master Vehicle Appraisals & Deal Structuring

  • Appraise trade-in vehicles accurately using market data and condition assessments
  • Learn to structure and negotiate car deals from the ground up — we provide full training on desking
  • Work alongside experienced managers to understand finance, lender guidelines, and deal profitability
  • Develop your expertise in all facets of the deal process: from first pencil to final delivery


Operational Excellence

  • Maintain accurate daily logs of all sales activity and follow-up pipelines in our CRM
  • Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations governing vehicle sales
  • Collaborate closely with Finance, Service, and other departments to deliver a seamless customer experience
  • Assist in setting and tracking monthly sales forecasts and performance metrics


What We're Looking For

  • Proven track record as a top-performing automotive salesperson — you know how to close
  • A natural leader who earns the respect of peers and brings out the best in others
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills with a customer-first mindset
  • Self-motivated, goal-oriented, and energized by competition and results
  • Comfortable learning new systems
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
  • No previous desk or management experience required — we will train you
