Are you ready to drive beyond the possible; to work for an industry game-changer alongside a pioneering, well established electric vehicle brand, new to the UK market in 2023?
Here at Stratstone, powered by Pendragon, we're excited to be embarking on a new and innovative partnership.

We're looking for an inspirational Head of Business to play a key part in shaping our future as we move forwards with one of the most exciting automotive brands to ever hit the UK market.

BYD (Build Your Dreams) is a pioneer in new automotive technology.

Having been first established in China in 1995, the brand has since trailblazed the way forwards for electric vehicle technology.

Their revolutionary innovations include their Blade Battery and exclusive E-Platform 3.0 interface, both of which have helped their vehicles to achieve five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings, thanks to unrivalled intuitive systems.

2023 sees the launch of this incredible brand in the UK, and we're looking for a visionary and innovative individual to drive the new Stratstone and BYD partnership forwards.

As Head of Business, you'll be leading one of the first ever BYD UK stores, standing at the helm to bring this game-changing NEV (New Energy Vehicle) brand to UK customers.

You'll be empowering your team to be the best they can be, whilst being fuelled by the opportunity to thrive in your career along the way.

This is an ideal chance for a passionate and collaborative individual to transform the automotive industry, in an innovative place that recognises drive and commitment.

What you'll be responsible for in your leadership role:

Managing all aspects of your store, including car sales, associated products, parts, labour and aftersales care
Driving the Stratstone and BYD partnership forwards, becoming a trailblazer for the latest in electric automotive technology and taking the brand to the next level
Delivering outstanding levels of customer service, and coaching your team of Associates to do the same
Leading the way with a huge education piece on BYD, empowering your team with the knowledge and training to be able to educate their prospects on the brand and benefits of their vehicles, successfully overcoming any barriers to ultimately achieve and exceed sales expectations
Recruiting, developing and retaining talented Associates, motivating them to exceed expectations and supporting them with regular reviews, training and progression plans
Controlling cash flow, stocks and asset management, whilst monitoring financial performance
Implementing brand strategies, policies and procedures, whilst taking a selfdriven, forwardthinking approach to develop the business further and build manufacturer relationships

Do you have what it takes to be a Pendragon Associate? We're looking for someone who is:

A collaborative team player, who is open to new ideas
Driven by passion for our industry and the people who work in it
Downtoearth, with a peoplefirst mindset
Entrepreneurial and motivated by performance
Experienced in leading a team and achieving targets in a successful business
Able to always implement and follow robust business processes and practices
Focused on a visionary outlook, able to create an environment where Associates feel valued and engaged, with the passion to nurture and develop fresh new talent
Dedicated to delivering outstanding customer service, ensuring their customers have an incredible experience throughout their time with us

Here at Pendragon, together, we're unstoppable.

Collaboration is at the heart of our culture, and it's the power of our group coming together that unlocks our potential to transform automotive retail.

We thrive in a fast-paced environment where the doors are open, if you have the attitude and drive to walk through them.

We'll empower you with the opportunities to bring out the best in yourself, and in return you'll support and bring out the best in others.
