Specialist Dealership Head of Business

A rare and exceptional opportunity has arisen within our Scottish Market Area for a Specialist Dealership Head of Business, leading one of the most prestigious multi-brand luxury automotive operations in Scotland, based in Edinburgh.

Representing Lamborghini, Bentley, and Ferrari, alongside a high-performing specialist used car operation including a muti-branded aftersales operation, this role carries full accountability for the overall performance, strategic direction and financial success of the business.

As a position of significant seniority and influence, we are seeking an outstanding leader with the presence, credibility and ambition to inspire teams, engage stakeholders, and deliver excellence at every level of customer, colleague, and manufacturer interaction.
