Group Business Manager (AC8255)

An established automotive group is seeking an experienced Group Business Manager to lead Finance & Insurance performance across multiple Brisbane locations.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for an experienced automotive finance professional who knows how to lift performance through strong people leadership, disciplined processes and consistent compliance.

You will take ownership of the broader F&I function, working closely with leadership, Business Managers and external finance and insurance partners to achieve penetration, profitability and customer service objectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Finance & Insurance operations across multiple dealership locations
• Manage, coach and develop a team of Business Managers
• Drive finance penetration, product sales and profitability outcomes

• Improve customer experience and sales processes across the finance function
• Oversee finance and insurance product programs
• Maintain productive relationships with financiers and insurance providers
• Partner with sales and marketing teams on relevant sales initiatives
• Ensure strong compliance with internal policies, financier requirements, insurer requirements and industry regulations

What You’ll Need

You will bring at least two years of proven experience in a Group Business Manager position or a closely comparable automotive finance leadership role.

Automotive retail experience is strongly preferred, although candidates from a closely aligned industry may be considered where their background includes comparable F&I, sales leadership, people management and regulatory compliance responsibilities.

You will also need to demonstrate:

• Strong understanding of dealership F&I performance and penetration
• Experience leading and developing Business Managers
• Commercial awareness and confidence working with budgets and KPIs
• Strong coaching, recruitment and performance management capability
• A disciplined approach to compliance and process
• Ability to analyse results and translate them into practical actions
