General Manager

GENERAL MANAGER / FUTURE PARTNER

Location: Lloydminster, Alberta

We are seeking an accomplished automotive executive to lead an established dealership through its next chapter of growth and success.

For the right individual, this is more than a General Manager position. The opportunity includes highly competitive executive compensation and a genuine, structured pathway toward future dealership partnership and ownership.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF DEALER GROUP

Our organization is a family-owned and operated automotive group with deep roots in Alberta and Saskatchewan spanning more than 75 years.

We believe successful dealerships are led by strong local operators-not by layers of corporate management.

Our General Managers are given meaningful autonomy, supported by the resources they need to succeed, and trusted to make decisions that drive results. With that autonomy comes accountability, ownership, and the opportunity to build something meaningful.

Partnership is an important part of our organization's history. Several of our dealerships are operated by General Managers who are also partners, with some of those relationships spanning decades. We are looking to build another long-term partnership with the right leader.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is an opportunity to lead an established and successful automotive dealership with an experienced team and a loyal customer base serving a substantial regional market across eastern Alberta and western Saskatchewan.

The dealership represents one of the strongest automotive brands in the industry, with a product lineup well suited to the regional economy, including trucks, SUVs, passenger vehicles, and electrified vehicles.

The local economy is driven by energy, agriculture, construction, transportation, and service industries, creating a strong foundation for continued growth.

There is already a successful business in place. We are looking for a leader who can build on that success and take the dealership to the next level.

THE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY

For the right candidate, there is a structured pathway from General Manager to General Manager/Partner.

Candidates with the capital, experience, and desire to invest may also have the opportunity to participate directly in dealership ownership.

The Compensation Package Includes

Highly competitive executive compensation

Performance-based earnings and transition guarantee

Demonstrator and comprehensive benefits

Structured pathway toward dealership partnership and ownership

Meaningful relocation assistance for the right candidate

Full compensation and partnership details will be discussed confidentially with qualified candidates.

OUR PEOPLE ARE EVERYTHING

The dealership has an established and experienced team, and the next General Manager will be entrusted with leading, developing, and supporting those people.

We are looking for a leader who sets high standards, creates accountability, develops talent, and genuinely cares about the success of their team.

This is not an opportunity for someone whose first instinct is to replace an entire team and start over. We want a leader who can recognize the strengths of a good organization and make it even better.

YOU HAVE TO LIVE HERE

The successful candidate must be willing to relocate to and reside in the Lloydminster area.

This is not a remote, fly-in/fly-out, or long-distance commuting position. To successfully lead the dealership-and potentially become a future partner-we believe the General Manager needs to be an active part of the local community.

Lloydminster offers attainable housing, short commute times, strong community connections, recreation, quality schools, and the amenities of a major regional centre. The area's economy is supported by energy, agriculture, and a diverse range of regional businesses.

Meaningful relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.

Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is an experienced automotive leader with a proven record of dealership performance and people development.

Key Qualifications Include

3+ years of relevant senior dealership leadership experience

Demonstrated success in financial and operational performance

Strong knowledge of both variable and fixed operations

A proven track record of developing, motivating, and retaining strong teams

Strong professional references and a demonstrated record of integrity

A willingness to relocate to and make the Lloydminster area home

Previous General Manager experience is strongly preferred. Experience with a major automotive manufacturer, OEM programs, NADA Academy, or Automotive Business School of Canada education would be considered an asset.

This is not intended to be a first General Manager opportunity without substantial prior dealership leadership experience.

Appropriate driving-record, criminal-record, and credit checks will be required as part of the hiring process.
