General Sales Manager – McDonald Hyundai
Denver, Colorado
Doing Right Comes Naturally
We’re a 4th-generation, family-owned automotive dealer group based in Denver. We’ve been here a long time for one reason: we run a disciplined business, we treat people right, and we hold ourselves to high standards. That’s not marketing copy—it’s how we operate.
We’re looking for an A-player sales leader who believes great teams are built, not managed—and who is willing to lead from the front, not from an office.
This role is hands-on, visible, and accountable. If you prefer managing through reports, meetings, or layers of insulation, this is not the job for you.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Building, developing, and retaining a high-performance sales team.
- Setting clear expectations, coaching in real time, and holding people accountable—consistently
- Driving operational excellence across new and pre-owned sales.
- Translating strategy into daily execution on the showroom floor and in the service drive.
- Creating a culture where high standards are the norm and high performance is rewarded.
- Protecting and strengthening a long-standing family-owned brand built on trust and integrity.
How You’ll Lead
- You are present. Your team sees you, hears you, and feels your leadership.
- You coach, train, and develop—especially when it’s uncomfortable.
- You don’t pass the buck, blame the market, or hide behind excuses.
- You set the bar high and help your people clear it
- You believe culture is built through actions, not posters on the wall.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven leadership experience in automotive.
- A track record of building teams, not just hitting numbers.
- Strong business acumen paired with emotional intelligence.
- High personal standards, strong work ethic, and zero tolerance for mediocrity.
- Alignment with our belief that doing the right thing is non-negotiable.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation tied directly to performance.
- Significant upside for leaders who deliver results the right way.
- Long-term opportunity with a stable, growing, family-owned organization.
- A leadership team that values accountability, trust, and development.
- The chance to leave a real legacy—not just fill a role.
- Competitive 401k / 401k matching
- Medical / Dental / Vision Insurance
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - free, confidential counseling
- PTO Accrual
- Health Savings Account
- Flexible Spending Account
- Voluntary Life and AD&D
- Employee Discounted Pricing on Parts, Vehicles, and Service
Our Belief System
We believe in:
- High standards and high rewards
- Accountability with respect
- Coaching over criticism
- Long-term thinking over short-term wins
If you’re an A-player who wants to build something meaningful, lead people the right way, and be rewarded for excellence—this is worth a conversation.
If not, that’s okay too. We’re selective by design. At McDonald, we believe that exceptional experiences start with exceptional people. Many of our team members have spent decades with us, growing their careers and eventually retiring as part of the McDonald legacy. We're proud to attract driven, motivated individuals who are passionate about their work and dedicated to building lasting relationships. It’s not just about the work we do—it’s about the family we build along the way.
