Chef(fe) de District Performance Commerciale Vente (Centre) at Kia France in Rueil-Malmaison

Job Overview

Kia France is recruiting a Chef(fe) de District Performance Commerciale Vente to cover the Centre region, based at the company’s Rueil-Malmaison headquarters. The role is a field-facing management position: the person hired becomes the main point of contact between Kia France’s head office and a portfolio of dealers in their district, responsible for helping those dealers hit commercial and profitability targets while keeping the brand’s standards consistent on the ground.

This is a well-compensated, experience-driven position — the employer has published a salary range and explicitly ties the top of that range to at least ten years of relevant experience, which signals a role aimed at established sales-performance professionals rather than early-career candidates.

About the Role

The job splits fairly evenly between strategy execution and field relationship management. On one side, the role holder rolls out Kia France’s national commercial and marketing policy at district level, negotiates targets with dealer investors, and tracks monthly performance against those targets. On the other, they act as the feedback loop between what’s happening at dealerships and Kia France’s central Commercial Operations department — flagging market trends, competitive activity, and operational issues, and proposing fixes where the district’s network needs support.

Key Responsibilities

• Roll out Kia France’s overall commercial policy at local (district) level and ensure it is properly applied
• Negotiate quantitative and qualitative targets with dealer investors
• Implement district-level commercial activation initiatives
• Track monthly delivery of quantitative and qualitative targets across the district’s dealer portfolio
• Build and monitor action plans, introducing corrective measures where needed
• Advise and guide dealership sales teams on management and motivation
• Act as the interface between the field and Kia France’s internal departments
• Report to the Direction des Opérations Commerciales on both sales results and district-level intelligence
• Conduct market analysis and competitive monitoring within the district
• Propose ideas across network animation topics — commercial planning, supply, dealership activation, network development, and best-practice sharing
