Acquisitions Specialist

Louisville, KY Full Time
POSTED ON 9/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/8/2026

The automotive industry has evolved drastically over the last few years, and the way dealerships source inventory has transformed with it. We are moving away from traditional, high-priced auto auctions and focusing on what matters most: sourcing quality, local pre-owned vehicles directly from private owners in our community. Every local vehicle comes with a local story, and as a Vehicle Acquisition Specialist, you will be at the forefront of this modern approach.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role within our dealership. It offers an incredible entry point to explore the car business while providing massive potential for income and career growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Direct Private Sourcing: Proactively identify, reach out to, and engage local private-party vehicle sellers through digital channels, service department leads, and community outreach.
  • Negotiation & Purchasing: Evaluate private vehicles, make competitive offers based on market data, and successfully negotiate purchases directly with individual owners.
  • Customer Experience: Build trust with local sellers by guiding them through a seamless, transparent, and hassle-free vehicle selling process.
  • Market Analysis: Monitor local inventory trends, market demand, and vehicle pricing models to make informed acquisition decisions.
  • Pipeline Management: Maintain consistent follow-up with active leads and build a strong network of local vehicle suppliers.

What We Are Looking For

  • Competitive & Results-Driven: You possess an inner drive to meet and exceed targets, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and take pride in winning.
  • High Motivation: Self-starter mindset with strong initiative and a relentless work ethic.
  • Strong Communicator: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport quickly with individuals from all walks of life.
  • Adaptable Learner: Eager to learn the mechanics of the modern automotive industry, market valuation tools, and strategic buying practices.
  • Sales or Negotiation Background: Prior experience in sales, customer service, or outbound outreach is preferred, but a track record of high achievement and grit is what matters most.

What We Offer

  • Uncapped Earning Potential: Highly competitive pay structure (base salary aggressive performance-based incentives) where your income directly reflects your effort.
  • Career Growth: Direct pathway into senior management, sales leadership, or specialized inventory management within the dealership.
  • Hands-On Training: Comprehensive coaching on modern vehicle valuation tools, acquisition strategies, and negotiation techniques.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health, dental, vision coverage, paid time off, and employee vehicle purchase discounts.
