We're looking for a bright, energetic, and personable Vehicle Acquisition Manager to join our team and lead our vehicle acquisition efforts — connecting with service customers who are strong candidates to upgrade their vehicle, working purchase-offer opportunities to acquire vehicles for the dealership, and staying savvy on social media, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and other acquisition channels to source additional opportunities.
This is a great fit for someone who genuinely enjoys making connections with people, has an interest in the automotive space, and wants a role built around real growth — professionally and personally.
