IS THIS YOU?
You have F&I, desk management, or finance experience at a franchised dealership -- you understand deal structure, product penetration, lender relationships, and compliance, and you deliver a finance office experience that leaves guests feeling respected rather than pressured
You're disciplined with the menu, consistent with compliance, and you close the finance office with the same hospitality standard the sales floor opened with
You're ready to bring that standard to a high-volume Gresham Toyota store where the deal flow is real, the earning potential is significant, and the Finance Manager who performs consistently earns accordingly
WHO WE ARE
Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40 rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.
Gresham Toyota serves a working-community buyer base on Portland's east side -- a high-volume, loyalty-driven market where Toyota's reliability and value resonate deeply and guests return for every vehicle in the household. The Finance Manager here sits at the intersection of deal volume and guest experience. High transaction count is the opportunity; a hospitality-first finance office is what turns that volume into a lasting reputation and top-of-range earnings.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Present and sell finance, lease, and protection products to every guest using a consistent, compliant menu process -- every deal, every time
Structure deals accurately and efficiently -- working with lenders to maximize approval rates and present options that genuinely serve the guest's financial situation

Strong lender relationship management -- ability to work multiple lenders effectively and advocate for guest approvals across a range of credit profiles

Clear, composed communicator who presents finance products honestly and without pressure
Prior DMS experience preferred -- familiarity with platforms such as CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, DealerSocket, Tekion, or equivalent
Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
