Finance/Business Manager

F&I / Business Manager — Vallely Sport & Marine (Minot, ND location)

Vallely Sport & Marine is a Boating Industry Top 100 Marine Dealer (17 consecutive years) and Powersports Business Power 50 dealer, MRAA Five-Star Certified, family-owned since 1974. We represent marketshare leading brands across boats, off-road and motorcycles from a state-of-the-art facility, and we are hiring one F&I / Business Manager.

If you're in automotive F&I right now

You already have the skill. What you probably don't have: customers who are glad to be in your office. Nobody is forced to buy a boat. They come in to buy something they've wanted for years, and the F&I conversation is about protecting that purchase, not surviving it. Fewer hours than an auto store, a comp plan that doesn't get rewritten every quarter, and a sales team whose process benefits the finance office. If that sounds pleasant, there’s more below.

If you're coming from another industry

We’ve heard a similar story: one company buys another or an industry slows down, management changes strategy, reduces pay plans of the people who helped build the business, tenured staff leaves, more rules and more games. We welcome you to a 52 year, stable local family business with a proven track record – we're on a mission to be the area's best place to work: healthy pay plans, tenured staff, a fun work environment, and straightforward policies.

The role

• Structure and close financing across marine, off-road and motorcycle
• Offer approvals from 10 banks and credit unions plus manufacturer captive programs
• Present protection menu: service contracts, pre-paid maintenance, GAP, tire and wheel, protective wraps and ceramic – important on outdoorsy and adventurous vehicles.
• Hold compliance to standard: Reg Z, TILA, ND disclosure requirements, OFAC and Red Flags
• Own department metrics: PVR, product penetration, reserve, time-to-fund, contracts-in-transit, and experience from customer introduction to signature
• DMS: Lightspeed; various other softwares including DealerTrack

Compensation

Base salary plus commission on F&I product income and reserve.

On-target earnings are $100,000–$120,000 . Top performers exceed that; there is no cap.
