• Submit credit applications and work with lenders to secure competitive approvals
• Present finance, warranty, insurance and protection products clearly and professionally
• Structure deals to maximize opportunities while keeping the customer's needs at the centre of the transaction
• Ensure all finance documentation is accurate and completed efficiently
• Maintain strong relationships with banks, lenders and financial institutions
• Work closely with the Sales Manager and Sales Consultants to ensure a smooth transition from vehicle selection through delivery
• Ensure deals are funded promptly and documentation is complete
• Maintain accurate records and follow dealership, lender and regulatory requirements
• Monitor F&I performance and identify opportunities for improvement
• Maintain strong product knowledge and stay current on available programs
• Help create a professional, efficient and positive vehicle-delivery experience

• Are comfortable working with lenders, dealership software and digital systems
• Are motivated by performance and earning potential
• Work well with both customers and dealership team members
• Take ownership of your deals from approval through funding
• Want to be part of building a strong dealership rather than simply filling a position
