You’ll work closely with the team to shape the future of our wholesale business across Canada.

What you’ll do:

• Price Wholesale Vehicles: Set competitive reserve prices for all wholesale units, using market data, auction trends, and dealer feedback to balance sell-through conversion and profitability.
• Allocate Vehicles Across Auctions: Decide which units go to which auction platforms (i.e. Openlane, EBlock, etc.) based on market strength, regional demand, and sales strategy.
• Represent & Negotiate: Actively represent Clutch inventory in live or timed auctions, negotiating with buyers and ensuring vehicles are presented accurately.
• Drive Conversion: Own the sell-through conversion KPI for your assigned vehicles, working to maximize sales while minimizing reruns and margin leakage.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Provide pricing and reserve guidance as well as feed market insights back to the acquisition team.
• Maintain Data Quality: Ensure accurate disclosures, condition reports, and auction listings so that vehicles are marketed transparently and professionally.
• Improve Processes: Identify and act on opportunities to streamline the appraisal and auction lifecycle, driving efficiencies as volumes scale.

What we’re looking for:

• Analytical Mindset: Strong ability to interpret market data, identify pricing patterns and make decisions quickly.
• Negotiation Skills: Comfortable handling objections and working with other dealers.
• Detail-Oriented: Ensure accuracy in condition reports and listings as well as pricing analysis.
• Results-Driven: Motivated by clear KPIs and delivering on target.
• Team Player: Collaborative mindset, open to feedback, and eager to help Clutch build a best-in-class wholesale function.
• Operational Discipline: Thrive in a high volume, fast paced environment

It’d be great if you have:

• Experience with online or physical auto auctions
• Background in automotive appraisal, junior wholesaler, buyer, auction managers or a related field (1-2 years of experience)

Why you’ll love it at Clutch:

• Autonomy & ownership -- create your own path, and own your work
• Competitive compensation!
• Generous time off program
