Job description

At Edmunds, we make the car buying experience easier. By combining expert vehicle reviews and real-time consumer and automotive market insights with a suite of intuitive shopping tools, we empower millions of people to buy, sell, and price cars with total confidence. While we are an established leader in automotive tech, our company thrives on innovation and agility, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a competitive industry to keep our customers and our culture at the forefront.

Why Edmunds

We wrote the book on empowered car buying. Today, we're driving innovation to make the process easier for shoppers and dealers alike. We do it with data, but we're powered by people and their passion to evolve the car-shopping experience. We trust our talent to shape our future and inspire them to shape their own.

This is where you come in. Smart, talented, unafraid. Willing to put your ego in the trunk and let new ideas speed us forward, together. If you have the drive, hop in and hit the gas.

Who We Need

You're a B2B sales pro. You're focused, dynamic, self-disciplined. You believe in the Edmunds Program, so you're always looking for the next dealer to help. You've got character. This isn't about closing the deal and taking off. We're in it for the long term. Building and evolving relationships. Bottom line, you need to be someone dealers want to see. Someone that'll help them serve customers better - and sell more cars.

At Edmunds, it's all about trusted relationships. For consumers, we bring peace of mind. For dealers, we make tools to help them solve their problems and sell more cars. We do this through the Edmunds Program, an innovative, proven system to help dealers close sales - and be a transparent, trusted partner to 20 million car shoppers monthly. Your mission, should you be chosen, is to help dealers maximize our program. And keep them up to speed as it evolves. Join our committed and savvy team, as we grow into new regions. It's a great time to be at Edmunds.
