9. Utilize proprietary tools to log daily activity and contacts, and track overall performance for transparency and accountability.
10. Conduct program audits and compliance checks to ensure consistent dealer engagement and proper execution of SiriusXM initiatives.
11. Lead and coordinate territory-based special projects and promotional campaigns to drive brand and trial awareness.
12. Stay current on industry trends, dealership dynamics, and competitive offerings to inform training and strategy.

7. Preferred: Familiarity with automotive dealership operations and DMS platforms.
8. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, independently managed environment.
9. Interpersonal skills and ability to interact and work with dealership staff at all levels.
