IS THIS YOU?

• You have at least a year of experience in sales, hospitality, or a customer-facing role -- and you know how to build genuine rapport, earn trust, and follow through
• You're enthusiastic, people-first, and ready to grow a high-earning career representing one of America's most iconic and in-demand automotive brands
• You don't need automotive experience -- you need the work ethic, the people skills, and the drive to build something real in Thousand Oaks

WHO WE ARE

Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Welcome guests with genuine warmth and curiosity -- understanding what they need before presenting what we have

Strong candidates have come from retail, restaurants, fitness, hospitality, customer service, and other guest-facing environments. What they share is a track record of making people feel welcome and well-served -- and the ambition to do it at scale.

WHAT WE OFFER

• OTE of $50,000 - $100,000+ annually
• Paid Chevrolet brand and product training -- manufacturer-supported and designed to build real expertise
