$14–$16/hr + performance-based incentives

About the Role
When a customer wants a car we don’t have on the lot, you’re the one who finds it and gets it here. Long-Lewis Auto Group is looking for a driven, competitive Dealer Trade Specialist who loves working the phones, building relationships with dealers across the country, and getting deals done fast. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t take “it’s not available” for an answer, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Hunt down the right vehicles. Track down units across our group and with dealer partners nationwide so our sales team never loses a customer to “we don’t have it.”


• Work the deal. Reach out to dealerships, build rapport, and lock in hold and sold unit trades quickly.


• Close it out. Arrange transportation, secure trip quotes, handle transfer payments and checks, and make sure every trade crosses the finish line on time.


• Keep vehicles moving. Coordinate delivery drivers and transportation partners to get units where they need to be, when they need to be there.


• Be the go-to connector. Partner with sales, service, accounting, and management to keep trades flowing and solve problems before they slow anyone down.


• Own the pipeline. Manage requests in Zoho, keep transfer records accurate, and help with vehicle photos and inventory presentation so units are ready to sell.

Who You Are

• A self-starter who thrives on hitting goals and closing out tasks.


• Confident on the phone and comfortable building relationships with people you’ve never met.


• Persistent and resourceful: you find a way when others give up.


• Quick on your feet in a fast-paced environment with lots happening at once.


• Organized enough to keep every deal on track without dropping the ball.

What Helps

• Automotive dealership experience, especially with dealer trades, inventory, or sales support


• Experience with Microsoft Office, dealership management systems, or Zoho (or similar)


• 1 year in an administrative, sales support, or customer-facing role

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent


• Valid driver’s license

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay with performance-based incentives


• Health, dental, and vision insurance


• 401(k) with company match


• Paid time off and holidays


• Real room to grow, with advancement opportunities for people who deliver


• A team where your hustle directly drives sales
