This role focuses on influencing vehicle acquisition decisions within FMC-managed client portfolios, developing new business opportunities, and maximizing volume and revenue growth across assigned FMC accounts.

The CAM must bring a “sales-first” mindset to every interaction while operating in a highly collaborative, partner-driven environment. The role requires developing and executing strategies that align Stellantis commercial objectives with FMC business models, enabling growth through indirect channels rather than direct fleet ownership relationships.

• Provide timely and accurate updates to FMC partners on Stellantis programs including ProOne, incentives, Service Net, and other commercial offerings
• Partner with dealerships to ensure readiness to support FMC-driven business, including inventory alignment, fulfillment, and customer support
• Serve as a liaison between FMCs, dealers, and Stellantis to streamline order-to-delivery processes and improve customer experience
• Support dealer engagement where necessary to enable FMC success, including training dealer commercial teams on FMC processes and opportunities
• Provide guidance on inventory planning and availability to ensure the right commercial products reach FMC-driven end users
• Develop and support regional and national initiatives that promote product awareness and drive FMC engagement
• Provide accurate forecasts of FMC-driven production requirements and pipeline opportunities
• Ensure accurate reporting of commercial sales, including auditing FMC-related transactions and correcting discrepancies
• Lead regular business reviews with FMC partners, including quarterly meetings to assess performance, identify opportunities, and align future strategies

Additional Responsibilities

• Develop strong working relationships with:
• Fleet Management Company representatives
• Fleet customers
• Second-stage manufacturers and upfitters
• Dealerships supporting FMC business
• Support local and regional commercial events tied to FMC partnerships
• Provide input on future product content, commercial programs, and process improvements to enhance competitiveness within FMC channels
• Manage multiple priorities and aggressive timelines within a complex, multi-stakeholder sales environment

• Drive value creation initiatives across Fleet Sales by identifying process improvements, developing business cases, and executing initiatives that enhance customer satisfaction, operational effectiveness, and financial performance.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across sales, operations, finance, and related functions to implement value creation opportunities, track outcomes, and ensure successful delivery of strategic business objectives.
• Support the execution of Stellantis' Value Creation Program (VCP) initiatives by identifying, validating, and tracking revenue, volume, and profitability opportunities within assigned accounts and territories.
• Partner with leadership to provide timely and accurate shipment actuals, monitor initiative performance, and ensure VCP benefits are reflected in business results.
• Maintain ownership of account forecasts, proactively updating volume projections, opportunity pipelines, and recovery plans as market conditions, customer demand, or shipment performance changes.
• Deliver disciplined reporting and accountability for VCP commitments, ensuring forecast accuracy and alignment to enterprise targets.
