From day one, you will work close to the customer and dealer network, take ownership of meaningful business priorities, and contribute to decisions that influence retail sales, inventory, and market performance.

WHY RETAIL SALES AT STELLANTIS:

Be on the front line of the business.

The Area Sales Manager supports a group of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and/or FIAT dealerships and serves as a key liaison between dealership leadership and Stellantis. This role combines relationship management, sales analysis, market planning, vehicle ordering, and retail execution.

• Build productive relationships with dealership owners, general managers, and sales leaders.

• Support dealer business planning and retail execution within an assigned market.
• Connect dealer needs with Stellantis resources, programs, and cross-functional partners.
• Develop the influence, judgment, and accountability required for future commercial leadership roles.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Manage business relationships with assigned dealerships and maintain a consistent presence in the market.
• Forecast retail sales objectives by vehicle line and assess progress against business goals.
• Support vehicle ordering, allocation, and monthly scheduling decisions based on market demand and inventory needs.
• Review dealer and market performance, identify gaps, and recommend actions to improve sales effectiveness.
• Partner with dealership leadership on sales opportunities, customer experience, and business priorities.
• Collaborate with internal Sales, Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, Product, and Field Operations teams.
• Prepare and present performance updates, business recommendations, and market insights.
• Travel frequently, including overnight travel, to support assigned dealerships and market activities.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE:

• Direct dealer-facing responsibility and territory management experience.
• Hands-on ownership of sales, inventory, and market performance priorities.
• Development in consultative selling, negotiation, influence, and relationship management.
• Cross-functional exposure across the commercial organization.
• Access to experienced sales leaders, mentorship, and leadership development.
• Opportunities to make measurable contributions to dealer success and retail performance.

• Bachelor's degree
• Two or more years of sales and/or marketing experience, or an equivalent combination of sales, marketing, and Stellantis internship experience.

• Experience using performance data to identify trends and recommend action.
• Demonstrated ability to build productive relationships and influence outcomes.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a history of leadership, initiative, and achievement.
• Strong presentation, organization, and time-management skills.

Who Thrives Here:

• You may be a strong fit if you are competitive, resilient, relationship-oriented, and motivated by measurable results. You are comfortable working independently in the field, using data to guide decisions, and influencing business partners without direct authority.

Program Details:

• This is not a rotational program. It is an accelerated leadership journey centered on retail sales and dealer-facing experience. The exact U.S. location will be determined prior to hire, and candidates must be willing to relocate based on business needs.
