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.

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.

• 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.
