IS THIS YOU?

• You're a relationship-first sales professional who leads with honesty, earns trust through preparation and follow-through, and takes genuine pride in every guest experience you create

• You want to represent a brand people are passionate about, in a city that rewards authenticity and genuine connection

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.

BMW of Portland serves a loyal, enthusiastic guest base in one of the Pacific Northwest's most distinctive cities. Portland BMW drivers choose the brand deliberately -- for the performance, the engineering, and what it stands for -- and they stay loyal to the consultants who meet that enthusiasm with genuine knowledge, honest guidance, and a hospitality-first approach.

What You'll Do

• Welcome guests with genuine curiosity and warmth -- understanding what they want before presenting what we have
• Guide guests through the BMW lineup with growing confidence and product knowledge -- connecting performance, technology, and design to what matters most to each buyer
• Present vehicles and conduct test drives that bring the BMW driving experience to life
• Build and maintain a guest pipeline through consistent, disciplined follow-up and CRM use
• Collaborate with finance and management to deliver a transparent, pressure-free purchase experience

What We're Looking For

• Automotive sales experience preferred -- candidates from luxury hospitality, high-end retail, outdoor and lifestyle industries, and other consultative backgrounds are encouraged to apply
• Genuine enthusiasm for the BMW brand -- performance, technology, and design are real talking points in Portland and the best consultants believe in them
• Relationship-first approach -- you listen before you present and earn trust before you ask for the sale
• Self-motivated with a consistent track record of follow-through and results
• Clear, honest communicator -- BMW buyers are informed and appreciate a consultant who respects that
• Comfortable with CRM tools and digital communication
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

What We Offer

• OTE of $50,000 - $120,000+ annually
• Paid BMW brand and product training
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
