• You come from hospitality, luxury retail, sales, or another guest-facing role and you're ready to grow your career and your earnings at one of the world's most recognized luxury brands
• You don't need automotive experience -- you need the work ethic, presence, and commitment. Our best Sales Consultants have come from luxury hospitality, high-end retail, financial services, fitness, restaurants, and beyond.

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.

Mercedes-Benz of Thousand Oaks represents one of the most prestigious luxury brands in the world in a strong, affluent Southern California market. Our Sales Consultants are trusted advisors -- not order-takers -- who guide guests through one of the most significant purchases they'll make. No automotive experience required. We hire for the right mindset and invest in everything else.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• No automotive experience required -- paid Mercedes-Benz brand training is provided from day one
• Previous experience in hospitality, luxury retail, sales, or a guest-facing role strongly preferred

• Clear, honest communicator -- Mercedes-Benz guests are informed and they appreciate a consultant who respects that
• Comfortable with CRM tools and digital communication -- or quick to learn them
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• A genuine hospitality mindset -- every guest interaction reflects the Mercedes-Benz standard and you take that seriously

WHAT WE OFFER

• OTE of $50,000 - $120,000+ annually
• Paid Mercedes-Benz brand and product training -- manufacturer-supported and designed to make you a genuine product expert
