IS THIS YOU?

• You're a driven, relationship-first salesperson who leads with honesty, earns trust through follow-through, and takes genuine pride in the experience you create for every guest
• 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 YOU'LL DO

• Welcome guests with genuine warmth and curiosity -- understanding what they need before presenting what we have
• Guide guests through the Mercedes-Benz lineup with growing confidence and product knowledge -- connecting the brand's engineering, design, and technology to what matters most to each buyer
• Present vehicles and conduct test drives that create a real experience -- not a scripted performance
• 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
• Meet monthly targets while maintaining strong guest satisfaction scores
• Stay current on Mercedes‑Benz product updates, technology features, and the EV and hybrid lineup
• Represent Mercedes‑Benz of Thousand Oaks and Swickard's hospitality standard in every guest interaction

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
• Relationship-first approach -- you listen before you present and you earn trust before you ask for the sale
• Self‑motivated with a genuine drive to grow your earnings and your career over time
• 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
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Clear career path -- strong Sales Consultants grow into finance, management, and leadership roles at Swickard
• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
• A team culture built on hospitality, accountability, and genuine care for the guest
