This expertise allows you to communicate how utilizing myKaarma’s solutions drives value effectively, improves efficiency, and enhances overall dealership performance.

The role involves conducting multiple training sessions daily for existing customers. After each session, you’ll manage post-training steps, including scheduling follow-ups, documenting progress, and completing final product activations.

• Proactively communicate insights and feedback through clear, proactive communication channels to continuously refine and enhance the training process.
• Stay informed on product updates and evolving dealership practices to maintain expert-level knowledge.

Skills and Qualifications:

• Preferred : 2 years of automotive dealership fixed operations experience as a Service Advisor, Technician, Parts Counterperson, Service Manager, or equivalent.
• Preferred : 2 years of automotive software consulting, installing/training experience or equivalent.
• Essential: Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Essential: Be well organized and respond with a sense of urgency internally and externally.
• Essential: Be adept at learning/absorbing new technologies and staying abreast of changes to our tool along with evolving dealer practices.
• Essential: This is a hybrid position that operates partially at myKaarma’s Long Beach HQ. As a result, the candidate is expected to maintain a home office with the requisite hardware/software to perform this role effectively.
