  • Monitor competitive activity, dealer feedback and market trends and share relevant insights with leadership and internal partners.

Customer & Internal Collaboration

  • Build credible relationships with dealer principals, general managers, used vehicle managers and other key decision-makers.
  • Partner with internal teams to support contracting, implementation and a smooth transition from sale to onboarding.
  • Provide clear product education and set appropriate expectations during the sales process.
  • Represent Trader and vAuto professionally in all customer interactions, industry events and market activities.

Administration & Reporting

  • Prepare regular sales forecasts, activity updates, pipeline reviews and performance reporting.
