Who You Are
A proven operator and strategic leader in the pre-owned space—someone who understands both the front-line realities of retail and the complexity of scaled, centralized operations.
You bring structure where there is ambiguity, and you know how to drive performance across multiple rooftops without losing local accountability.

10+ years of progressive automotive experience, with deep expertise in pre-owned operations
Experience in a high-volume, process-driven environment (e.g., CarMax, AutoNation, Sonic Automotive or similar)
Prior leadership experience as a Store Manager, General Manager, or in a centralized/group-level role
