Job Description
Our Strongest AGMs:
Consistently deliver strong individual revenue results while contributing to sustained shop-level growth. Create new revenue opportunities instead of relying solely on existing customer traffic. Improve customer retention and expand the long-term value of the shop's customer base. Raise team performance through coaching, clear expectations, and consistent accountability. Understand the shop's key performance metrics and turn those numbers into meaningful action. Identify problems and opportunities early, develop solutions, and follow through on execution. Build credibility with employees and customers through sound judgment, clear communication, and consistent follow-through. Demonstrate increasing ownership of the financial, people, customer, and operational outcomes of the business. What You Bring A demonstrated track record of driving sales, revenue, or business performance through individual contribution, team leadership, or ownership of a sales-driven operation. Experience leading a team in retail, sales, hospitality, automotive service, branch operations, or another fast-paced, customer-facing business. A commercial mindset—you naturally look for opportunities to increase revenue, improve conversion, retain more customers, develop new business, and strengthen the operation. Experience setting performance expectations, coaching against measurable KPIs, providing direct feedback, and holding employees accountable for results. Strong sales instincts, including discovery, value building, objection handling, and closing. The ability to look beyond today's transactions and identify opportunities to grow the customer base, build partnerships, and create sustainable revenue streams. Strong business judgment and the ability to balance sales opportunities, customer needs, team performance, and operational priorities. The initiative to create momentum rather than wait for direction—you identify opportunities, develop solutions, and stay engaged until the outcome is achieved. Comfort using performance data to understand what's working, diagnose gaps, and determine where action is needed. The ability to manage customers, employees, and competing business priorities in a fast-paced environment without sacrificing urgency or follow-through. A high degree of accountability, coachability, and ambition to take on increasingly complex business leadership responsibilities. Automotive experience is valuable, but it isn't what defines our ideal candidate. We're looking for proven operators with strong sales instincts, leadership capability, and a history of producing measurable business results.
