IS THIS YOU?
• You're a warm, genuine communicator who earns trust by listening first and presenting second - guests feel genuinely helped by the conversation, not steered toward a close
• You come from hospitality, retail, financial services, or another guest-facing environment where taking care of people was the standard - automotive experience is not required, but the ability to represent three distinct brands with knowledge and confidence is something we train from day one
• You want to build a sales career at a Conejo Valley multi-brand store where Buick, GMC, and Cadillac give you a lineup that covers everything from everyday family vehicles to premium full-size trucks to luxury sedans - and where a motivated Brand Specialist builds a diverse, loyal client base that earns well above the floor
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Welcome guests with genuine curiosity and warmth - understanding what matters to them before presenting any vehicle
• Develop deep product knowledge across Buick, GMC, and Cadillac through paid GM training - learning each brand's lineup, technology, performance credentials, and towing and capability specs well enough to guide any Conejo Valley buyer confidently
• Present vehicles and conduct test drives that connect each brand's strengths to what the guest actually needs - whether that's a Cadillac Escalade, a GMC Sierra, or a Buick Envision
• Build and maintain a client pipeline through consistent, disciplined follow-up and CRM use - the Brand Specialist who works their pipeline earns repeat and referral business that lifts them above the floor
• Collaborate with finance and management to deliver a transparent, low-pressure purchase experience from first contact through delivery
• Meet monthly targets across volume, gross, and CSI
• Represent Buick GMC Cadillac of Thousand Oaks and Swickard's hospitality standard in every guest interaction
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• No automotive experience required - paid GM brand and product training across Buick, GMC, and Cadillac provided from day one
• Hospitality, retail, financial services, real estate, or comparable guest-facing experience strongly preferred - backgrounds where earning trust and delivering a quality experience are the standard translate directly to this buyer community
• Genuine curiosity across three brand personalities - Buick buyers, GMC truck buyers, and Cadillac buyers are different people with different priorities, and the Brand Specialist who engages each conversation authentically builds a broader and more durable client base
• Relationship-first approach - you listen before you present, you follow through without being reminded, and your guests feel well-served rather than sold to
• Self-motivated with a genuine drive to build a long-term book of returning clients and referrals in a close-knit Conejo Valley community where reputation travels fast
• Comfortable with CRM tools and digital communication, or quick to learn them
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
WHAT WE OFFER
• OTE of $50,000 - $150,000+/yr
• Paid GM brand and product training across Buick, GMC, and Cadillac from day one
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Clear career path - strong Brand Specialists grow into finance, management, and leadership roles at Swickard
• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
WHY BUICK GMC CADILLAC OF THOUSAND OAKS
• Three brands under one roof means a broader buyer audience - GMC's premium truck and SUV buyers, Cadillac's American luxury ownership community, and Buick's comfort-focused family buyers give a motivated Brand Specialist more relationships to build and more referral paths to develop than a single-brand store
• The Conejo Valley is a family-oriented, community-connected market where buyers talk to each other - the Brand Specialist who earns a household's trust earns every vehicle in it and the referrals that follow, and that kind of loyalty compounds over time in a community this size
• GMC's Sierra and Yukon lineup, Cadillac's Escalade, and Buick's growing SUV portfolio give a well-prepared Brand Specialist genuinely compelling product conversations across a wide range of Ventura County buyers and use cases
• Swickard is one of the fastest-growing dealer groups in the country - ranked Top 5 in North America for reputation in the automotive industry
• Our HEART values - Honor, Engage, Anticipate, Respond, Thank - are the foundation of how we sell, serve, and develop our people
If you're a relationship-driven sales professional ready to represent three distinct American brands in a family-oriented Conejo Valley community where guest loyalty is earned through genuine care and honest follow-through - apply.
