About The Position

At Edmunds, we are driven to make car buying easier. Since our beginnings in the 60s with printed car guides, we have been in the business of trust, innovating ways to empower and support car shoppers. When Edmunds launched the car industry’s first Internet site in 1994, we established a leadership position online and have never looked back. Now, as one of the most trusted review sites on the Internet, millions of visitors use our research, shopping and buying tools every month to make an easy and informed decision on their next car. For consumers, we bring peace of mind. For dealers, we make tools to help them solve their problems and sell more cars. The key ingredients are our enthusiastic employees, progressive company culture, and cutting-edge technology. We wrote the book on empowered car buying. Today, we're driving innovation to make the process easier for shoppers and dealers alike. We do it with data, but we're powered by people and their passion to evolve the car-shopping experience. We trust our talent to shape our future and inspire them to shape their own. We are looking for someone smart, talented, and unafraid, willing to put their ego in the trunk and let new ideas speed us forward, together. If you have the drive, hop in and hit the gas. We need a B2B sales pro who is focused, dynamic, and self-disciplined. You believe in the Edmunds Program, so you’re always looking for the next dealer to help. You’ve got character. This isn’t about closing the deal and taking off. We’re in it for the long term, building and evolving relationships. Bottom line, you need to be someone dealers want to see, someone who’ll help them serve customers better – and sell more cars. At Edmunds, it's all about trusted relationships. For consumers, we bring peace of mind. For dealers, we make tools to help them solve their problems and sell more cars. We do this through the Edmunds Program, an innovative, proven system to help dealers close sales – and be a transparent, trusted partner to 20 million car shoppers monthly. Your mission, should you be chosen, is to help dealers maximize our program and keep them up to speed as it evolves. Join our committed and savvy team as we grow into new regions. It’s a great time to be at Edmunds.
