About The Position

Beckley Chevrolet is seeking an experienced, high-energy BDC Manager to lead their Business Development Center and drive results. This is not an entry-level management position, and strong automotive dealership BDC experience is required. The ideal candidate will understand dealership operations, be skilled in building and managing a high-performing BDC team, and be comfortable using AI-powered platforms and modern dealership technology to enhance efficiency, customer engagement, follow-up, and appointment performance.

A process-driven mindset with close attention to follow-up

High energy, competitive attitude, and a strong desire to win
