Good Sam Enterprises is hiring a Director - Marine Dealer Development to build and own the sales pipeline for its new Financial Services division. The role sells the division’s lending, F&I menu, and virtual F&I offerings to independent dealers. It begins in Florida and is expected to expand to other states. The position is remote and requires significant travel as needed for sales, including occasional overnight travel and industry events. This is a new role in a new division, and the Director will help establish how dealers are identified, signed, onboarded, and grown. The Director owns the dealer relationship from first outreach through the life of the account, including prospecting, agreement negotiations within the standard agreement, coordinating onboarding as the dealer’s single point of contact, and ongoing account management. Non-standard contract terms require legal involvement and review by the SVP, Operations, Financial Services; compensation changes outside the standard agreement must be approved before being offered. The role focuses on sales and account management, not operations. The Director partners with the separate operations team, which provides day-to-day dealer support, but does not direct that team or operate the program. The position is not consumer-facing and does not involve selling F&I products to dealers’ customers or owning credit decisioning, licensing, or compliance. The Director works with legal and outside contractors when those matters affect a deal and has no direct reports today. The successful candidate is a self-directed seller who builds a pipeline, develops trust with dealership owners, and remains accountable for dealer relationships after agreements are signed. They are comfortable balancing speed with the limits of the standard agreement, escalating non-standard requests early, communicating risks and deal status proactively, and collaborating with operations, legal, and leadership. They help define processes in a new division while respecting decision ownership across teams. Success in the first year includes establishing sales goals, a territory plan and CRM pipeline process, documented negotiation boundaries and onboarding handoffs, enrolling independent dealers, helping each enrolled dealer reach its first live transaction, developing account and reactivation plans, reporting pipeline and account results to the SVP, and demonstrating repeat dealer activity while sharing dealer feedback with operations and leadership.
