About The Position

Numa is building the platform to power AI-native dealerships, rearchitecting automotive service and sales with advanced AI agents that automate customer interactions, streamline operations, and reimagine how dealerships work. Numa integrates AI into every aspect of dealership functions—from rescuing customer calls and voicemails that generate more revenue, to reducing customer resolution times that drive overall customer satisfaction (CSI), to improving dealership team productivity and accountability. Numa has raised $50 million from leading investors (Google, Threshold, Costanoa, Mitsui, and Touring Capital). We're looking for a Regional Sales Manager to drive growth and customer success within an assigned territory. In this role, you will be responsible for generating new business, expanding relationships with existing customers, and serving as a trusted advisor to dealership leaders looking to modernize their operations through AI-powered solutions. This role sits at the intersection of sales, relationship management, and strategic account growth. Success requires someone who can build strong relationships with dealership decision-makers, uncover opportunities, navigate complex sales cycles, and create long-term value for customers. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a strong hunter mentality who thrives in a highly autonomous environment and takes ownership of territory performance. You enjoy opening doors, creating opportunities where none previously existed, and building relationships that translate into long-term revenue growth. While success requires strong account management skills, this role is best suited for someone energized by prospecting, winning new business, and consistently expanding their territory.

Hunter mentality with a track record of proactively creating opportunities, opening new accounts, and exceeding growth targets.
5+ years of experience in automotive software sales, automotive technology, or a related customer-facing role within the automotive industry.

Experience using CRM platforms such as HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar sales technologies.
Ability to work independently, take ownership of results, and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
