  • Exceptional Communication : Strong people skills and effective communication in both Spanish and English.
  • Automotive Retail : Previous experience in automotive retail or analyzing company financials (e.g., Profit & Loss statements) is a plus.
  • Leadership Development – Live The Pledge, deliver WOW! Customer Service, and cultivate a high-performing, engaged store team.
  • Communication Excellence – Maintain clear and effective communication with employees and customers to drive store execution and performance.
  • Metrics Mindedness – Learn to manage, analyze, and reconcile monthly Profit & Loss (P&L) statements to optimize store profitability.
  • Structure & Process Orientation – Support store operations, ensure compliance with policies, and uphold structured training processes.
  • Teamwork & Training – Assist with staffing, mentoring, and training employees to develop a strong, successful team.
  • Customer Service Leadership – Take charge of customer service activities, ensuring outstanding experiences and resolving concerns proactively.
  • Inventory & Sales Management – Oversee inventory accuracy, store merchandising, and sales strategies to maximize success.
