THE ROLE

The Loyalty Manager is the bridge between our service lanes and our sales floor -- and the secret weapon behind our customer retention strategy. You're not waiting for leads to come in. You're building relationships, reading the data, and identifying customers who are ready for their next vehicle before they've even started thinking about it.

This is a role for someone who loves the hunt, thrives on building connections, and gets genuine satisfaction from turning a service guest into a customer for life. You'll have structure and support as you get up to speed, then the autonomy to own your pipeline and drive results across our dealership network.
