Dealer Manager / Partner — Commission + Revenue Share Per Car Sold
Puget Sound, WA · Full-time, performance-based pay
About us
We are a Washington-licensed independent dealerwith an active retail lot, a floor plan line, and buyer accounts at Manheim, ADESA, and DAA Seattle. The owner is building a second company full-time and needs a hands-on partner to run the dealership day to day and grow a wholesale buy-and-flip operation.
The role
You will own the dealership's daily operations and the wholesale pipeline. This is not a salaried desk job. You earn when cars sell. The right person treats this as their own business with our license, lot, bond, floor plan, and auction accounts behind them.
What you will do
Run the lot day to day: inventory, titles and paperwork, DOL compliance, customer walk-ins, test drives, retail closes
Source vehicles from private sellers (Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, referrals), inspect, negotiate, and buy at a price that leaves margin
Wholesale: run bought units through Manheim, ADESA, or DAA Seattle, or retail the ones that make more sense on the lot
Handle photos, listings, pricing, and ad responses for retail inventory
Keep deal jackets, title work, and books clean and ready for the owner's review
Report weekly: units bought, units sold, gross per unit, aging inventory
Pay
Revenue share on every wholesale flip: negotiated % of net profit per unit after fees and floor plan interest
No base salary during the first [90] days.
What you need
2+ years in used car sales, buying, or dealership operations. Auction buying experience is a strong plus
You can look at a car and know roughly what it is worth, what it needs, and where it sells best
Comfortable negotiating with private sellers in person and by text
Valid WA driver's license and a clean driving record
Self-directed. The owner will not be on the lot most days
Any experience with Westlake or similar floor plans, title work, or DOL dealer paperwork is a plus
What we offer
A licensed, bonded dealership with an existing lot, floor plan, and auction accounts, so you can start buying and selling in week one
Direct access to the owner for decisions, pricing, and capital
Path to a formal partnership stake for the right person after a proven run
Your last 12 months of units sold or bought, in rough numbers
One car you bought or sold recently and what you made on it
