Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences.

• High-line or luxury brand experience strongly preferred -- BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Lexus, or similar

• Demonstrated history of strong CSI and NPS performance and a loyal repeat guest base

• Reynolds & Reynolds or CDK experience preferred

• Polished, composed communicator -- able to hold a professional conversation with a demanding, knowledgeable clientele under pressure

• Able to manage high volume accurately without losing attention to detail or the guest experience

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
