As a Black, female-owned dealership, we are committed to creating a workplace where people from all backgrounds feel respected, supported, and empowered to grow.

This is a full-time, on-site role for an Assistant Office Manager supporting the business office within a major OEM franchise dealership environment. In this role, you will partner closely with the Office Manager to oversee the dealership's administrative, financial, and accounting operations.

You will help ensure compliance, accuracy in financial reporting, and seamless communication across all departments, all while contributing to a transparent and welcoming workplace.

You will work alongside a collaborative team that values integrity, continuous learning, accountability, and respect.

• Step in to support office management leadership duties during peak times or in the manager's absence
• Support a culture of teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement

• Exceptional organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and a commitment to data accuracy
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate effectively across multiple departments
• Bilingual communication skills (please specify your language proficiency when applying)
• High school diploma or GED required; an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field is a plus

=== WE HIRE PEOPLE, NOT JUST RESUMES ===

Even if you don't check every single box above, we still encourage you to apply. We value passion, a willingness to learn, and a heart for service just as much as technical administrative credentials.

• Opportunities for mentorship, training, and career growth
• Leadership that values transparency, respect, and teamwork
• Commitment to a welcoming and inclusive workplace
