Automotive Fixed Operations Director Jobs in Raleigh, NC

Company Description

DSplus is a Saatchi & Saatchi company. It was created 14 years ago around the idea of a "Digital Salesperson" who leads a customer through the entire lifecycle of their automobile ownership journey.

Our clients are Toyota Motor North America, and Toyota & Lexus Dealerships across the country. DSplus is also proud to be an Agency of Record for Southeast Toyota Distributors, the world's largest independent distributor of Toyotas.

Our mission is to merge the world-class branding efforts of our mothership, Saatchi & Saatchi, with the retail needs of our Dealerships. The result: an end-to-end customer experience that personifies the quality and integrity of the Toyota brand, and helps sell more cars.

DSplus employs a powerful data-driven, integrated messaging platform that works across the sales and service lifecycle. This cross-tier, cross-channel system is fueled by the perfect mix of Artificial Intelligence, insightful media strategies, and stunning, high-performance creative. Always aligned to the Toyota brand and to each client's unique value proposition, the system delivers sharp business results-while reaching the right target with the right message at the right time.

Over the years, DSplus has grown from a three-person start-up to a diverse, agile team of 45, who dream big, solve tough problems, and have fun at work.

Our culture values authenticity, transparency, and collaboration, while setting the bar high in the work we do. At DSplus, we recognize and reward success, always putting our employees first.

If you bring inventive thinking, boundless enthusiasm, and tireless energy-with a passion for client service that fuels us into the future, this might be just the fit.
