  • Operational Excellence: Identify and resolve systemic and process issues impacting funding speed, accuracy, or compliance; implement workflow automation and efficiency initiatives.
  • Escalation Resolution: Serve as the final point of escalation for high-priority dealer issues, contract exceptions, and cross-departmental disputes.
  • KPI Ownership: Establish, track, and analyze departmental KPIs, using data to drive decision-making and present performance updates to executive leadership.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Sales, Credit, Titles, and Account Management to ensure smooth contract flow and dealer satisfaction.
  • Process Innovation: Lead initiatives for funding technology upgrades, automation tools, and policy refinements to support growth and risk mitigation.
  • Dealer Relationship Stewardship: Oversee the development of dealer communication standards to enhance trust, transparency, and retention.

What You Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, business, or related field preferred.
  • 7+ years of experience in auto loan funding or related field, with at least 3+ years in a managerial role, preferably with independent automobile dealers.
  • Proven success leading teams in a high-volume, deadline-driven lending environment.
  • Strong understanding of lending regulations, funding policies, and compliance standards.
  • Exceptional leadership, coaching, and communication skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, loan origination systems, and workflow management tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and implement process improvements.

  • Occasional light physical effort such as moving files or meeting materials.
