• Partner with GMs and Sales Managers on inventory-driven campaigns, aged-unit movement, monthly payment offers, and other sales initiatives.
• Oversee inventory syndication and third-party listings, including Autotrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, and Facebook Marketplace, and evaluate the ROI of each platform.
• Own dealership website marketing, including content, merchandising, SRP/VDP experience, offers, and conversion optimization.
• Work with website providers to create and maintain monthly website coupons, incentives, and special offers.
• Drive service and parts marketing through retention campaigns, declined-service follow-up, tire and accessory promotions, seasonal campaigns, and service scheduler optimization.

• Proven experience hiring, managing, and developing creative or content teams, including setting production schedules and providing editorial feedback.
• Strong understanding of short-form video strategy, social media platforms, and evolving platform algorithms; able to recognize what makes content effective, not just whether it was produced.

• Ability to develop marketing strategies that connect creative execution to measurable business results.
• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, business, communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
