Remote Auto Buyer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Team: 

Upstart Auto Finance is reimagining how dealers structure, approve, and fund auto loans. Our mission is to bring modern technology, AI-driven credit decisioning, and seamless digital workflows to every dealership in America; helping dealers sell more cars, hold more gross, and fund faster.

We believe that buying a car should feel as intuitive as shopping online, with the power of AI lending driving faster approvals, better customer experiences, and stronger dealer profitability.
Think of it as the best of:

• Apple's elegant customer experience
• Amazon's frictionless operations
• Upstart's industry-leading AI lending platform,
  all working together to modernize the auto finance process

We're expanding our reach in the retail and finance ecosystem, bringing Upstart's proven AI credit decisioning to dealerships through Upstart Auto Finance (UAF), a first-look lending solution designed to streamline approvals, reduce friction, and unlock profit opportunities dealers didn't think were possible.
As an Account Executive on the Upstart Auto Finance Sales team, you'll be responsible for introducing UAF to dealerships in your territory and driving new partnerships from first conversation through signed agreement. You'll act as a consultant, helping dealers understand how AI-driven credit decisioning can improve their approval rates, funding speed, and profitability, while simplifying their operations. You'll collaborate with internal teams like, Implementation, Dealer Launch, and Dealer Success, to ensure a smooth handoff and successful launch.

This is a fast-paced, high-impact role where performance, discipline, and execution drive measurable growth.

• Build and manage relationships with Dealer Principals, GMs, and F&I Directors, aligning UAF's value to their front-end and back-end profit goals.
• Lead product demonstrations and discovery discussions that uncover dealer pain points - funding delays, approval gaps, and margin compression,  and connect them to UAF's unique value.
• Collaborate with your downstream partners to ensure a seamless transition from signed dealer to active, funded partner.
• Consistently exceed monthly and quarterly growth targets by maintaining a strong, consultative pipeline.
• Identify expansion opportunities within existing dealer groups, championing UAF across rooftops and brands.

Minimum Qualifications 

• 5+ years of full-cycle sales experience with a leading auto dealership technology provider, lender, or B2B SaaS platform.

• Strong understanding of dealership operations, particularly F&I, credit decisioning, and funding workflows.
• Experience selling both in-person and remotely to executive-level dealership stakeholders (Dealer Principal, GM, GSM, F&I Director).
• Exceptional communication, discovery, and presentation skills - able to simplify complex ideas for diverse audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated success working cross-functionally with Dealer Success, Implementation, and Product teams to ensure dealer satisfaction and performance post-launch.
• Experience leveraging AI or data-driven technology solutions to improve business outcomes in the automotive or fintech space.
• Skilled at managing extended teams,  including, DSM/DRMs, and support teams - to ensure a consistent dealer experience.
• A consultative selling style with strong discovery instincts, the ability to identify quantifiable pain, and a track record of turning insights into action.
