Job description

Ourisman, Trusted Tradition

Here's to those who think differently. The ones who think that a car dealership's first priority should be the guest. Such a candid idea could only come from Ourisman. Because we're forward thinking, just like the communities we serve. Individuals who won't be constrained by how things "have always been done", but instead strive to do things "how they could be done" and "how they should be done." It is a philosophy we have infused into every fabric of our dealerships, from the bottom up, in every department, and in every Ourisman team member. Changing the way we all think about car buying is just the beginning.

Role Summary

Ourisman Automotive Group is seeking an experienced and results-driven Used Car Director to oversee the used car sales operations, ensuring profitability, efficiency, and high customer satisfaction.

  • Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate a diverse team.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively present information and negotiate deals.
