Viova (formerly Sadie Automotive) is an AI‑powered voice agent built specifically for automotive dealerships and service centers across North America. Viova answers every inbound call instantly, greets callers by name, books service appointments in real time, checks live availability, and delivers 24/7 customer support, all without human intervention. When a situation requires a human touch, Viova seamlessly transfers the call with full context.

Viova integrates directly with the dealer management systems and service scheduling platforms that dealerships already rely on, giving operators instant call answering, automated booking workflows, and a live performance dashboard. The result: captured service revenue, reduced staff overhead, and a better customer experience across every interaction.

We are establishing Viova as an independent business unit with its own leadership team, with ambitions to expand deeper into the automotive vertical and into adjacent dealer services. This is a ground‑floor opportunity to join a product that already works, at the moment it begins to scale.

We’re hiring a Partnerships Manager to build and scale Viova’s channel and reseller ecosystem. This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role for someone who thrives in builder environments and wants to create a partnerships function from the ground up.

You’ll own the full partnership lifecycle: sourcing, qualifying, onboarding, and growing relationships with dealer group networks, automotive technology providers, DMS and CRM platforms, OEM‑affiliated programs, reseller networks, and distribution partners. Your work will bring Viova directly into the workflows of dealerships and service centers across North America and, over time, into adjacent automotive and fleet verticals.

You’ll work cross‑functionally with Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to drive integration delivery, partner launches, and co‑go‑to‑market initiatives. You’ll report to the CEO of Viova and have a direct line to shaping the commercial strategy of the business.

Drive commercial impact through partnerships
