Used Vehicle Director

Overview

Let’s get this out of the way first:
If you’re comfortable with chaos, allergic to excuses, and oddly excited by inventory turn… we should probably talk.

Sutherlin Subaru is looking for a Used Vehicle Director who knows the difference between having cars and having the right cars. This isn’t a babysitting role. This is a build-it, own-it, win-with-it seat.

If you’ve ever said, “Give me the authority and I’ll fix it,” congratulations. This is that moment.

• Owning the entire used car operation: acquisition, pricing, reconditioning, merchandising, and performance
• Turning inventory like it owes you money (because it does)
• Buying smart at auction and locally (we love both)
• Working with Sales and Service without unnecessary drama
• Coaching managers and sales teams to actually understand used cars, not fear them
• Watching data, trends, and margins like a hawk with Wi-Fi
• Building a department that runs tight, fast, and profitable…even on Mondays

• Proven experience leading a high-performing used vehicle operation
• Strong inventory strategy skills (age, turn, mix, not just “more trucks”)
• Comfortable with accountability, transparency, and real KPIs
• A sense of humor (mandatory) and an ego that fits through doorways
• Someone who hates excuses but loves developing people
• Subaru experience is cool USED CAR MASTERY is required

• Leadership that actually listens
• Autonomy to run your department like a professional, not a micromanaged experiment
• A growing organization that invests in its people
• Competitive pay plan that rewards results, not politics
• A dealership culture where “that’s how we’ve always done it” is not a strategy

This job is not for someone who wants to hide in their office, blame the market, or wait for the perfect car to magically appear.

It is for someone who wants to build something, lead a team, and win consistently.

If that’s you, we should probably stop pretending this is just an ad.

Apply now or reach out directly. Let’s see what you can do.
