Senior Account Executive managing dealer partnerships to drive business growth at Cars Commerce. Leading consultative sales processes and building tailored multi-solution proposals.
Responsibilities:
- Own and grow a book of dealer accounts, selling across the full Cars Commerce suite: Cars.com marketplace, Dealer Inspire digital retailing and websites, Accu-Trade, and digital media solutions
- Lead discovery conversations at the dealer principal, GM, and marketing director level to understand each dealer’s operational and growth challenges
- Build tailored, multi-solution proposals that tie Cars Commerce products to measurable dealer outcomes (leads, inventory turn, digital retailing performance, trade acquisition efficiency)

- Identify whitespace — dealers not yet leveraging the full platform — and create pathways to deeper adoption
- Partner with Customer Success and Dealer Success Managers to ensure seamless onboarding and expansion post-sale
- Stay current on automotive retail trends, OEM programs, inventory market conditions, and competitive landscape to advise dealers as a credible industry consultant
Requirements:
- 8+ years of B2B field sales experience with a documented, multi-year track record of meeting or exceeding quota

- SaaS, digital media, or marketing technology sales background, particularly in verticals with high SMB-to-enterprise dealer or franchisee dynamics
- Comfort operating in a high-activity, travel-intensive field role calling on business owners and senior dealership leadership
- Proven ability to run a consultative sales process: discovery, needs analysis, solution design, business case development, and close
