WHO WE ARE

Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.

- 2+ years of Finance Manager experience in a franchised dealership (luxury brand experience a strong plus) - Proven performance in PVR, VSC penetration, GAP penetration, and lender diversification - Deep knowledge of menu selling, compliance standards (Reg Z, TILA, FCRA), and deal structure - Strong communicator -- able to build trust with guests quickly and present options with confidence and clarity - Reynolds & Reynolds or CDK experience preferred - Active state F&I license, or the ability to obtain one prior to start - A hospitality mindset -- you protect the guest's interests and the dealership's integrity at the same time

WHAT WE OFFER

- Income potential of $72,000 - $180,000+ annually (base + commission) - Compensation structured competitively for the market - Medical, dental, and vision insurance - Life insurance and supplemental coverage options - Paid time off and paid holidays - Paid manufacturer and F&I product training - Clear career path -- strong F&I Managers grow into director and multi-store leadership roles at Swickard - Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts - A team culture built on standards, accountability, and genuine care for one another
