The Role:

We are looking for an ambitious and driven Director of Sales, Dealership located in the Central U.S. (between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River) that will sign up auto dealership service centers. This is a great opportunity for a charismatic seller who enjoys being on the road meeting prospects face to face to expand Sunbit’s success and build Sunbit into the #1 customer financing solution for auto dealerships across the US.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Drive go-to-market strategy for launching and expanding product adoption across the regional auto dealership service center market, ensuring alignment with overall company objectives.

• Mentor and guide sales team members, contributing to talent development and fostering a high-performance sales culture in the region.

What You'll Bring:

• At least 7 years of territory sales experience
• Used to closing deals in person – this is not a phone sales position
• Excellent communication skills, both on the phone and in face-to-face meetings
• Intelligent, go-getter, ambitious, self-motivated, and determined to succeed
• Great time management skills and ability to self-manage

Bonus points if you have the following:
