Job Description

Automotive Sales Account Manager

A leading player in the automotive aftermarket is seeking a driven Automotive Sales Account Manager to support business growth across the Southeast. The company is thriving in a $3B+ segment fueled by extended vehicle lifespans and rising demand for repair solutions.

This newly created, field-based role is perfect for a self-starter who excels in relationship-building, sales enablement, and frontline training. You’ll serve as the go-to regional contact for key retail accounts, driving revenue through in-store visits, staff coaching, and targeted business development.

This Role Offers:

• Competitive base salary plus commission tied to new business generation.
• Mileage reimbursement (with future potential for monthly stipend or auto allowance).
• Corporate card for travel and lodging expenses.
• Opportunity to grow with a fast-scaling company that’s deeply invested in employee success.

Focus:

• Serve as the primary field liaison for established accounts, fostering trust and top-tier service.
• Visit up to 15 stores per day within the territory to deliver product training and sales support to commercial teams.
• Collaborate closely with client-side area managers to reinforce program value and troubleshoot store-level concerns.
• Conduct in-store workshops and attend open house events and regional trade shows to boost brand presence.
• Perform regular SWOT analyses and deliver monthly reports on sales activity, product adoption, and competitive trends.
• Proactively uncover and pitch opportunities to introduce products into new locations, accounts, and distribution channels.

Skill Set:

• 2–5 years of customer-facing experience in account management, outside sales, or retail training. Automotive aftermarket exposure is a plus, but not required.
• Competitive mindset – collegiate athletics or other performance-driven experiences are strongly valued.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a knack for teaching and motivating others.
• Disciplined and self-motivated with the ability to manage your schedule independently.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); CRM experience is helpful.
• Willingness to travel up to 50% throughout the assigned region.
