Auto Sales & Finance Manager
Russo Auto Sales – Kelowna, BC
Build Your Business Within Our Business
Russo Auto Sales is looking for an experienced Automotive Sales & Finance Professional to join our team.
This is not your typical dealership role.
Unlike large corporate dealerships where sales and finance are split into separate departments, we operate on a hybrid model. We believe the best customer experience happens when one professional builds the relationship from start to finish. The salesperson who earns the customer's trust is also the person who helps them secure financing, complete the transaction, and present finance products that genuinely benefit the customer.
This system creates a smoother buying experience for our clients while allowing our team members to earn commission on both the front end of the sale and the finance side of the transaction. We believe it is one of the best income opportunities available in the Okanagan for the right individual.
About Us
Russo Auto Sales has proudly served the Okanagan for 34 years and is one of British Columbia's longest-standing independent pre-owned dealerships.
While many competitors have come and gone, we've continued to grow because we've built our business on integrity, honesty, and treating people the right way.
We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics.
We don't push customers into vehicles they don't need.
We don't sell finance products simply to maximize profit.
We believe that if you genuinely help people, they'll continue to refer friends and family for years to come.
Who We're Looking For
This is not an entry-level position.
We're looking for a seasoned automotive professional who already has experience in both automotive sales and automotive finance.
