  • Collaborate cross-functionally : align with Marketing, Delivery, Service, and Product teams to ensure consistency across messaging and handoffs.
  • Elevate the operation : help maintain presentation-ready studio spaces; share customer insights to improve sales motions, content, and programs.
  • Growth path : high performers may be considered for lead responsibilities (shift leadership, mentorship, and elevated KPIs).

Required Qualifications for Position

  • 25 years of success in premium automotive, luxury retail, or high-end tech sales with a consistent record of meeting / exceeding targets.
  • Demonstrated ability to run a full sales cycle (qualification ? demo / test drive ? proposal ? close ? delivery ? follow-up).
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills; consultative, customer-first approach.
  • Comfortable working on-site in a fast-paced, startup environment with evenings / weekends / holidays as needed.
  • Frequent travel across Southern / Northern California markets (e.g., Torrance, Culver City, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, San Diego).
