Job description

Axle Sales Hunter

Axle is the insurance communication infrastructure for the age of AI. Leading Fortune 500 lenders, fleet managers and 1200+ franchise dealers use Axle to instantly verify insurance and monitor ongoing coverage, helping them reduce operational cost while creating a frictionless experience for consumers. Axle is supported by top investors, including Gradient, Google's early-stage AI fund, Y Combinator, and industry leaders from Plaid and Cox Automotive.

Axle is growing rapidly and looking for our first full-time sales hunter to help scale our Automotive business. This is a unique opportunity to shape and build Axle's Automotive go-to-market motion from the ground up. You'll bring deep knowledge of Automotive DMS and CRM platforms, strong relationships with large groups, OEMs, and automotive ecosystem partners, and a clear understanding of how dealerships function across Sales, F&I and Fixed Operations. As a trusted advisor to dealer principals / owners, large groups, OEMs and other ecosystem partners, you'll show how Axle can reduce risk, streamline operations, and improve bottom-line profitability. You'll also tap into Axle's powerful channel ecosystem to accelerate adoption and scale impact across the industry. Finally, you will be a "doer" and are eager to once again roll up your sleeves and dive in to setting up a sales cycle.

  • Trusted relationships, real impact : Work directly with executives at the largest dealer groups and OEM partners.

Impact

  • Build and nurture C-level operational relationships at large groups and OEM partners.
  • Act as a trusted advisor, guiding leaders on risk and profit levers across Fixed Ops, F&I, and Sales.
  • Drive rapid growth through a mix of direct sales and co-selling with Axle's trusted channel partners.
  • Deliver compelling demos and consultative business cases that highlight Axle's impact on dealer profitability and efficiency.
  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to deliver tailored solutions and ensure successful onboarding.
  • Translate customer insights into product feedback to help shape Axle's dealer roadmap.
  • What Would Set You Up for Success?

  • Proven ability to build and maintain senior relationships across major dealer groups and OEMs.
  • Strong consultative sales skills, with a history of serving as a trusted advisor to executives.
  • Strong solution selling skills, with identifying customer gain points and knowing when the product can or can't help them.
  • Clear understanding of dealership operations and profit centers.
  • Entrepreneurial builder with a process mindset; thrives in early-stage, fast-growth environments. This includes being process-oriented enough to track your progress and achieve results through the full sales stack (e.g., building a pipeline, finding leads, qualifying leads, selling, closing, etc.).
  • Ability to work cross-functionally to understand customers, identify feature gaps, and work with our product and solution teams to prioritize them.
  • Early adopter of AI sales tools and excited to learn / develop more skills.
  • Even Better If

  • Deep relationships with executives across the Top 150 dealer groups.
  • Prior success introducing new technology categories into the dealer ecosystem.
  • Experience co-selling with channel partners.
  • History of thought leadership in dealership technology (e.g., NADA speaking, OEM workshops).
