  • Process sales and auction paperwork, including DMV documentation and dealer registration.
  • Handle cash management tasks, including deposits, safe handling, and multiple payment types.
  • Support Business Office operations and mentor new associates as needed.
  • Follow CarMax Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) requirements and maintain a clean and orderly work area.

  • Ability to multi-task and prioritize in a fast-paced setting.
  • Maintain confidentiality of records and reports within scope of position.
  • Flexibility to work varied schedules, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
