Strong candidates have come from hospitality, outdoor recreation, technology, financial services, and high-end retail.

Is this you?

You're a warm, genuine communicator who earns trust naturally -- guests feel listened to and well served in every interaction, not processed toward a decision

You come from hospitality, outdoor and lifestyle industries, retail, financial services, or another consultative background -- and you're ready to represent two brands that Bellingham buyers choose with genuine enthusiasm

You want to build a sales career in a close-knit Pacific Northwest community where the right consultant earns a loyal client base that refers their neighbors, their family, and their coworkers

Who we are

Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.

Audi Volkswagen of Bellingham serves a loyal, community-oriented buyer base in Whatcom County -- a distinctive Pacific Northwest market where buyers are engaged with their brands, value authenticity over polish, and remember the consultants who took the time to understand what they actually needed. Audi's performance and technology story and Volkswagen's design and value proposition give a well-prepared consultant two genuinely compelling brands to represent. No automotive experience required -- we hire for character, curiosity, and the ability to connect with people honestly, and train everything else.

Welcome guests with genuine curiosity and warmth -- understanding what they want before presenting what we have

Guide guests through Audi and Volkswagen's lineups with growing product knowledge and confidence -- connecting performance, design, technology, and value to what matters most to each individual buyer

Present vehicles and conduct test drives that bring the Audi and Volkswagen ownership experiences to life

What we're looking for

No automotive experience required -- paid Audi and Volkswagen brand and product training provided from day one

Genuine curiosity about both brands -- Audi's performance and technology story and Volkswagen's design and value credentials give a prepared consultant real conversations to have with engaged buyers

Relationship-first approach -- you listen before you present and earn trust before you ask for the sale

Self-motivated with a genuine drive to build a long-term book of repeat and referral buyers

Comfortable with CRM tools and digital communication -- or quick to learn them

Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

What we offer

OTE of $50,000 - $125,000+ annually
