About the team and position

• Develop and execute a strategic account plan to grow ADESA's institutional/national consignor base, including OEMs, captive and independent lenders, and fleet/lease companies.
• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting and needs assessment through proposal development, negotiation, and contract closure for assigned national accounts.
• Build and maintain executive-level relationships with decision-makers at target and existing institutional accounts.
• Manage and grow an assigned annual unit (vehicle volume) target across a defined book of accounts, in line with the incentive plan structure.

• Represent ADESA at industry events, conferences, and national account meetings.

What you should know

• 7+ years of B2B sales or business development experience, with a track record of managing complex, consultative sales cycles against a quota.
• Prior experience in automotive remarketing, wholesale auction, fleet/lease, or a closely related industry strongly preferred; direct relationships with OEMs, lenders, or institutional consignors a plus.

• Proficiency with CRM systems (Salesforce or equivalent) for pipeline management and reporting.
• Excellent negotiation, executive presence, and relationship-building skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• Willingness to travel 40–50% to client sites, industry events, and national account meetings.

What we'll offer in return

• Full-Time Salary Position with a competitive salary.
• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits.
• 401K with company match.
• A multitude of perks including student loan payments, discounts on vehicles, benefits for your pets, and much more..
