Love cars? Love people? You might just love this job. We’re on the lookout for a Dealer Services Specialist II to join our crew at Manheim, part of the Cox family of businesses. This isn’t your average desk job. You’ll be the go-to person for our dealer clients, making sure their auction experience is smooth, professional, and maybe even a little fun. Think of yourself as the pit crew for their auction day — keeping everything running like a well-oiled machine.

The Dealer Services Specialist II serves as a key point of contact for assigned dealer clients, providing hands-on support throughout the auction and vehicle sales process. This role builds strong client relationships by understanding dealer needs, coordinating with internal teams, resolving issues, and ensuring vehicles move efficiently through pre-sale preparation and auction day activities. Using marketplace knowledge, vehicle valuation data, and industry trends, the specialist provides consultative guidance to help dealers make informed decisions and improve their overall auction experience. The role also educates clients on Manheim tools, services, and marketplace processes while delivering responsive, proactive support and a high level of ownership from start to finish.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Representing the dealer sales lane on sale days
• Promoting Manheim’s awesome products and services
• Helping dealers get vehicles ready for auction
• Negotiating bids, consulting on pricing, and offering reconditioning advice
• Solving problems and being the friendly face our clients count on

Who You Are: Quick thinker, problem solver, relationship builder — and ready to make every auction day a success.

Minimum:

• A high school diploma or GED and 3 years of experience in a related field. The right candidate could also have a different combination of education and experience, such as a degree or certification or 5 years of experience in a related field.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to perform at a high level and adapt within a fast-paced team environment.
• The ability to sit or stand for prolonged periods of time, perform repetitive tasks and lift up to 15 pounds.
• Vision requirements include being able to see close, far and in color, judge distances and adapt to changes in focus

Preferred:

• 1 to 3 years of auction experience or 2 to 4 years of dealership experience.
• Previous experience in sales support role.
• Bilingual English/Spanish a plus
