Associate II Sales/Dealer Development Manager at Protective

This role is ideal for a seasoned automotive professional with 2–5 years of B2B sales or retail dealership experience. It is specifically designed for someone who understands the "Finance and Insurance" (F&I) side of the car business and enjoys training dealership staff on how to improve their processes. You’ll need to be a self-starter who is comfortable working remotely and acting as a brand ambassador. The position offers a stable salary of $125,000 and the flexibility of being "fully remote," though it is grounded in a specific territory. The most significant highlight is the balance between relationship management and active business development; you aren't just maintaining accounts, you're driving strategy. Note that travel is a major component here, ranging from 50% to 75%. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have deep knowledge of F&I products and dealership operations. * Are comfortable with heavy travel (up to 75% of the time) via air or car. * Possess a "hunter" mindset for cold calling and lead generation combined with a "consultant" approach to client service. * Have a valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle for site visits.
