IS THIS YOU?

• You're a warm, professional communicator who builds trust naturally -- guests feel genuinely heard and well cared for in every interaction with you

• You come from luxury hospitality, technology, high-end retail, financial services, or another consultative guest-facing background -- and you're ready to represent a brand built on design, safety, and sustainability in one of the Pacific Northwest's most affluent and values-driven communities

• You want to build a real sales career at a Bellevue Volvo store where the brand's story resonates deeply with the people who buy it and the consultant who tells it honestly earns lasting loyalty

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.

Volvo Cars Bellevue serves a discerning, values-conscious guest base on the Eastside of the Seattle metro -- one of the most affluent and tech-forward markets in the Pacific Northwest. Volvo buyers here choose the brand deliberately -- for its safety leadership, Scandinavian design, and commitment to sustainability -- and they return to the consultants who match that thoughtfulness with genuine knowledge and honest guidance. No automotive background required. We hire for character, curiosity, and a hospitality-first mindset -- and train everything else.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Welcome guests to Volvo Cars Bellevue with genuine warmth and professionalism -- creating a first impression that reflects the character of the brand

• Guide guests through Volvo's lineup with growing product knowledge and confidence -- connecting the brand's safety technology, Scandinavian design, and electrification story to what matters most to each individual buyer

• Listen carefully to understand each guest's needs, values, and priorities -- then present the right vehicle with clarity and authentic enthusiasm

• Conduct engaging vehicle presentations and test drives that bring the Volvo ownership experience to life

• Build lasting guest relationships through consistent, thoughtful follow-up and disciplined CRM use

• Collaborate with sales management and finance to guide guests through a seamless, transparent purchase process

• Meet monthly performance targets while maintaining excellent guest satisfaction scores

• Stay current on Volvo's full lineup, technology features, and rapidly expanding electrified and plug-in hybrid offerings

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• No automotive experience required -- paid Volvo brand and product training provided from day one

• Previous experience in luxury hospitality, technology, high-end retail, financial services, or a consultative guest-facing role strongly preferred

• Genuine alignment with the Volvo brand story -- safety, sustainability, and Scandinavian design are real talking points in this market and the best consultants believe in them

• Natural communicator who listens well, builds rapport quickly, and follows through with integrity

• Self-motivated with a genuine desire to grow your earnings and your career over time

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

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

Strong candidates have come from technology, luxury hospitality, financial services, outdoor and lifestyle industries, and high-end retail. What they share is a track record of earning the trust of thoughtful, values-driven buyers and delivering results with genuine care.
