    Job Description

    WANTED: Automotive Finance Manager (F&I Leader)

    Positions Available: 1-2 | Location: Roselle, IL | Type: Full-Time

    Tired of the Typical Dealership Grind?

    Most automotive dealerships talk about being a "family," but at Dick Wickstrom Chevrolet, we’ve actually been living it since 1963. We know the F&I office can be high-stress and long hours at other stores. Here, we do things differently.

    We believe that happy employees lead to happier customers. That’s why we actively champion work-life balance—offering workday flexibility because we know your family comes first. We aren't just looking for someone to push paperwork; we are looking for up to two driven Finance Managers who want to build a legacy, mentor their peers, and grow with a dealership that promotes from within.

    The Wickstrom Difference

    Before we ask what you can do for us, here is what we do for you:

    • Real Work-Life Balance: Flexibility during the workday to keep your family first.

    • Sales Hours: Monday thru Friday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm.  Saturdays 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

    • A Winning Culture: Monthly employee recognition, annual off-site team-building events, and a close-knit, supportive environment.

    • Growth & Mentorship: A robust Peer Learning Program, product training, certification opportunities, and a strict "promote from within" philosophy.

    • Projected Compensation:$100,000 - $150,000 per year earning potential.

    • Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid vacation time, and supplemental insurance options.

    What You’ll Be Doing (Your Day-to-Day)

    You will be the bridge between our Sales team, our lenders, and our valued customers. You aren't just closing deals; you are maximizing profitability while delivering a 5-star experience.

    • Customer Experience: Welcome customers transitioning from Sales, conduct consultative credit interviews, and present fully transparent pricing menus for financing and aftermarket products.

    • Deal Structuring & Compliance: Structure conventional, subprime, and special finance deals. Ensure 100% compliance with all state/federal laws, dealership guidelines, and confidentiality standards. 

    • Lender Relationships: Maintain exceptional relationships with current finance sources, manufacturers, and vendors while hunting for new lender partnerships. Track portfolios and rehash deals to maximize approvals.

    • Leadership & Mentorship: Work in conjunction with all departments sales, service, parts and accounting.

    • Administrative Excellence: Review paperwork for correct titles, liens, and taxes. Inspect the daily flow of paperwork to ensure lightning-fast funding turnarounds.

    What You Bring to the Showroom (Your Specs)

    • Experience: 1 to 5+ years of proven Automotive Dealership Finance (F&I) or automotive sales leadership experience.

    • Skills: Highly organized, heavily detail-oriented, and tech-savvy. You must have advanced proficiency in dealership software, Microsoft Office, and internet applications.

    • Mindset: A consultative closer with high ethical standards, professional appearance, and a commitment to customer loyalty (CSI).

    • Education: High school diploma or equivalent required (College degree is a plus).
