A day in the life

Your morning might start with a stand-up with your onboarding team, reviewing yesterday's dealer activations and troubleshooting a technical issue that's blocking three new partners. By mid-morning, you're in a working session with engineering, whiteboarding a new automated workflow that could cut onboarding time in half.

After lunch, you're presenting your quarterly roadmap to senior leadership, backed by data showing how your process improvements have increased dealer satisfaction scores. The afternoon brings a strategy session with your business development counterparts - you're designing the onboarding experience for a new vehicle category launching next quarter.

You wrap up the day reviewing your team's progress, mentoring a program manager on stakeholder communication, and sketching out ideas for a self-service onboarding portal. It's fast-paced, it's challenging, and no two days are the same. You go home knowing you've moved the needle on something that will change how millions of people buy cars.
