- Customer Focused – You communicate professionally and understand that great service creates repeat customers.
- Tech Savvy – You are comfortable working with computers, online marketplaces, email, electronic catalogs, and dealership systems.

- Online automotive parts sales experience
- E-commerce or marketplace sales experience
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Excellent computer skills
- Strong attention to detail

At Elmhurst Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you’ll have the opportunity to help build and grow our online parts business, reach customers beyond our local market, and directly contribute to the department’s sales and profitability.
