Sales Executive- OEM Programs

ABOUT VICIMUS

Vicimus is a leading automotive technology company powering the Bumper ecosystem - a suite of SaaS solutions designed to help dealerships improve customer engagement, retention, and marketing performance. Our products integrate with OEM systems, dealership DMS platforms, and CRM tools to deliver measurable ROI across sales and service operations.

With established OEM partnerships and endorsements from major automotive manufacturers, we're uniquely positioned to deliver enterprise-level solutions that align with OEM standards and dealership group objectives.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a strategic, OEM-focused sales role designed for someone who can navigate complex, multi-stakeholder environments and capitalize on our endorsed partnerships.

You'll be responsible for driving adoption of Bumper Lifecycle and Bumper Ads within these OEM networks, working with regional managers, dealer councils, and individual dealerships to accelerate growth. This is not a traditional territory sales role - it's a program-driven position that requires strong relationship-building, strategic account planning, and the ability to leverage OEM endorsements into revenue.

You'll have the advantage of selling into warm networks where Vicimus is already recognized and endorsed, but success will depend on your ability to execute consultative sales, build trust with dealership leadership, and demonstrate how our solutions drive measurable results.

We expect the successful candidate will realize on-target earnings in excess of $140,000 in the first year with room to grow beyond by exceeding targets and in consecutive years.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Vicimus has earned OEM endorsements with key OEMs - a significant competitive advantage in the automotive SaaS space. These endorsements open doors, but converting those opportunities into revenue requires someone who understands:
