Customer Engagement Manager

At myKaarma, we’re not just leading the way in fixed ops solutions for the automotive industry—we’re redefining what’s possible for dealership service centers. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and powered by a global team, our industry-leading SaaS platform combines communication, scheduling, and payment tools in one seamless solution that keeps dealerships and vehicle owners connected. With myKaarma, every service interaction flows effortlessly, bringing good karma to customers and service teams.

Rooted in the principles of the Toyota Production System, we operate with precision, efficiency, and a relentless focus on continuous improvement to deliver a better experience for all. We’re looking for innovators, problem-solvers, and tech enthusiasts passionate about building solutions people love to use.  If you’re ready to make an impact in an industry ripe for change, join us at myKaarma and help shape the future of automotive service.

At myKaarma, exceptional customer interactions are the cornerstone of our success. Our platform is meticulously engineered to communicate with customers at every aspect of the service, repair, and maintenance journey, ensuring positive and memorable experiences.

As a Customer Engagement Manager, you will report to the Sr. Director of Customer Engagement Operations and act as a performance consultant for a portfolio of dealership clients. You will combine automotive fixed-operations knowledge, technology fluency, and a consultative mindset to identify operational gaps, recommend practical improvements, and help dealers increase adoption and performance across myKaarma’s platform. This is a high-ownership, client-facing role for someone who asks strong questions, applies a kaizen mindset, communicates effectively with dealership leaders, and follows through from analysis to execution.

We believe in being transparent about what it takes to be successful in this role. As a trusted partner to our customers, you’ll often be one of the first people they turn to when something isn’t working as expected or when they need help navigating a challenge. At times, those conversations may come with urgency or frustration. You’ll need to remain composed, listen carefully, and help move the conversation toward a productive resolution—even when the issue itself may be outside your direct control.

• Own a book of business and the cadence of client engagement, performance reviews, follow-up, and documentation.
• Conduct remote consultative engagements that improve dealer operations and utilization across myKaarma’s product suite.
• Track key performance indicators and use performance trends to identify operational gaps, improvement opportunities, and accounts requiring additional support.
• Identify at-risk accounts and implement corrective strategies designed to strengthen engagement, customer value, and long-term account health.
• Maintain accountability for timely delivery, reliability, and customer satisfaction across assigned accounts.
• Navigate sensitive operational discussions with dealership leaders at multiple levels, adapting the focus and communication approach to the audience.
• Manage larger and more strategic relationships across dealer groups and/or OEM partners.
• Identify expansion opportunities through strong account relationships that may contribute to increased MRR and ACV.
• Partner with Consulting and Operations leadership to analyze, improve, and scale internal processes.
• Use a genchi genbutsu consultative approach when appropriate to understand client operations and drive performance.
• Protect recurring revenue and minimize churn risk across assigned accounts.

• 4–8 years of relevant experience in the automotive industry (dealer, vendor, or OEM), consulting, or a similarly demanding environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, Operations, or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
• Strong knowledge of dealership fixed operations, from appointment taking through payment processing, including the repair-order (RO) lifecycle.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify patterns and trends and translate data into actionable insights.
• Familiarity with established change-management techniques and experience helping customers or stakeholders adopt new processes or ways of working.
• Strong relationship management and communication skills, with the persistence and professionalism to navigate challenges and drive customer performance.
• Ability to work autonomously, prioritize strategically, and consistently deliver high-quality work on time.

• Prior fixed-operations and/or performance or customer-success consulting experience.
• Experience in a growth-stage division or start-up environment.
