The Sales Account Manager will focus on maintaining and expanding CarGurus’ existing customer base through the analysis of performance data, re-negotiation of subscription rates, prospecting of potential up-sell and cross-sell opportunities, and mitigation of customer churn. Additionally, Sales Account Managers are responsible for active account management including, but not limited to, addressing and resolving all issues that customers may encounter with their subscriptions. As a seasoned sales professional, it is critical that candidates be persuasive and self-motivated, as they will be expected to manage their own time, set priorities, forecast their pipelines, and meet monthly goals.

In this role, candidates must also be comfortable conveying issues to the larger CarGurus organization. As such, candidates must bring strong analytical thinking, presentation, and problem-solving skills.
