Dealer Activation Manager

is responsible for executing UVeye’s onboarding, relaunch, and enablement processes to ensure every dealer achieves early adoption, operational consistency, and long‑term success. This role delivers the structured 90‑day activation experience, partners closely with CSMs, and drives the hands‑on work that accelerates time‑to‑value at the dealership. This manager is a frontline operator, conducting training, implementing processes, reinforcing best practices, and supporting new‑hire onboarding at dealer locations. They are responsible for bringing structure, clarity, and consistency to every new installation and relaunch, ensuring dealers are fully enabled across all departments.

A Day in the Life & How You’ll Make an Impact:

You wake up thinking about

speed‑to‑value . Not theory. Not slides. Real dealers, real lanes, real adoption.

Own dealer activations from install through first value, ensuring no dead time between “live” and “useful”

Review activation pipelines: new installs, relaunches, at‑risk dealers, and upcoming onsite days

Align with Sales, CSMs, and Ops on why the dealer bought UVeye and what success looks like in the first 30–60 days

Validate installs, lane readiness, and data flow so Day 1 is smooth and intentional

Plan and lead onsite launches and relaunches across service, sales, and BDC

Dealer‑Facing Execution

Lead hands‑on dealer activations focused on real workflows and outcomes

Train teams on how to win with UVeye, not just how to use the product

Drive adoption in real time: advisors using it, managers reviewing it, leaders caring about it

Identify friction quickly—process gaps, people issues, or technical blockers—and resolve or elevate fast

Set clear expectations with GMs and department leaders on what “good” looks like post‑activation

Internal Partnership & Follow‑Through

Partner with CSMs to transition dealers cleanly into ongoing success with no dropped balls

Document activation outcomes, risks, and next steps in Salesforce (clean data enables clean decisions)

Flag early expansion signals: additional lanes, Atlas, BDC Booster, merchandising, or relaunch needs

Share feedback and learnings with internal teams to continuously improve installs, product, and process

Eliminate the gap between installation and value

Protect renewals before they’re ever at risk

Accelerate expansion by proving value early

This role is the difference between UVeye being installed and UVeye being indispensable.
