Mercedesbenzofmarin, Vancouver, WA, United States


Description

Mercedes-Benz | Sprinter Van | Luxury & Hospitality | B2B | Vancouver, WA

The Service Advisor is the face of our service experience — the person who sets expectations, builds trust, and ensures every client feels genuinely cared for. If you love the intersection of automotive expertise and exceptional customer relationships, this role was made for you. Join us as a founding team member and help define what exceptional van service looks like in the Pacific Northwest.

About Mercedes-Benz Van Center of Vancouver
The Mercedes-Benz Van Center of Vancouver is a brand-new, dedicated Sprinter Van Center opening in August 2026 in the heart of the Vancouver/Portland metro area. We are not just another dealership — we are a purpose-built facility focused exclusively on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, serving businesses, commercial fleets, adventure enthusiasts, and hospitality partners across the Pacific Northwest.

This is a rare ground-floor opportunity. You won't be inheriting someone else's culture or fitting into an existing mold — you'll be helping to build it. We believe that exceptional hospitality isn't just for guests; it starts with how we treat each other and every person who walks through our doors.

At our Van Center, hospitality is a core value — not a department. Every team member plays a role in delivering an experience that is warm, professional, and genuinely different from anything in our market.
