F&I Manager (Business Manager)
Sunsetford, Waterloo, IL, United States
The Opportunity: Elite Performance in a Family Environment
Sunset Ford has been a cornerstone of the automotive industry since 1912. Our
Waterloo, IL
location is seeking a heavy-hitting
F&I Manager
who takes pride in driving massive PVR & PPR while maintaining the highest levels of integrity.
While your primary focus will be mastering the "box" and maximizing finance profitability, we are looking for a versatile leader. You aren't just a "finance person"—you are a key player in the management team with the ability to step out and assist on the sales desk when needed. If you are a closer who thrives on structuring deals and winning with lenders, you belong at Sunset Ford.
The Mission: Lead, Close, and Protect
As our F&I Manager, you are the final checkpoint for every deal. Your role is centered on financial excellence with a collaborative management edge:
Elite F&I Production:
Execute a professional menu-selling process to maximize PVR and maintain high penetration rates for VSCs, GAP, and ancillary products.
Lender Relations:
Build and leverage aggressive relationships with local and national lenders to secure the best rates and fast approvals for all credit tiers.
Total Deal Support:
Act as a strategic partner to the sales floor—desking deals, structuring financing options, and performing professional trade-in appraisals to ensure we own our inventory correctly.
Compliance Authority:
Ensure 100% accuracy and compliance with all state and federal regulations; your deal jackets must be "bulletproof."
CIT Management:
Take personal ownership of Contracts-In-Transit to ensure the dealership’s cash flow remains optimal.
Team Integration:
Provide "turns" and coaching to the sales team to improve deal structure and handoff quality.
