The Sales Manager at our Van Center is a dealmaker and a culture-builder in equal measure. You'll lead our sales team, own our commercial and retail sales performance, and help establish the consultative, hospitality-driven sales approach that will differentiate us in the market. This is a high-impact leadership role at a brand-new facility — your chance to build a winning team from the ground up.
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.
