Join the Gateway Classic Cars Team
At Gateway Classic Cars, we help automotive enthusiasts buy and sell the collector vehicles they have always dreamed of owning. As the world’s largest classic car sales company, our showrooms are home to thousands of classic, muscle, exotic, and specialty vehicles.
Those vehicles do not arrive by chance. They come from the relationships we build with collectors, vehicle owners, restoration shops, car clubs, and members of the local automotive community.
We are looking for a Classic Car Consignment Specialist who enjoys meeting people, building relationships, and creating new business opportunities. If you are comfortable starting conversations, following up consistently, and becoming involved in the local collector car community, we would love to meet you.
Whether your background is in business development, outside sales, automotive sales, account management, relationship based sales, or community outreach, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.
About the Role
This is more than a traditional sales position.
As a Classic Car Consignment Specialist, you will connect with vehicle owners and help them understand how Gateway can assist with selling their collector vehicles. You will build relationships from the first conversation through the completed consignment and continue those relationships to encourage repeat business and referrals.
Some days will be spent speaking with prospective consignors by phone, text, and email. Other days may include attending a car show, meeting with a restoration shop, visiting a private collection, hosting a car club meeting, or helping a customer bring a vehicle into the showroom.
Success in this position comes from consistent outreach, strong follow through, and earning the trust of the collector car community.
