About Plug
Plug is the marketplace for used electric vehicles. Consumers get an instant cash offer backed by battery-health data, and dealers across the US bid in real time on that inventory. Former Tesla executives founded Plug in 2023. We’ve facilitated over $150M in EV sales and raised a $20M Series A led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

Why Plug

  • You’ll own a piece of the biggest automotive infrastructure opportunity.

  • You’ll work on a platform built exclusively for EVs, with nothing adapted from legacy automotive.

  • You’ll be part of an AI-native company. We’re rethinking how work gets done at a fundamental level.

  • You’ll work directly with operators who have scaled multi-billion dollar businesses in automotive, EV, and marketplaces.

  • You’ll have real ownership, high autonomy, and a direct line to company outcomes.

The Opportunity
As a Plug Sales Advisor, you’ll join the acquisitions team and source inventory from the public and our dealer partners. Plug Buyers run every step of the sale: valuations, negotiations, inspections, purchasing, and post-sale work. You’ll help move the auto market toward sustainable transportation.

You’re analytical and interested in automotive, especially EVs. You’re goal-oriented and self-motivated. You talk easily with people at every level of the company.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Handle inbound leads and value EVs.

  • Analyze market data and spot trends to reduce risk.

  • Evaluate vehicle quality to get accurate values.

  • Convert inquiries at a high rate and stay profitable.

  • Guide customers through each step of the sale. You’re their single point of contact.

  • Help with individual and team projects, and follow up when they finish.

  • Multitask in a fast-paced environment and look for ways to improve processes.

What You’ll Bring

  • Up to 5 years of relevant experience.

  • Strong analytical skills and market research ability. You can judge vehicle value, demand, and pricing trends, and you work well with spreadsheets and CRMs.

  • Clear communication, strong customer service, and the ability to work across business units.

  • You pay close attention to detail, use sound judgment, and make quick decisions under pressure.

  • Auto auction experience as a used car buyer or in estimating vehicle damage is a plus.

Compensation and Benefits
Annual salary: $71,000 + OTE ($100,000 to $110,000)

Salary ranges come from independent, third-party benchmarking against national compensation data. Where an offer falls within the range depends on relevant experience, specialized skills, training and qualifications, current business needs, and market conditions. We review ranges periodically and may adjust them as the market changes.

  • Health, Vision, and Dental insurance

  • 401(k) plan

  • Equity

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Daily lunch and dinner stipend, plus a fully stocked kitchen

  • Dog-friendly office and on-site EV charging
