Primeritus Financial Services is a national provider of repossession management, remarketing, titled, and skip tracing services to the automotive finance industry throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Through our national network, technology, and industry expertise, we help lenders maximize recovery values while delivering exceptional client service.
Position Summary
The Director, Strategic Sales is responsible for driving new business growth for Primeritus' repossession-related (“forwarding”) services nationwide. This is a true hunter role focused on developing new relationships with automotive lenders, captive finance companies, banks and large credit unions seeking outsourced vehicle repossession, skip and remarketing technology and services.
Unlike traditional territory sales positions, this role owns a national market and is expected to identify, pursue, and close high-value opportunities regardless of geography.
Success in this role requires an entrepreneurial mindset, strong existing industry relationships, disciplined time management, and the ability to focus on activities that produce meaningful revenue. The ideal candidate is energized by building new business, comfortable working independently, and motivated by an uncapped commission opportunity tied directly to results. This is a full-time, remote role based in the U.S.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute a national business development strategy to grow Primeritus' forwarding business.
- Identify, qualify, and close new opportunities with automotive finance companies, banks and large credit unions.
- Develop relationships that expand Primeritus' forwarding business.
- Build and maintain a robust pipeline of high-value opportunities using networking, referrals, industry events, and proactive prospecting.
- Leverage existing relationships within the automotive finance industry to accelerate new client acquisition.
- Manage the complete sales cycle from prospecting through contract execution and implementation.
- Conduct discovery meetings to understand client objectives and recommend customized remarketing solutions.
- Collaborate with Operations, Client Services, Technology, and Executive Leadership to ensure successful implementation of new business.
- Develop compelling presentations, financial models, and proposals that clearly demonstrate client value and return on investment.
- Maintain accurate forecasting, pipeline reporting, and CRM updates.
- Stay informed on market trends, auction performance, competitive activity, and emerging opportunities within automotive finance, collections and recoveries.
- Represent Primeritus at industry conferences, trade associations, and customer events.
- Travel as necessary to cultivate strategic relationships and close business (approximately 40-60%).
What Success Looks Like
Successful candidates consistently focus on outcomes rather than activity. They understand that one strategic relationship can be more valuable than dozens of sales calls and prioritize their time accordingly:
- Pursuing large, strategic opportunities rather than simply staying busy.
- Building trusted relationships with senior decision makers.
- Investing their time where the potential return is greatest.
- Working independently with minimal supervision.
- Demonstrating urgency, persistence, and accountability.
- Viewing commission as an opportunity rather than a risk.
Qualifications Required

- Proven success selling into the automotive finance, remarketing, auction, or related automotive industries.
- Existing relationships with automotive lenders, captive finance companies, banks and large credit unions.
