Finance Sales Specialists - Automotive

AUTO1 Group is growing and establishing a new role in the Swedish market – for those who want to start a new project and drive our growth. If you love sales, have an economic business sense and want to be part of a leading tech company that is changing the car industry – then this is your role!

AUTO1 Group is Europe’s leading digital platform for the car industry. We build the best way to buy and sell cars online. Our local brand, Viköperdinbil.se, offers our customers the fastest and easiest way to sell a car. Our brand AUTO1.com is Europe’s largest B2B platform for car dealers. Through our brand Autohero, we use our experiences to build the best customer experience when buying a car online. We are currently in over 30 markets and had a turnover of over 6.3 billion euros in 2024.

Our financing product for our car dealers is already established in many countries within the group. Now we are looking for someone who wants to take ownership of the launch and accelerate the breakthrough in the Swedish market. As a Finance Sales Specialist, you are the hub between sales, finance, and operations: you activate dealers, analyze credits, and drive implementation from the first pitch to recurring use. The role combines active sales, commercial consulting, and process implementation in collaboration with our European colleagues who have already established the setup.

You will work both through phone, video meetings, and physical customer visits – the setup we will create together to achieve the best possible results for our market.

Your responsibilities include:

• Driving the use of our financing product in Sweden based on the group’s proven working methods.
• Prospecting, pitching, negotiating, and closing deals with car dealers.
• Making initial credit assessments and qualifications: interpreting balance sheets/annual reports, understanding balance sheets and income statements, cash flow, key figures, and leverage.
• Analyzing sales pipeline and portfolio data; report development towards goals such as activated dealers, utilization rate, and customer satisfaction.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is self-driven and likes to be all the way – from building something new to following up and developing further.
• Has experience in customer contact within finance, such as corporate loans, leasing, factoring, or banking (or alternatively strong sales background with a financial understanding).
• Speaks the language of finance and is confident in using various terms.
• Is relationship-building, trustworthy, and consultative with a focus on customer value and long-term sustainability.
• Is data-driven and familiar with Google Sheets.
• Speaks and writes Swedish fluently and has good English.
• Has experience from the car industry or dealer financing, this is a big plus, but not a requirement.

Great importance will be placed on personal suitability. If you have a great interest in cars and are driven by creating good customer relationships – do not hesitate to send in your application!

What we offer:

• A stable base salary and a proven bonus model. When you achieve your goals, the bonus corresponds to approximately 40% in addition to your fixed salary – providing a competitive total compensation.
• A self-reliant and responsible role in a listed tech company where you get to own your market and your business.
• A dynamic, international workplace with both national and European projects and development opportunities.
• A stimulating office in an open landscape with a view of Lake Mälaren, lounge with ping-pong/FIFA, and good opportunities to get to know colleagues across departmental boundaries.
• Health care contributions, nice perks, and extensive company discounts at, among other things, gyms and hotels.

Working conditions:

• Full-time, 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday during office hours.
• Location: The headquarters in Alvik Strand, Stockholm (approximately 10 minutes from the city).
• Appointment: Immediate or as agreed.

If you see challenges as opportunities, this is the place for you.

We never settle, we challenge and question everything, constantly looking for improvement and new opportunities. As an international team, flat hierarchies and fast decisions are our key ingredients.

Last but not least, something that our employees at AUTO1 know very well is that growth brings constant change – which means that new challenges arise.

You will experience a steep learning curve by working on projects at scale and thus having real impact, all while benefiting from the stability of our proven business model.
