High-Volume Sourcing: Actively scout and buy targeted pre-owned inventory utilizing digital wholesale networks, online auctions (Openlane/Adesa, Otolane, Eblock etc.), dealer trades, and digital private-party channels.
Data-Driven Appraisal: Utilize live market pricing software (vAuto / Provision) to accurately assess local market velocity, days-to-turn, and supply metrics specifically within the Greater Toronto Area.
Profitability Targeting: Fact-check appraisal metrics against estimated mechanical, structural, and cosmetic reconditioning costs to maximize front-end gross profit margins.
Pipeline Management: Maintain an exceptional pace and volume to secure continuous inventory flow across designated acquisition streams.
Logistics Liaison: Coordinate with transport and service teams to ensure acquired vehicles arrive at their destination efficiently and are processed smoothly into reconditioning.
Licensing & Compliance: Must possess a valid, active OMVIC Certification in good standing.
Driving Record: Must have a valid Ontario Driver’s License with a clean driving abstract (abstract will be verified).
Automotive Background: Minimum 2 to 3+ years of experience in high-volume automotive vehicle appraisal, wholesale buying, or as a senior used vehicle acquisition specialist.
Platform Expertise: Deep, current proficiency with digital Canadian auction platforms (TradeRev, Openlane, etc.) and market valuation tools (vAuto, Canadian Black Book).
The "Urban Eye": Strong understanding of changing consumer demand trends in the Toronto market (e.g., high-velocity compacts, crossovers, hybrids, and urban luxury segments).
Salary Range: $75,000 - $105,000 CAD / year (Structured as a competitive base salary plus high-volume milestone performance bonuses).
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits plan.
