That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.

Land Rover San Francisco is one of the most recognized luxury automotive destinations in the country -- a high-volume, award-winning store in the heart of downtown San Francisco with a loyal, high-net-worth guest base and the kind of brand presence that defines a market.

• A leadership approach built on clarity, high standards, and genuine investment in the people you lead
• Deep understanding of high-net-worth luxury buyer expectations and the competitive San Francisco automotive market
• Experience managing the operational complexity of a high-volume urban luxury store -- parking, logistics, urban service operations, and the demands of a downtown San Francisco location

WHAT WE OFFER

• OTE of $180,000 - $300,000+/yr
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Career growth -- strong GMs at Swickard grow into platform director and multi-store executive leadership roles
