Original job description
LGM is a national leader in providing warranty, finance and insurance services to the Canadian automotive industry. Since 1998, LGM has partnered with leading automotive manufacturers and dealerships across Canada to deliver award-winning F&I solutions. As part of our next phase of growth, the SecureDrive brand is expanding rapidly nationally, offering a full suite of used-vehicle protection products that combine performance, technology, and dealer support.
The Opportunity
As a Dealer Development Manager for Edmonton and Northern Alberta, you will own a high-potential territory and be the face of LGM and SecureDrive with auto dealers in the province.
