The team partners closely with Regional Directors (RDs), Zone Managers, Dealer Network Planning & Investments (DNPI), and Sales & Service leadership to align field operations, dealer performance, and network actions to support the Dealer Performance Process (DP2), advance key initiatives, and ensure long-term network health and attractive returns for GM’s dealer partners.

The Role

• Serve as an operational connector between Sales, Service, Parts, Motors Holding, and Dealer Policy, supporting adherence to key controls, documentation standards, and escalation paths.

• Act as a knowledgeable, credible resource to Zone Managers, District Managers, and Dealer Network Managers; participate in targeted dealer visits, POP Lite reviews, and DP2 meetings to translate data into clear priorities and actions and communicate professionally with dealer principals and executives.

• Develop and maintain concise reporting on DP2, network risk, and proactive activity for RDs, RMBO, and Sales Support leadership.

• Model GM behaviors and support collaboration between Sales Support, Brand, and Field teams, demonstrating integrity, transparency, resilience, and adaptability in complex dealer and market situations.
