THIS ROLE IS FOR A PRODUCERLet's be clear about what we're looking for.
We don't need someone who just forwards credit applications to lenders and hopes for an approval.
We want someone who can look at a challenging credit file, understand the customer's situation, identify the right lender, structure an approval and turn that opportunity into a funded delivery.
Someone who understands that
an approval isn't a sale, a signed deal isn't a delivery, and a delivery isn't complete until the deal is properly funded.
At DRIVEN, we value Finance Managers who take ownership of their business, follow through on their commitments and consistently deliver results.
But we also understand that even the best producers benefit from strong leadership.
Our senior management team is here to work alongside you, share decades of combined industry experience, help you navigate challenging deals and provide the ongoing coaching and support needed to take your performance to the next level.
If you know how to produce, we want to give you the tools, opportunities and support to earn what you're capable of.
YOUR NEXT MOVE COULD BE YOUR BEST ONEMaybe you're already producing strong numbers, but you're limited by the number of leads coming through the door.
Maybe your lender network isn't giving you enough options.
Maybe you're working hard but don't have access to experienced management that can help you structure more deals, overcome challenges and improve your results.
Or maybe you simply don't see a clear path to bigger earnings or career advancement.
That's where DRIVEN comes in.
We're building an ambitious automotive company with plans to expand across Ontario, and we want experienced people who can grow with us.
We believe in recognizing performance, investing in our people and providing the coaching, resources and leadership needed to create long‑term success.
We're not interested in simply filling another position.
We're looking for someone who can become an important part of our future.
The leads are here. The lenders are here. The leadership is here. The opportunity is yours.
