Have you been thinking about getting into the automotive industry, but don't know where to start? Do you have a passion for customer service and problem solving? Are you looking to take the next step in your career with a Fortune 200 company?

APPLY NOW to join one of Automotive News' recently voted Best Dealerships to Work For in 2025!

At DCH Ford of Eatontown, we are dedicated to earning customers for life, taking personal ownership, improving constantly and having fun!

This isn't a typical sales role - we are a one car, one price store, so the traditional back and forth of price negotiations is not involved. As a Customer Experience Intern, you would primarily be responsible for ensuring a pleasant shopping experience for each and every one of our customers by understanding their needs and budget, matching their needs to a new or pre-owned vehicle, and guiding them along the purchase process through vehicle delivery. This is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door with the automotive industry and begin a strong career!

• Minimum 1-2 years in customer-facing retail, sales, hospitality, or similar roles
• Four-year Bachelor's Degree in business, marketing, or similar fields welcomed but not required
• Acceptable driving record and a valid driver's license in your state of residence

What You'll Do:

• Greet customers as they enter the showroom and offer assistance to understand their needs and present various vehicle options
• Maintain knowledge on current product offerings to adequately educate and guide customers through vehicle purchases
• Accompany customers on test drives to demonstrate vehicle features
• Complete vehicle delivery and serve as point of contact following purchase
• Uphold excellent customer service standard throughout shopping, purchase, and ownership processes

What We Can Offer You:

• Competitive, performance-based pay
