Job Description — Finance Manager
Finance Manager | Murgado Automotive Group (Chicago)
Murgado Automotive Group is building something different. We're not looking for someone to sit in an office and wait for deals to arrive. We're looking for a Finance Manager who is part of the sales process from start to finish. When you're not with a customer, you're at the desk, in the showroom, or engaged digitally with the sales team. Your success is tied directly to their success. Every deal that converts is a deal you helped close.
Our model is built on Transparency and Velocity. By the time a customer reaches F&I, they've received real answers, real numbers, and real commitments from our sales team. The deal is structured. The customer is ready. Your job is to finalize the transaction, present products that genuinely protect them, and get them into their vehicle. Fast.

Position Overview
As Finance Manager, you are the final step in a process designed around speed and trust. You receive deals from the Desk, Floor, and Digital Sales Managers that have already been structured and committed. Your role is to secure financing, present protection products with integrity, and ensure every document is accurate and compliant.
But this is a high-performance culture. You don't wait in your office for the next customer. When you're not closing a deal, you're in the action: helping structure deals at the desk, engaging customers in the showroom, supporting digital opportunities, and working alongside the sales team to convert every opportunity. Your income depends on their success. Act like it.
We're launching a new store in Chicago and looking for a Finance Manager who wants to be part of a model where F&I is integrated, respected, and essential to the team's performance.
