Description
About Carvana
At Carvana, we sell cars, but we are not salespeople. We have made it our mission to create a hassle-free way for people to buy and sell cars. We saw a huge problem with how much of a headache it is to buy a car the traditional way, so we committed ourselves to put customer satisfaction at the core of our business, we have built a no-pressure, no-haggle online car buying experience that saves our customers time and money. Customers can search through thousands of vehicles online, see full 360-degree views of both the interior and exterior of the vehicles before deciding to go through the purchasing process. Our Customer Advocates will then either deliver the purchased vehicle to our customer’s driveway using one of our kick-ass one car haulers, or they will meet our customers at one of our amazing coin-operated Vending Machines.

About this role
Carvana's Market Operations team in Minneapolis is looking for a leader who can manage the full spectrum of local operations—logistics, inventory, scheduling, paperwork, and team development—while staying flexible as priorities shift. You'd oversee multiple employees and handle everything from customer experience to community outreach, with direct access to leadership at the Phoenix headquarters. The role demands someone comfortable making autonomous decisions in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where you're expected to wear many hats and adapt quickly.

This is a hands-on position: you'll be on your feet for extended periods, driving frequently, lifting up to 50 pounds, and working outdoors. Strong people skills matter—you need to manage both employee and customer experience gracefully when things get complicated, and you should genuinely value diverse perspectives.
The salary range is $65,000 to $80,000 annually, with medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) match, wellness programs, and perks like vehicle discounts and student loan assistance.
