- Clear, professional communication with customers and coworkers.
- The ability to manage several open tasks, prioritize deadlines, and work independently.
- Sound judgment and patience when handling customer complaints or sensitive information.
- Automotive dealership, service department, warranty, or claims experience is preferred, but strong administrative experience will also be considered.
