job description

Finance Manager (F&I) — Don Wood Ford Lincoln | Athens, Ohio

Most F&I job postings promise "competitive pay" and "great culture." This one tells you exactly what you're walking into.

The Opportunity

One office. One chair. Over 60 retail deliveries a month.

No rotation. No splitting deals. No waiting for your turn.

This is a high-volume Ford dealership with an established customer base, strong management support, and an F&I office built to perform. It's demanding work—but it's also the reason this opportunity pays at the level it does.

You'll have access to Ford Credit, a deep bench of credit unions, and lender relationships we've built over more than 40 years. Our all-in PVR expectation is $2,000, and the entire dealership is committed to helping you achieve it.

The Pay

We're not posting our pay plan online for every competing dealer in southeast Ohio to read.

Instead, we'll put it in your hands during our first meeting. The plan you review is the plan you sign.

No hidden packs.
No earnings cap.
No rewriting the rules after your biggest year.

With 60+ monthly deliveries, this office consistently generates six figures in monthly F&I gross. If you've successfully managed a franchise F&I department before, you already understand what that can mean.

The Schedule

Five-day work week.

Closed every Sunday—and we have been since opening our doors in 1985.

We believe people should work hard while they're here and still have time for their families. That's part of our culture, not a recruiting slogan.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced franchise dealership Finance Manager—not someone looking to learn the role.

You should be someone who:

  • Knows how to maximize opportunity while maintaining complete compliance.

  • Presents a professional menu to every customer, every time.

  • Builds trust while protecting gross.

  • Takes pride in doing things the right way.

  • Wants to be part of a team that values integrity as much as performance.

Skill, character, and consistency matter here.

Growth Opportunity

Don Wood Automotive has been family-owned for more than 40 years and is now led by three generations working together every day.

With six dealerships and continued growth, advancement isn't just possible—it's expected. As leadership opportunities become available, we promote from within whenever we can.

Today's Finance Manager can become tomorrow's Finance Director.

• You’re paid a guaranteed weekly draw while you get up to speed — with extra protection for new hires during your first stretch. You earn from day one instead of waiting months for a paycheck.
