About Carvana

Our mission is simple: we are changing the way people buy cars. We are the first 100% online car-buying experience, which means we have no sales team and no commission-based positions within our company. We are completely disrupting the auto industry by removing the painful process of the dealership experience and replacing it with a seamless and convenient online platform. Here at Carvana, we are passionate about delivering exceptional service to every customer! After purchasing a vehicle online, the customer can choose to have that vehicle delivered straight to their doorstep, or if they live near one of our awesome vending machines, they can pick it up there. One of our customer advocates will meet them with a BIG coin so they can experience our unique way of receiving their vehicle!

We're seeking a high-energy, strategic Training Team Lead to lead the development of our Sell To Carvana Advocate team—responsible for delivering exceptional customer experiences and precise document review.

This role also calls for strong people leadership, where you'll be responsible for elevating your team's performance—developing them into impactful trainers and preparing them to step into future leadership roles.

Success in this role requires strong interpersonal skills, mastery of adult learning principles, and a proven track record of growing talent. If you thrive on building future-ready teams and shaping high-performing, adaptable talent, we'd love to meet you.
