Grow Your Career at CarData
There isn’t just one way to build a career at CarData.
Our Field Service Representatives are the core of our company. They are the people inside our dealership partners every day, producing the work our clients depend on and representing CarData in the field.
For some team members, success means becoming an experienced, high-performing Field Service Representative and maximizing their commission earnings. Others may prefer flexible, part-time photography work, or the consistency and variety of an hourly Field Operations role. And some team members eventually choose to pursue management, sales and market leadership.
One path isn’t better than another. The right path depends on your strengths, goals and the type of work you enjoy.
Field Service Careers
The work our clients see every day. These are the roles where CarData careers are built, and team members can move between them as opportunities open.
Our Core Field Career
Field Service Representative
Field Service Representatives (FSRs) are Automotive Photographers who manage assigned dealership routes and are responsible for consistently servicing their accounts.
- Assigned dealerships and service route
- Commission-based compensation — earn based on the work you produce
- Build long-term relationships with dealership clients
- Responsible for vehicle photography and other assigned inventory services
- Maintain CarData’s standards for quality, completion and customer service
- Opportunity to increase earnings as production and route opportunities grow
- Experienced FSRs can build a long-term career in the field without having to become managers
For people who enjoy independence, production-based earnings and working directly with dealerships, the FSR position can be one of the best career opportunities at CarData.
↕ Team members can move between these field roles as opportunities open
Flexible Field Photography
Assistant Automotive Photographer
Assistant Automotive Photographers (APs) do the same field work as our Field Service Representatives — vehicle photography and dealership inventory services — without a permanently assigned route. It is typically a part-time position with a flexible schedule.
- Commission-based pay for every vehicle photographed
- No assigned route
- Typically part time, with a flexible schedule
- The same photography and inventory work our Field Service Representatives perform
- Work across different dealerships depending on where help is needed
- Fits around school, family or other commitments
A flexible schedule doesn’t have to mean lower earnings. Like our FSRs, APs are paid for the work they produce.
APs who want a consistent, dedicated set of dealerships can pursue an assigned FSR route when one becomes available.
Flexible Field Support
Field Operations Assistant
Field Operations Assistants (FOAs) perform many of the same field services as our Field Service Representatives, but they operate differently. Instead of managing a permanent dealership route, FOAs provide flexible support wherever the market needs them.
- $17 per hour
- No permanent assigned route
- Vehicle photography and dealership inventory services
- Cover routes when Field Service Representatives are unavailable
- Assist with additional dealership work and changing market needs
- Perform dealership Lot Audits
- Work across multiple dealerships and routes
- Gain experience with different accounts, processes and areas of the market
The FOA position is a great fit for someone who wants steady hourly compensation, variety in their work and exposure to multiple parts of CarData’s field operation.
FOAs may choose to remain in Field Operations, pursue an assigned commission-based FSR route when an opportunity becomes available, or develop toward future leadership opportunities.
Leadership & Market Growth
For team members who want to lead
Some team members discover that their strengths are in coaching people, solving operational problems, building dealership relationships and growing a market. For those team members, CarData offers opportunities to move into leadership.
Market Assistant Manager
- Hourly compensation with bonus opportunities
- Supports Field Service Representatives and Field Operations Assistants
- Helps manage market coverage and daily operations
- Develops dealership relationships
- Assists with training and team development
- Supports sales and market growth
- Builds the skills necessary to potentially manage a CarData market
Market Sales Manager
- Responsible for the overall success of a CarData market
- Leads the local field team
- Maintains and grows dealership relationships
- Responsible for customer retention and market growth
- Develops new dealership business
- Makes operational decisions for the market
- Compensation includes salary and performance-based incentives
Market leadership is a different type of career opportunity — not simply the next level after being an FSR. Some of our strongest Field Service Representatives may choose to remain in the field because they enjoy the independence, commission structure and earning opportunity. Others may decide that leading people and growing a market better fits their long-term goals.
