International Trade Specialist jobs in Kentucky

Welcome to Dealer Trade Network, the vanguard of modern inventory solutions for franchise automotive dealers. With our origins rooted in Louisville, Kentucky, our impact resonates nationwide, as evidenced by our facilitation of tens of thousands of transactions across the United States. We’ve found a way to turn dealer data into actionable information that we use to facilitate dealer-to-dealer trades unlike anything else on the market. We analyze market trends down to the trim level and work with franchise dealerships to source additional inventory they need between deliveries from the factory. We can do this because we move distressed inventory out of dealer floorplans and into other markets. At Dealer Trade Network, we are driven to optimize every facet of the dealer's new car inventory process, catering to ever-changing market needs and redefining inventory management in the automotive landscape.
