River Valley is hiring a Marine Buyer & Consignment Specialist to work directly with private boat owners and fellow boating enthusiasts. Youll source, evaluate, consign, and sell used boats while building strong relationships in the boating community.

Marine technicians, service advisors, and boat sales professionals are strongly encouraged to apply.
Why This Role Stands Out
Your boat knowledge directly drives your income
Work independently with full dealership support
Strong inbound leads and established customer base
Deal directly with real boat ownersnot just online shoppers
Stay in the marine industry without turning wrenches all day
