About Bidbus:
Bidbus is a private-seller automotive marketplace connecting everyday vehicle owners with licensed dealers through a controlled auction process. Once bidding ends, the real work begins. This role sits squarely in that post-auction window where deals are either finalized or fall apart. Your job is to make sure they close.
Role Overview:
The Post-Sale Coordinator is responsible for helping convert winning bids into completed vehicle transactions. You’ll assist with appraisals, manage post-sale negotiations, and work directly with both private sellers and dealers to resolve last-mile issues and lock deals.
This role is ideal for someone with wholesale or dealership experience who understands vehicle values, market conditions, and how deals actually get done.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist with vehicle appraisals and value clarification post-auction
- Conduct post-sale negotiations between private sellers and dealers
- Review and address condition questions, recon concerns, or pricing adjustments
- Use market data and wholesale knowledge to support deal conversations
- Help finalize agreed pricing, terms, and next steps
- Coordinate transaction flow including paperwork, payment, and vehicle handoff
- Maintain accurate deal notes and status updates in internal systems
- Act as a professional intermediary to keep deals moving forward
What Success Looks Like:

Qualifications:
- Prior automotive wholesale experience required

- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple deals simultaneously
- Calm under pressure and capable of de-escalating tense situations
Why This Role Matters:
