The Role

Reporting to the Midwest Regional Manager, you will join a team of about eight Credit Buyers who are part of the larger Credit & Funding group. The group supports Honda and Acura dealers throughout the Midwest, and you will work with dealers within an assigned territory. Quick question for you - click here

You will assume responsibility for approving or denying credit applications, following purchase policy guidelines. This will include underwriting business, evaluating credit and making sound decisions. Most of your work will be conducted over the phone and via email, and you'll spend the majority of your day at your computer.

You'll play a critical role in helping AHFC establish and maintain good relationships with our dealers and our customers. This role will put you in regular contact with key dealership personnel, such as Business Managers and others.

Major areas of responsibility will include:
  • Making credit decisions
  • Maintaining dealer relations and making timely call-backs
  • Assisting in management and development of the Discounting Department
Note: this description is intended to give you a general overview of the position and is not an exhaustive listing of duties and responsibilities.

For example, with an exterior that is both sporty and refined, the 2017 Honda Pilot (above) is redefining the modern family SUV. The 2017 Acura NSX (below) was engineered to be the perfect balance of power and handling, form and function, sport and luxury.

What's in It for You

Setting you up for success
We'll take a proactive approach to ensuring that you get off to a great start, laying the foundation for a long and mutually beneficial relationship between AHFC and you. We'll provide the tools you need and help you establish solid internal connections. The regional management team will provide hands-on coaching and training as you get up to speed.
​
Keeping your skills honed
Even if you bring experience as a Credit Buyer, there will be opportunities to learn and grow. In addition to providing one-on-one coaching, we offer training sessions to help employees stay one step ahead. AHFC offers extensive leadership and management skill development programs.

Career options
We hire with an eye to the future, and this role will provide you with valuable insight into our operations. Excel in this role and, down the road, you might set your sights on a supervisory or other leadership position here in the Midwest regional offices. You might also chart a career path into sales.

Stability and growth
AHFC reported $6.9 billion in revenue in fiscal 2016 (ended March 31, 2106), up 8% over 2015, and we maintain excellent credit ratings. Ratings and outlook for Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and its supported subsidiaries, including AHFC, are A1/A+ Stable (S&P) and P1/A1 Negative (Moody's). While AHFC supports approximately 3.3 million customers, we maintain high underwriting standards that are reflected in low charge-off and delinquency numbers year after year. And, of course, we are backed by Honda Motor Co., Ltd., in Japan, with 2016 revenues at more than $146 billion.

Great environment
Being a Honda associate means collaborating as a team, while never forgetting that true teamwork requires respect for the individual. We believe the smartest ideas should always triumph, no matter whose they are.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary and bonus potential, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes a 401(k) match; medical, dental, and vision plans; and much more. In addition, you can take advantage of great prices with our associate lease plans. We also offer a strong relocation package for highly qualified candidates.

Pictured: Cars and SUVs are just the beginning. AHFC provides attractive financing programs and you'll support dealers of Honda motorcycles, generators, marine engines, and other products.

Keys to Success

To excel in this role you should be proactive about learning and hitting your stride quickly. Once up to speed, you should be a "lifelong learner" and remain open to coaching and keeping up with changes. While there will be some gray areas, for the most part you will follow established guidelines for evaluating credit applications. Attention to detail will be essential.

It's important enough that it bears repeating: you'll need a strong service mindset and a knack for building relationships. There will be times when you have to deny a credit application, and having existing relationships will make those conversations easier. In addition, our best Credit Buyers have:
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Financial acumen
  • Solid decision-making abilities
  • A results orientation
