Our story began humbly in 1946, with the opening of a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge store across from Lithia Springs Park in Ashland, Oregon. Fifty years later, in 1996, after opening a few additional stores and training a talented team of leaders, our CEO decided the best way to give new opportunities to this incredible team was to join the public stock exchange. That’s when our mission of “Growth Powered by People” took off. Today, Lithia & Driveway is one of the nation’s fastest-growing automotive retailers and listed as 145 on the Fortune 500 (NYSE: LAD). We own more than 300 stores supporting over 50 automotive brands and provide job opportunities for more than 20,000 people. As Lithia & Driveway continues to grow, our success is fueled by the collective efforts, skills, and contributions of our people. We stand by our core values of taking personal ownership, improving constantly, earning customers for life and having fun in the process. Our high-performance culture keeps one focus in mind, making the customer experience better, as we aim to meet customers wherever, whenever, and however they desire. We offer a variety of opportunities across our hundreds of stores in the US, UK, and Canada; our Driveway, GreenCars, Driveway Finance Corporation brands as well as our home office. With positions in Sales, Service, Corporate, and Finance, we believe you’ll roll into the perfect spot at Lithia & Driveway. Join us as we continue to innovate and exceed our potential and our customers’ expectations. Lithia & Driveway is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.
