Ready to be the go-to person for CDK system needs??
Capital Automotive Group is looking for a CDK Administrator who knows dealership systems inside and out and can confidently bridge the gap between technology, accounting, and dealership operations.
This is more than a “keep the DMS running” role. You’ll be a key resource for our dealerships and leadership team — managing CDK access and security, troubleshooting issues, supporting accounting and operations, working with vendors, and helping our stores get the most out of their systems. If you’re a CDK pro, problem-solver, systems thinker, and dealership person at heart, we want to talk to you!
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Administer and support CDK Drive across multiple dealership locations
-
Manage CDK user setup, permissions, security keys, and access
-
Partner with dealership accounting teams on general ledger, schedules, journal entries, and month-end close
-
Support system needs across Sales, F&I, Service, Parts, and Accounting
-
Troubleshoot CDK and DMS issues, identify root causes, and implement solutions
-
Document system changes, processes, and troubleshooting steps
-
Work closely with store leadership, corporate teams, CDK, and other technology vendors
-
Evaluate requests and determine the best solution — including knowing when to say “no” when a request creates unnecessary risk
-
Support reporting, integrations, data needs, and system functionality
-
Assist with DMS-related projects, including acquisitions, conversions, consolidations, and new-store implementations
-
Provide occasional after-hours and month-end support when system issues or close requirements demand it
-
Travel to Capital locations as needed
What We’re Looking For:
Required:
-
3+ years of hands-on CDK Drive experience in a dealership or dealer group environment
-
Strong working knowledge of dealership accounting and month-end processes
-
Experience with CDK user setup and security key administration
-
Solid understanding of dealership operations across Sales, F&I, Service, Parts, and Accounting
-
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
-
Ability to understand both department needs AND system capabilities
-
Excellent documentation and follow-through
-
Professional communication skills and the confidence to work with everyone from dealership teams to corporate leadership and vendors
-
Valid driver's license and ability to travel between locations
-
Flexibility to provide occasional after-hours and month-end support
Even Better If You Have:
-
Multi-rooftop or dealer group CDK administration experience
-
CDK certifications or completed CDK training programs
-
Experience with CDK Fortellis, 3PA integrations, APIs, or DMS data extraction
-
Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or other reporting/BI tools
-
DMS conversion, acquisition, or dealership consolidation experience
-
SQL or comparable query/reporting experience
-
Familiarity with the FTC Safeguards Rule in a dealership environment
-
Experience supporting multiple OEM franchises
