Compensation

The Specialist I, Procure & Post (P&P), performs operational activities supporting the P&P Expense organization, including timely, complete, and accurate requisitioning, ordering, transaction processing, documentation, and exception follow-up.

Onsite presence (as needed): While this is a hybrid role, team members are expected to be able to work from designated Cox/Manheim locations when requested due to business needs, including operational events, auction support, and “Moments That Matter” engagement activities. This expectation is not based on a fixed cadence; it will be communicated as needed.

Approved Hybrid Manheim locations are: Mt Juliet, TN, Euless TX, Dallas, TX, Matteson, IL

The position will initially provide primary support to ETA operations, including routine exception management, shared mailbox support, research and follow-up, documentation, and coordination with auctions, suppliers, and internal business partners.

As business needs evolve, the Specialist I may be cross-trained and assigned to additional Expense processes, providing flexibility and operational support across the broader P&P Expense organization.

This keeps the core of the original role, which includes P&P requisitioning and transaction processing, ordering, requisition/invoice workflow, service-level performance, audits, and special assignments.
