Roper Kia is a locally owned dealership in Joplin, MO with a growing team of 75–90 employees. We are looking for a tenacious, critical-thinking Title Clerk to own our titling department and join our fast-paced business office team.

Overview

Because of our unique location in Joplin, we routinely handle vehicle titling across four different states daily (MO, KS, OK, AR). This isn't just a data-entry job; we need a tenacious, critical thinking, problem solver. The ideal candidate is someone who prides themselves on absolute accuracy, loves the challenge of perfectly organized legal paperwork, and possesses the grit to hunt down missing documents to keep our deals moving.

At Roper Kia, we believe in a team-first culture. While you will completely own the title desk, you’ll also collaborate closely with the rest of our office family to keep the dealership running smoothly.
