About CDK Global, Inc 

Are you looking for an amazing opportunity to shape analytics for an industry, working with top Analytics talent and have access to one of the richest and most complete datasets in automotive retailing?   

CDK is the premier provider of Ecommerce, CRM (Customer Relationship Management Software) and DMS (Dealer Management Software) to the Automotive Industry.  We are one of the few companies who can analyze a consumer’s behavior online (using the Roadster Ecommerce platform) - then track the sales process they take to buy a car (using the Elead CRM platform) and finally understanding the financial aspects of the transaction (using the ‘Drive’ DMS platform).  Being able to track across these systems gives us access to unprecidented insights into the car-buying journey.
