• Manage manufacturer and vendor relationships -- ensuring parts availability, warranty compliance, and program participation are optimized

• Partner closely with service management to align parts supply with service demand -- minimizing delays and keeping technicians productive

• Ensure compliance with all manufacturer parts programs, warranty processes, and return procedures

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of parts manager experience in a franchised dealership
