Ownership Mindset + Operational Excellence + Real Growth Opportunity = A Career-Defining Role

This is a rare opportunity to step into a newly created, high impact leadership position at a rapidly growing independent dealership.

Northside Auto is building toward an ambitious 3-year vision, and we’re looking for a turn-key, experienced Parts & Recon Manager who can own the entire reconditioning lifecycle (NOT just parts management) — from intake to frontline ready — and scale with us.

We currently retail 30–50 vehicles per month and are intentionally building the infrastructure to support 75+ units per month while maintaining quality, speed, and profitability.

This Is THE Opportunity You’ve Been Looking For If…

You’re highly experienced in used vehicle reconditioning, parts management, and service operations

You thrive in process, accountability, and KPIs

You want real authority and ownership, not just a title

You’re tired of being under-resourced and under-supported

You want to build something the right way — with leadership that invests in people, tools, and systems
