Build it. Scale it. Own it.

We're looking for a high-impact Parts Manager to take ownership of a multi-location parts business with significant untapped growth.
This is not a "keep things running" role—this is a

build, optimize, and scale

opportunity for someone who thinks like an owner and leads from the front. You'll operate as the business leader for parts—driving performance across sales, operations, inventory, and customer experience—while partnering across service and equipment teams to create a seamless, best-in-class operation.

What You'll Own
Leadership & Culture
Lead inside sales, outside sales, and warehouse teams across multiple locations
Build a high-accountability, performance-driven culture
Coach, develop, and elevate talent at every level

Growth & Market Impact
Identify and execute growth opportunities across pricing, product mix, and customer segments
Actively engage the market—customers, vendors, and team—to drive revenue
Bring a proactive, entrepreneurial approach to expanding the business

Operations & Inventory Excellence
Own inventory performance: turns, accuracy, availability, and obsolescence
Optimize stocking strategy and enforce disciplined processes
Improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency across locations

Business Ownership
Own revenue, margins, expenses, and inventory investment
Track and manage KPIs with a continuous improvement mindset
Make data-driven decisions that drive profitability and growth

Customer Experience
Deliver fast, accurate, and reliable parts support
Build strong customer relationships and trust
Champion a people-first, customer-first culture

What We're Looking For
5–10+ years in parts, distribution, or supply chain leadership
Experience in HVAC, mechanical, or industrial distribution strongly preferred
Proven track record of driving growth, improving operations, and leading teams
Strong business acumen (pricing, margins, inventory, KPIs)
Hands-on, player-coach mentality—you lead from the floor, not just the office
Self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset and bias for action

What Success Looks Like
Consistent sales and margin growth
A high-performing, accountable, and engaged team
Best-in-class customer experience across all locations
A parts operation that runs like a business—not just a support function

Why This Role
High visibility with real influence on the business
Opportunity to build and scale something meaningful
Autonomy to lead—not just manage
Performance-driven culture that rewards results
Competitive compensation + incentives tied to impact

Ready to Build Something?

If you're a driven leader who knows parts, understands distribution, and wants to

own, grow, and scale a business —we should talk.
