Description
Mercedes-Benz | Sprinter Van | Luxury & Hospitality | B2B | Vancouver, WA
Behind every great service operation is a parts department that runs like clockwork. As our founding Parts Manager, you'll build the systems, supplier relationships, and inventory strategies that power our service team and keep our clients' vehicles on the road.
This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced parts professional who wants to make their mark at a brand-new Mercedes-Benz facility.
ABOUT MERCEDES-BENZ VAN CENTER OF VANCOUVER
The Mercedes-Benz Van Center of Vancouver is a brand-new, dedicated Sprinter Van Center opening in August 2026 in the heart of the Vancouver/Portland metro area. We are not just another dealership — we are a purpose-built facility focused exclusively on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, serving businesses, commercial fleets, adventure enthusiasts, and hospitality partners across the Pacific Northwest.
This is a rare ground-floor opportunity. You won't be inheriting someone else's culture or fitting into an existing mold — you'll be helping to build it. We believe that exceptional hospitality isn't just for guests; it starts with how we treat each other and every person who walks through our doors.
At our Van Center, hospitality is a core value — not a department. Every team member plays a role in delivering an experience that is warm, professional, and genuinely different from anything in our market.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Establish and manage all parts department operations from pre-opening through launch and ongoing
Develop and maintain optimal inventory levels to support service department needs while managing carrying costs
Build strong relationships with Mercedes-Benz parts distribution network and secondary suppliers
Manage parts ordering, receiving, storage, and return processes with accuracy and efficiency
Support wholesale parts opportunities with commercial fleet and B2B clients in our market
Collaborate daily with the Service Manager and technicians to ensure parts availability minimizes repair cycle time
Monitor parts department financial performance including gross profit, inventory turns, and obsolescence
Ensure compliance with Mercedes-Benz parts standards, programs, and reporting requirements
Lead, train, and develop the parts team as the department grows
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
3+ years of automotive parts management experience, dealership experience strongly preferred
Familiarity with Mercedes-Benz or European vehicle parts a significant advantage
Strong inventory management skills and analytical mindset
Experience with Dealer Management Systems (CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, or similar)
Wholesale parts experience or interest in developing wholesale business a plus
Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Detail-oriented with strong organizational abilities
Valid driver's license with clean record
COMPENSATION & STRUCTURE
Competitive base salary plus parts department performance bonus
Opportunity to build and shape a department from the ground floor
