  • 4–5+ years of leadership experience in automotive, tire, service, retail operations, logistics, or similar fast-paced settings
  • Confidence leading hourly staff in a high-volume environment
  • A visible, energetic leadership style — someone present on the floor, not behind a desk
  • Ability to coach, set expectations, and address performance concerns tactfully
  • Strong customer service instincts
  • Experience using common shop or point-of-sale software
  • Strong organizational habits and awareness of what's happening across the facility

Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Working in a tire, auto service, or dealership service environment
  • Exposure to estimating, workflow coordination, or service counter operations
  • Any business, operations, or leadership training/certifications

  • Benefits: Group benefits
  • Retirement: Employer-matched pension program
  • Training: Supportive onboarding and ongoing training
  • Stability: Opportunity to grow with an established, multi-location organization

You'll Succeed Here If You Are…

  • Someone who naturally builds rapport with frontline teams
  • Comfortable balancing coaching with accountability
  • Motivated, energetic, and visible throughout the workday
  • Able to juggle multiple moving parts without losing track
  • Committed to maintaining high standards of safety and service

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: $70,000.00-$80,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Disability insurance
  • Extended health care
  • Paid time off

Application question(s):

  • This role requires checking in across multiple work zones. Have you worked in an environment where you were frequently on your feet and involved in several areas at once?
