6. Ensure optimal inventory levels and implement standardized practices for tracking, auditing, and replenishing stock.
7. Oversee the development and rollout of inventory management systems and ensure proper staff training.
8. Analyze inventory data across all facilities to identify trends, inefficiencies, or improvement opportunities.
9. Establish and manage national vendor relationships, negotiate pricing terms and service agreements to achieve cost efficiency.
10. Evaluate and onboard new suppliers, ensuring they meet quality and compliance standards.
11. Work closely with Service, Sales, and Operations teams to align parts availability with service requirements.
12. Collaborate with Finance to develop and manage parts budgets, ensuring compliance with financial targets.
13. Regularly monitor and report on key performance metrics (inventory turnover, parts availability, supplier performance, etc.).
14. Present national-level performance reports and improvement plans to senior leadership.

What We're Looking For

1. Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field (MBA preferred).
2. 8 years of experience in parts management, logistics, or supply chain operations, with at least 3 years in a multi-location leadership role.
3. Strong knowledge of inventory management systems (ERP/MRP systems).
4. Proven negotiation, vendor management, and contract management skills.
5. Demonstrated success in leading teams and driving process improvements at scale.
