Automotive Inventory & Vehicle Logistics Manager

Long-Lewis Auto Group is seeking an Automotive Inventory & Vehicle Logistics Manager to lead the processes that keep vehicles moving efficiently across our dealership group.

This is a hands-on leadership role overseeing vehicle transfers, inventory movement, driver operations, showroom support, and transfer workflows across multiple locations.

The transfer team understands expectations and consistently follows through.

Dealership leaders have clear visibility into vehicle locations and transfer status.

Driver schedules, paperwork, and tracking are organized and accurate.

Problems are identified and resolved before they become larger issues.

Processes continually improve rather than becoming more complicated.

You become the person the organization can rely on when something needs to get moved, solved, tracked, or done.

Why This Role Matters:

Every vehicle movement impacts our dealerships, inventory, sales teams, and customers. This position sits at the center of that operation and provides an opportunity to make a measurable impact through better organization, faster communication, stronger accountability, and smarter processes.
