Parts Manager – Automotive & PowerSports

At Karl Malone Dealerships, we don’t just sell vehicles and parts — we deliver a world-class ownership experience. Our commitment to excellence, integrity, and customer satisfaction drives everything we do. We are seeking a driven, detail-focused, and hands-on Parts Manager to lead our Parts Department to the next level.

If you’re passionate about the automotive or powersports industry, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and take pride in running a sharp, profitable operation — this is your opportunity to lead and make an impact.

We’re Looking for Experience & Know-How

What that means:

You’ve successfully run or contributed to a high-performing parts department
You understand inventory, turns, and obsolescence — and how to control them
You know how to lead people, hold accountability, and build a strong team culture
You’re comfortable with DMS systems (Lightspeed, CDK, or similar) and daily operations
You know how to drive profit, not just process orders
You can step in immediately, take ownership, and make an impact

If you’re someone who knows the business, not just the job title, this is where you belong.

You’ll manage daily operations while developing your team, driving profitability, and ensuring seamless collaboration with Service and Sales.

The ideal candidate is a strong leader, highly organized, and experienced in parts operations with a mindset focused on efficiency, growth, and customer satisfaction.
