Description
Position at Autocar Parts, LLC
Do you want to be a strategic sourcing DIRECTOR at Autocar parts?
Can you be comfortable being uncomfortable? Do you want to join an organization where your ideas and voice matters? Can you do 2 or 3 jobs instead of only one? Are you fine with always speaking your mind? Can you lead, execute, and stay focused despite many distractions, and do the work yourself if needed?
At Autocar Parts, we are a national aftermarket parts distributor that fights for the customer's needs. We know truck parts and put the customers' needs first to help customers keep their trucks rolling.
It takes a special kind of person to be a part of this business in transformation. We are privately owned and expect our team members to act with an owner mindset: Relentless about creating value for the customer. Dogged about finding efficiencies and eliminating waste. Standing arm and arm with the rest of the team until the job is done-and ready to do it again the next day, with a smile.
It is not easy to do things differently in this industry. But we do it-because we are passionate about improving the lives of the drivers that use our trucks.
