Parts Manager – Airport Kia (Full-Time)

📍 Greater Toronto Area (GTA)

🏢 Airport Kia

Airport Kia is a high-volume, growth-focused dealership in the GTA, representing one of the fastest-evolving brands in the automotive industry. With Kia’s expanding lineup—including ICE, hybrid, and EV models—our parts and service operations are a critical driver of overall dealership performance.

We are looking for a results-oriented Parts Manager who understands how to run a modern, efficient, and profit-driven parts department that supports both retail and fixed operations growth.

This is not a maintenance role — it’s a performance-driven leadership position. You will be responsible for optimizing inventory, improving fill rates, supporting service throughput, and building a scalable parts operation aligned with Kia’s continued growth in all segments.

• Lead and manage all aspects of the Parts Department operations
• Develop and execute inventory strategies aligned with service demand and sales growth
• Maintain optimal stock levels across ICE, hybrid, and EV parts categories
• Drive strong collaboration with Service to maximize technician efficiency and bay productivity
• Grow wholesale parts business with body shops and independent repair facilities
• Manage vendor/OEM relationships and ensure timely procurement
• Monitor pricing strategy, margins, and departmental profitability
• Train, develop, and hold team members accountable to performance standards
• Ensure clean processes for ordering, receiving, returns, and inventory accuracy

Success will be measured on:

• Inventory Turnover – Strong annual turns with balanced stock levels
• Fill Rate – High same-day and next-day availability
• Obsolescence Control – Active reduction and management of aged inventory
• Gross Profit Margin – Meeting or exceeding dealership targets
• Backorder Rate – Minimized through forecasting and planning
• Service Support Efficiency – Enabling technician productivity and reduced downtime
• Wholesale Growth – Expansion of external parts sales channels
• Inventory Accuracy – Tight control and audit performance

• Proven experience as a Parts Manager in a dealership environment (Kia or import brand experience is an asset)
• Strong understanding of high-volume parts operations and fixed ops integration
• Demonstrated ability to manage and improve KPIs
• Leadership mindset with the ability to build and manage a strong team
• Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Experience with dealership management systems (DMS)
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment

• High-growth dealership aligned with a rapidly expanding global brand
• Exposure to one of the industry’s most diverse product pipelines (gas, hybrid, EV)
• Opportunity to build and scale a best-in-class parts operation
• Performance-based compensation with strong upside
• Long-term career growth within a progressive dealer group
