IS THIS YOU?

You have dealership inventory experience and you understand what it takes to keep a lot organized, accurate, and market-ready at all times

You're detail-oriented, operationally sharp, and comfortable working across systems, vendors, and internal teams to keep inventory flowing without disruption

You're excited by the opportunity to be part of something new -- a ground-up commercial vehicle operation built around the world's most in-demand van platform

WHO WE ARE

Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.

The Mercedes-Benz Van Center of Vancouver is Swickard's first dedicated Sprinter van operation -- a ground-up commercial vehicle center specializing exclusively in Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van sales, service, and fleet solutions. Opening in August 2026, this store is built for the commercial buyer: contractors, fleet operators, last-mile delivery companies, and businesses that depend on the Sprinter platform to get work done. The Inventory Manager is a founding team member -- stepping in at the beginning and building the inventory function from the ground up.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Manage all Sprinter van inventory -- new units, pre-owned vehicles, and upfitted stock -- ensuring accurate records, proper titling, and a lot that is organized and market-ready at all times

Coordinate incoming vehicle deliveries -- receiving, inspecting, and processing new Sprinter inventory from transport and OEM allocation

Maintain accurate inventory records in the DMS -- vehicle status, location, configuration, pricing, and availability updated in real time

Monitor inventory aging, turn rates, and lot mix -- surfacing insights to sales and leadership to support pricing and acquisition decisions

Support fleet and commercial account operations -- coordinating inventory availability and delivery timelines for fleet clients and upfitter partners

Manage title and registration documentation for all inventory -- ensuring clean title flow and compliance with Washington state requirements

Coordinate with the service department on pre-delivery inspections, upfit scheduling, and reconditioning workflow for incoming stock

Assist with auction activity, trade-in processing, and pre-owned vehicle acquisition as directed

Support the build-out of inventory processes, SOPs, and systems as a founding team member of a new operation

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

2+ years of inventory, title, or lot operations experience at a franchised dealership -- required

Mercedes-Benz or luxury brand dealership experience preferred -- familiarity with MBZ inventory systems and OEM processes is a significant advantage

Commercial vehicle or fleet operations experience a strong plus -- understanding of Sprinter configurations, upfit coordination, and fleet account logistics is highly valued

Strong DMS proficiency -- Reynolds & Reynolds or CDK experience preferred

Highly organized and detail-oriented -- inventory accuracy is non-negotiable and you hold yourself to that standard

Comfortable building processes from scratch -- this is a new operation and the Inventory Manager will help define how things work from the start

Clear communicator who works effectively across sales, service, and external vendors

Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
