Branch Parts Manager – Christies Beach (Ford & KGM)
Wayne Phillis Automotive | Award-winning dealer | Leadership with impact
Step up. Stand out. Lead with purpose.
Wayne Phillis Automotive isn't your typical dealer group. We're a family-owned business that's proudly served southern Adelaide for 40 years — and in 2024, our Ford dealership was awarded the prestigious Ford President's Award for excellence in customer experience and performance.
With 5 respected franchises — Ford, Kia, Isuzu UTE, KGM and Geely — and a high-performing team, we're now seeking a Branch Parts Manager to lead our Christies Beach operation for Ford and KGM .
This is a hands-on leadership role reporting to the Group Parts Manager, with strong support from our head office team based at Lonsdale.
What you'll be doing:
* Leading a small but dedicated parts team of 2 at Christies Beach
* Managing parts operations across both Ford and KGM brands
* Driving KPIs, inventory control, margin performance, and supplier relationships
* Providing excellent support to technicians and retail customers
* Collaborating with the Group Parts Manager and our broader 6+ person parts team at Lonsdale
What we're looking for:
* A current Parts Manager seeking more autonomy
* Or a strong 2IC/Parts Interpreter ready to step into leadership
* A hands-on operator who leads by example
* Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with evolving targets
* Experience with Pentana DMS is preferred but not essential
Why join Wayne Phillis Automotive:
* 100% family-owned and operated for 40 years
* A stable team and trusted name in the southern suburbs
* Five franchise brands and ongoing investment in growth
* A team that values initiative, ownership, and results
* Autonomy with genuine support behind you
Location: Christies Beach, SA — with support and structure from our Lonsdale-based head office.
