Aftermarket Operations & E-Commerce Associate

Location: Austin, TX
Job Type: Full-Time, On-Site
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
Salary:$60–$70,000K

About the Opportunity

We are conducting a confidential search for an Aftermarket Operations & E-Commerce Associate to join a growing Austin-based operation serving the heavy-duty transportation and equipment industry.

This is much more than a traditional parts or warehouse position. This person will have the opportunity to take ownership of an emerging resale and e-commerce operation and help build it into a meaningful revenue channel.

The company has a significant inventory of quality used and surplus parts and components. Your role will be to identify items with resale value, photograph and create listings, establish pricing, manage fulfillment, and continuously improve the process.

At the same time, you will gain hands-on experience in purchasing, vendor management, inventory control, and parts operations.

This is an entry-level opportunity with significant ownership and growth potential. We are looking for someone with good judgment, initiative, attention to detail, and the desire to build something—not necessarily someone with years of industry experience.

What You'll Own

• Help build and grow the company's used and surplus parts resale channel

• Determine which parts should be listed for sale

• Photograph, describe, price, package, and ship parts

• Monitor sales activity, pricing, and inventory performance

• Maintain accurate inventory records and investigate discrepancies

• Manage relationships and orders with assigned vendors

• Help improve processes as the e-commerce operation grows

Key Responsibilities

• Place parts orders with vendors by phone, email, and online portals

• Follow up with vendors regarding orders, backorders, credits, and delivery status

• Receive shipments and verify parts against purchase orders and invoices

• Resolve shortages, backorders, billing discrepancies, and other purchasing issues

• Photograph and create online listings for used and surplus parts

• Package and ship customer orders

• Perform inventory counts and investigate inventory variances

• Maintain purchase orders, invoices, packing slips, credits, and core returns

• Pick up parts from local vendors and make occasional deliveries

• Work with technicians and service personnel to identify the correct parts for specific equipment

• Use technology and AI tools to research part numbers, improve listings, organize information, and streamline administrative work

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in any field

• Strong initiative and an ownership mentality

• Ability to work independently and solve problems without needing constant direction

• Good judgment and the ability to make decisions with incomplete information

• Strong verbal and written communication skills

• Comfortable communicating with vendors by phone and email

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy

• Comfortable working with numbers, part numbers, inventory, and records

• Valid driver's license and clean driving record

• Ability to frequently lift and carry up to 50 lbs.

• Ability to stand, bend, reach, and move throughout the workday, with or without reasonable accommodation

• Authorized to work in the United States

Preferred, But Not Required

• Degree in engineering, supply chain, business, or another technical field

• Experience selling products through eBay, Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, or another online marketplace

• E-commerce experience

• Photography or product-listing experience

• Experience with inventory, parts, dealerships, warehouses, fleets, automotive, or similar industries

• Experience using AI tools to improve productivity or automate routine tasks

Technology & AI

The company actively uses AI and technology to improve everyday operations, including researching part numbers, creating product listings, organizing spreadsheets, and reducing administrative work.

You do not need prior AI experience. What matters most is that you're curious, comfortable learning new technology, and naturally look for better and faster ways to accomplish a task.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

This isn't a job where you'll simply be handed a checklist every day.

You'll have the opportunity to build and take ownership of a business function, learn multiple areas of operations, and directly see the results of your work.

If you're someone who sees an opportunity and thinks, "There has to be a better way to do this," this could be an excellent fit.

Compensation & Schedule

• Salary:$60–$70,000K

• Full-time, hourly/non-exempt position

• Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

• On-site in Austin, TX

• Overtime paid at 1.5x for hours worked over 40 per week

• Health insurance available
