Responsible for sourcing vehicles for our self serve auto parts stores in 3 markets, Indianapolis, Louisville and Cincinnati. Our goal is to buy 1000 cars per month per store for our consistent retail traffic. We purchased these cars by developing relationships with different suppliers such as tow vendors, used car dealerships, auto auctions, and the general public. I constantly had to balance maintaining our current supplier base while also cold calling new potential suppliers. Pricing was determined based on the value of scrap metal byproducts we could extract from the car and the estimated $$ amount of retail parts we could sell from each vehicle.Negotiated with our scrap customers on a monthly basis to determine pricing. I also was able to utilize my previous experience as a scrap metal trader to find new outlets for our scrap metal and byproduct for higher pricing. Currently managing a team of 1 direct report who assists with vehicle purchasing mostly thru online auto auctions. I try to lead by example, working as a team to ensure we are meeting our purchasing goals in all 3 markets. Coordinated with operations to determine each store specific needs, such as processing capacity, scrap sales forecasts and specific vehicle needs for our retail division.
