The right person will make sure the Director walks into every day prepared.

Calendars organized. Meetings scheduled. Reports printed. KPIs updated. Follow-ups documented. Priorities clearly identified.

The goal is simple:
remove administrative friction so our Fixed Operations Director can spend more time leading people, improving processes, increasing productivity, and growing the business.

• Assist with communication between the Fixed Operations Director and Service, Parts, BDC, Accounting, Sales, and senior leadership.
• Help coordinate training, employee meetings, vendor meetings, and operational projects.
• Maintain confidentiality regarding employee, financial, operational, and company information.
