Service Manager
Salary not disclosed
Grand Rapids, Michigan 1 week ago

Our client, a respected and growing industrial equipment manufacturer, is seeking a Parts & Service Manager to lead and elevate their aftermarket operations. This is a highly visible leadership role reporting directly to the President, responsible for overseeing service, parts, and customer support functions while helping shape long-term growth strategy.

This opportunity is ideal for a technically grounded leader who thrives in customer-facing environments, enjoys developing people, and sees service operations as both a performance engine and a revenue driver.

In the first year, this role will require approximately 50% travel (primarily across the U.S. and Canada) as you build relationships and assess field operations. Long-term travel expectations average closer to 25%.

What You'll Own

  • Lead and develop a team of 7-10 direct reports
  • Oversee daily operations of service and parts functions, ensuring responsiveness, quality, and profitability
  • Drive customer satisfaction and retention through proactive relationship management
  • Partner with executive leadership to enhance aftermarket strategy and long-term service growth
  • Identify and cultivate strategic partnerships to expand service capabilities and revenue streams
  • Improve systems, processes, and KPIs across service delivery and parts distribution
  • Support sales initiatives through technical expertise and consultative customer engagement
  • Monitor performance metrics and implement continuous improvement initiatives

Projects You'll Work On

  • Evaluating and optimizing field service structure and deployment strategy
  • Building scalable parts inventory and supply chain processes
  • Strengthening customer service programs and preventative maintenance offerings
  • Establishing and expanding strategic vendor and service partnerships
  • Enhancing revenue generation through service contracts and aftermarket programs
  • Implementing performance metrics to drive operational accountability

What Experience You Should Bring

  • 7+ years of leadership experience within service, parts, or aftermarket operations
  • Proven ability to manage and develop technical teams
  • Strong customer-facing skills with a sales-oriented mindset
  • Technical background within industrial equipment, machinery, manufacturing, or similar industries
  • Experience managing P&L or departmental budgets
  • Comfort with regular travel across North America
  • Engineering background is a plus, but not required
  • Strategic thinker who can balance day-to-day execution with long-term planning

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct access to executive leadership and influence over company strategy
  • High base compensation with strong discretionary bonus structure
  • Opportunity to shape and modernize service operations
  • Stable, growth-oriented organization with a strong industry reputation
  • Significant ownership and autonomy in building partnerships and improving processes

This is a rare opportunity for a service leader who wants both operational ownership and strategic impact.
