Assistant Market General Manager

Are you a hands-on operational leader with a background in route sales, commercial distribution, or industrial supply?

We are seeking a high-energy Assistant Market General Manager to partner with our local leadership team at Interstate Batteries. In this role, you will help run the day-to-day engine of our market operations—combining team leadership, route sales optimization, dealer account management, and warehouse inventory control.

This is not a sit-behind-a-desk role. You’ll be on the floor and out in the field, working side-by-side with Route Sales Managers, solving problems for dealer accounts, and making sure our distribution runs seamlessly every day.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 3+ years in route sales, route distribution management, automotive supply, or multi-unit commercial operations.

• Transferable Backgrounds: strong experience in beverage distribution (e.g., DSD, route delivery), tool/equipment sales, auto parts wholesale, or industrial supply translates directly into success here.

• Leadership Style: You lead by example. You’re comfortable jumping into a warehouse operation or ride-along just as quickly as meeting with a key account owner.

• Skills & Requirements:
  • Valid Driver’s License with a clean driving record.

  • Capability to meet the physical demands of battery handling and warehouse logistics.

  • strong customer service, problem-solving, and communication skills.

  • Familiarity with route tracking, CRM, or inventory management software.

Why Apply?

• Direct-hire stability with a national, industry-leading commercial brand.

• Clear pathway for advancement into full Market General Manager roles.

• Competitive compensation package with performance incentives.
