About The Position

The Independent Aftermarket (IAM) Transportation Manager will oversee
transportation strategy, execution, and service optimization for Mopar’s growing
Independent Aftermarket business segment. This role is essential to
strengthening Mopar’s partnerships with independent retailers.

Expand field visibility and performance reporting for IAM network operations
to maintain brand reputation and customer satisfaction.
Free up existing transportation leaders to focus on core dealer distribution
while assigning this role to drive aftermarket-specific innovation and
accountability
