Account Manager - Automotive Parts Data
We are seeking an Account Manager with an automotive parts background to join an innovative, automotive technology business that is transforming how repairers, dealer groups, and fleets source and order parts with a new to market product.
The company is building intelligent, automated workflows that replace fragmented systems, manual catalogues, and the daily challenges of backorders, supersessions, wrong‑fit issues, VIN confusion, and supplier chasing.
They are now looking for an Account Manager who understands these pressures first‑hand and can help customers adopt a smarter, more efficient way of working.
This role is ideal for someone who has worked in a motor factor or parts distributor as a Parts Advisor, Assistant Manager, Area Sales Representative, or similar, and is ready to step into a tech‑driven, customer‑focused position with real impact.
What's on Offer
Salary - Circa 32-40k Basic, dependent upon experience + Bonus
Office based in Southeast London - commutable from Brixton, Greenwich, Woolwich, Stratford, Hackney, Camden Town, Notting Hill, Kensington, Hammersmith, Streatham, Ealing, Wimbledon, Walthamstow, Tottenham, Bromley, Croydon, Mitcham.
Sidcup, Blexleyheath, Dartford, Barking Ilford, Wembley, Twickenham, Epsom
Key Responsibilities
Manage customer relationships across large repairers, acting as the main point of contact for parts managers and service teams.
Onboard and support users, ensuring the platform is fully adopted across inspection → booking → ordering workflows.
Resolve booking and parts identification queries, troubleshoot issues quickly, and help prevent delays.
Assist with part sourcing when items aren't available through standard ordering routes.
Monitor customer usage data to spot bottlenecks, low adoption, or workflow issues, using dashboards and spreadsheets.
Provide weekly insights to founders and product teams, building action plans to improve customer performance.
Identify growth opportunities within existing accounts, including new sites, teams, or upsell potential.
Support sales activity by joining calls and providing operational context.
Feed customer feedback into product development, highlighting workflow friction, feature gaps, and new use cases.
Collaborate closely with product and engineering to shape enhancements that move toward full quotation and ordering automation.
About you
Proven experience in a customer‑facing parts role.
Background as a Parts Advisor, Assistant Manager, Area Sales, or similar within a motor factor or parts distributor.
Strong understanding of parts identification, catalogues, suppliers, and ordering workflows.
Comfortable using Excel, dashboards, and simple data tools.
Clear communicator who builds trust quickly with workshop and service teams.
Proactive, solutions‑focused, and motivated by improving customer operations.
Thrives in fast‑paced, build‑from‑scratch environments.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a high‑impact position where the successful candidate will directly influence customer success, product development, and commercial growth.
The company is founded by entrepreneurs who have previously built and exited automotive tech businesses, offering clear progression into senior account management, multi‑site leadership, and business development.
