Multi-Unit General Manager / Director of Operations | Up to $125k Base | Tampa

Job Title:

Automotive Multi-unit General Manager

Locations:  

Brandon, Riverview, and Apollo Beach (Rotating Weekly)

Job Overview:

At Christian Brothers Automotive, we operate on a simple but profound principle: "Love your neighbor as yourself." We aren't just in the auto repair business; we are in the people business. As the owner of three premier, high-volume locations in Brandon, Riverview, and Apollo Beach, my goal is to dominate the local market through operational excellence, deep community impact, and an elite workplace culture.

We are seeking a powerhouse Multi-Unit General Manager who combines the heart of a servant leader with the drive of a high-performing retail executive. This is a boots-on-the-ground role. You will rotate among our three stores to coach our teams, enforce our proven playbook, and aggressively drive these locations to their maximum potential.

Who this role is not for (Read Before Applying)

Before reading further, please understand our culture. We are looking for a builder, not a hatchet man.

• If your leadership style relies on corporate micromanagement, fear, or managing solely by spreadsheets from a remote office, this is not the place for you.
• If your first instinct when taking over a market is to "clear house," fire the existing staff, and bring in "your own team," do not apply.
• We have great, dedicated people already in these shops. Your job is to mentor, protect, elevate, and inspire the team we have—not replace them. Success here means zero voluntary turnover because people love working for you.

The Goal: Driving Super-Successful Stores

We are not looking for a passive supervisor or a ruthless corporate suit; we are looking for a growth catalyst who wins with people. You will be directly responsible for making these three shops the highest-performing automotive repair centers in the Tampa region by focusing on:

• Driving Top-Line Sales & Profitability: Optimize service advisor performance, maximize car count, and ensure healthy margins without ever sacrificing our core values of honesty and integrity.
• Elite Store Presentation: Maintain pristine, world-class shop environments that reflect the premium Christian Brothers brand standard across all three locations.
• Market Dominance: Implement strategic operational adjustments to capture local market share and build a massive base of fiercely loyal, repeating guests.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

•  Culture, Training, & Near-Zero Turnover
  • Protect the Existing Team: Invest heavily in the current staff at Brandon, Riverview, and Apollo Beach. Learn their strengths, coach their weaknesses, and help them thrive.
  • Keep Morale High: Cultivate a transparent, encouraging, and respectful environment that makes our shops the absolute best place to work in the Tampa automotive industry.
  • Train & Mentor: Turn mistakes into coaching moments. Continuously develop Service Advisors and Technicians, helping them hit their production targets and career milestones.
  • Create Low Turnover: Build a culture where people feel deeply valued, virtually eliminating voluntary staff turnover.
• Process Discipline & Playbook Enforcement
  • Enforce the CBA System: Ensure 100% strict adherence to established Christian Brothers Automotive processes, from the initial digital vehicle inspection (DVI) to the final customer handoff.
  • Cross-Store Consistency: Eliminate operational variance. Ensure all three locations execute operations with the exact same elite standard of quality.
  • Physical Presence: Rotate predictably among the three shops. You will work directly from the service counters and shop floors—teaching, auditing, and streamlining workflows in real time
•  Faith, Family, & Community Engagement
  • Build Local Partnerships: Act as our brand ambassador by building deep, meaningful relationships with local churches, ministries, and community organizations in Brandon, Riverview, and Apollo Beach.
  • Drive Outreach Initiatives: Coordinate community-focused programs, such as free car care clinics for single mothers, partnerships with local non-profits, and neighborhood outreach events.

Qualifications:

• Automotive Retail Experience Required: You must have a proven, successful track record in automotive repair management or automotive retail operations.
• The Ideal Candidate: Previous management experience within a Christian Brothers Automotive location is highly preferred. If you already know the CBA playbook and want to step up into multi-unit leadership, this is your opportunity.
• Multi-Unit Capability: Experience managing multiple locations or an incredibly high-volume single location, with the organizational skills to manage the logistics of rotating between three shops.
• Servant Heart & Sharp Mind: A leader who naturally puts others first, but possesses a fierce competitive drive to hit KPIs, optimize P&Ls, and win.

Physical Requirements:

• Being on your feet for the majority of the workday (standing, walking, etc)
• Occasionally lifting and carrying objects over 50 lbs.
• Driving manual transmission vehicles
• Keeping a brisk work pace in a high-volume environment
• Communicating clearly with customers and team members via phone and computer
