Automotive Area Manager / Leader / Coach

(The Who) – A More Company is an employee owned holding company. We have decades of experience operating automotive businesses. We transitioned our 4 repair shops in Utah three years ago into an employee owned trust and created the holding company. We are starting to acquire shops around the country and helping convert them to employee ownership. We will hold these companies in the Trust, never to be sold again. We will look to continually offer great jobs and service to the communities we operate in. We are starting in the automotive space and eventually we will diversify into other service sectors and create a movement that helps 1000’s of businesses transition to employee ownership over the next 10 years!

This job will be taking on managerial responsibilities of a newly acquired shop in Augusta, GA and help us build and grow the business there. Once the new shop is thriving, we would love to acquire additional store locations and the person in this role will have the opportunity to oversee and support these transitions and provide coaching, guidance and support.

The newly acquired shop is Regency Auto Augusta . It has a proud 40-year history of serving Augusta with owners that cared deeply about its employees and customers. We are preserving their legacy by transitioning the business into an employee owned company and we are super excited to be expanding our services and growing to serve more customers there!As employee owners, we’re all partners in the business and are expected to own our lives and help each other do the same. We work for our customers because we genuinely care about them and each other and we hold each other accountable in a positive and encouraging way. It’s not just a job here. We take this seriously.

Our store managers excel at growing their shop and their teams and teaching their teams how to hold themselves and others accountable. Our store managers model our company values and help their teams do the same. They are humble, and willing to give more than they take.

Not only do our great shop managers understand people and the importance of customer loyalty, they also excel at ensuring the day-to-day shop activities are optimized for quality and efficiency.
