Job Description

Boise, ID | Privately Held | Automotive Retail | Values-Driven

I’m running point on a retained search for a second-in-command / COO / Integrator to join a dealership in Boise that doesn’t act like a dealership. If you’ve ever said, “I’d never work in the car business,” you’re in good company as most of their team said the same before they joined.

But here’s the thing: this company has built something different. No commission sales team. No gimmicks. Just real people, serving real people, with an operational model that works and a founder who’s ready to bring in the horsepower to help actualize what can be.

That’s where you come in.

The Opportunity

They’re looking for a COO-type leader. Someone who lead and inspire the team while the founder focuses on long-term vision, brand, and community work. Someone who understands how to bring clarity and structure that amplifies culture. Someone who leads by coaching, not controlling.

You’d be accountable for:

• ensuring all day-to-day ops across sales, service, and inventory
• Owning the P&L and improving margins with better discipline
• Driving capacity, accountability and execution across the leadership team
• Strengthening EOS rhythms — rocks, measurables, L10s, all of it
• Helping the team level up without burning out or breaking what works

They’re not trying to scale fast. They’re trying to get better, go deeper, and build something that lasts.

The Right Fit Probably Looks Like This:

• You’ve done this before — maybe as a COO, GM, or Integrator at a founder-led company
• You know your way around financials and people — and can move between the two with ease
• You’ve led 30–100+ person teams and helped them grow the right way
• You believe in systems and data, but you don’t forget you’re leading humans
• You’re not afraid to challenge a founder, and you know how to do it with respect
• You either live in Boise or have a real reason to move there soon

If you’ve got automotive, retail, or multi-unit experience, that’s great but not required.

Why You’d Take a Call

This is a legit seat at the table. The team is solid, the founder is self-aware, and the culture is built on actual values, not just words on a wall. They’re not asking you to clean up a mess or fix a toxic culture, they’re asking you to help sharpen what already works and push it to the next level.

If this caught your attention, shoot me a quick message or apply here and I’ll take it from there.
