About Your Future Team

The Reseller team has a pretty unique spot in the Parts Town ecosystem. Think of us as an extra lane that helps OEM parts get to more customers, in more places, through trusted reseller and distributor partners. While Parts Town serves many customers across the foodservice industry directly, resellers help extend that reach into channels and markets we may not serve today. By building strong partnerships, the team helps grow OEM brands and make genuine OEM parts more accessible, while helping our reseller customers better serve their own customers. It's all about expanding the reach of OEM parts, strengthening brand equity, and putting real parts in front of more end users. 

The salary range for this role is $63,236.25– $94,466.90 annually which is based on including but not limited to qualifications, experience, and geographical location. Parts Town is a pay for performance-company. In addition to base pay, some roles offer a profit-sharing program, and an annual bonus depending on the role. Our comprehensive benefits package includes health, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) with match, employee assistance programs, paid time off, paid sick time off, paid holidays, paid parental leave, and professional development opportunities. 

Parts Town welcomes diversity and as an equal opportunity employer all qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.
