• Decide which products we sell and where to get them
• Merchandise those products to consumers in relevant and appealing ways
• Maintain RockAuto’s reputation for broad coverage, complete information, variety, and low prices
• Analyze all aspects of a product category – parts in our catalog, other options in the market, factors that bring value to customers
• Collaborate with manufacturers to research products, integrate digital content, and coordinate promotions
• Organize huge data sets – hundreds of thousands of products for tens of thousands of vehicles, each with specifications, images, attributes, and features & benefits – to enable customers to find the right part every time
• Expand our product mix and application coverage to ensure we have All The Parts Your Car Will Ever Need®

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree with a high GPA at a competitive school, ideally with a concentration in digital marketing or a similar “math + computers + creativity” subject
• Advanced computer skills (writing database queries, creating process flows, and assisting with internal software development)
• Data-driven Marketing and Project Management experience (you discovered what needed to be done and made it happen!)
• Communication and negotiation skills (including the tact to apply them without alienating business partners)
• Ability to work full time on site at our Madison, Wisconsin office without visa sponsorship

Helpful (But Not Required):

• Automotive knowledge, especially hands-on repair experience
• Familiarity with e-commerce logistics (shipping rates and restrictions, packaging, keywords, Prop65)
• Competence with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, or other web design languages
• Fluency with tools to gain insight from data too large and complex to review in Excel (SQL, R, Perl, Python, etc.)

Why RockAuto?

• Consistent growth. Decades of double-digit sales growth made RockAuto one of America’s largest auto part retailers. A still-small share of a huge, fragmented, recession-resistant market means significant long-term opportunity. This is a career, not a stepping stone.
• Consistent focus. Family-owned with no debt, RockAuto builds lasting customer, employee, and supplier relationships. Relentless improvement makes shopping fast, easy, and flexible, while maintaining the familiar look and functionality our customers expect.
• Transparency, autonomy, efficiency. A flat structure enables immediate visibility and direct influence on company success. A “become the expert, then automate it” mindset delivers low prices and good service for customers; fair treatment and steady growth for suppliers; and comfortable incomes and personal growth for employees. No outsourcing. No bureaucracy. No Wall Street.
• Excellent compensation. RockAuto offers competitive wages, overtime pay for all positions, affordable health insurance, 100%- funded retirement, and an unparalleled tradition of putting company financial success in employee paychecks.
• A great place to live. Centered on an isthmus between two beautiful lakes, Madison is a capital city and college town with short commutes, recreational opportunities, and cultural events.
