About the Role
Do you have an interest in classic cars, vintage automotive parts, and automotive history? Doug Russell Marine is looking for an
Automotive E-Commerce & Vintage Parts Catalog Specialist to help identify, organize, catalog, market, and sell our inventory of vintage automotive components, along with occasional marine parts and equipment.
This is a hands-on role that combines automotive research, inventory management, e-commerce, photography, and order fulfillment. You will work directly with a wide variety of vintage components, including chrome trim, air cleaner assemblies, mechanical parts, hubcaps, accessories, and other automotive parts primarily from the 1950s through the 1970s.
A major part of this position will involve researching unfamiliar parts, determining year, make, model, and application whenever possible, and creating an organized digital catalog so items can be accurately listed, located, sold, and shipped.
If you enjoy classic cars, researching hard-to-identify parts, working independently, and having variety in your day, this may be a great fit.
Key Responsibilities
Identify & Research Vintage Automotive Parts Inspect and identify vintage automotive components using part numbers, casting numbers, markings, measurements, reference materials, and online research. Determine applicable year, make, model, and fitment whenever possible.
Inventory & Database Management Enter accurate product information into spreadsheets and internal inventory systems. Maintain organized physical storage locations so cataloged inventory can be quickly located when an item sells.
Create E-Commerce Listings Photograph parts clearly and accurately, document condition and identifying details, and create informative listings for platforms such as eBay and Facebook Marketplace.
Research Market Pricing Review current listings, completed sales, historical pricing, and market demand to help establish competitive and appropriate selling prices for vintage and hard-to-find parts.
Order Fulfillment Locate sold inventory and carefully package parts for shipment, including fragile trim pieces, heavy mechanical components, and unusually shaped items.
Marine Parts Support Assist with identifying, cataloging, listing, or shipping marine engines, outboard parts, trailer components, and related inventory as needed.
What We’re Looking For
Automotive Knowledge or Interest A strong interest in classic cars, vintage automotive parts, mechanical components, restoration, or automotive history. Previous automotive experience is helpful but not required for the right candidate.
Resourceful & Willing to Learn You will regularly encounter parts you may not immediately recognize. We are looking for someone who enjoys researching, problem-solving, asking questions when needed, and learning as they go.
Detail-Oriented & Organized Accuracy is extremely important when recording part numbers, applications, condition, inventory locations, and listing information.
Comfortable With Technology Basic computer skills are required. Experience with eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Excel, Google Sheets, online research, or other e-commerce platforms is a plus.
Self-Motivated Able to organize your workload and move independently between researching parts, photographing inventory, creating listings, maintaining records, and fulfilling orders.
Hands-On This position involves regularly handling automotive and marine parts of different sizes, weights, and conditions and working in both office and inventory/storage environments.
Education: High school diploma or equivalent required.
Why Join Doug Russell Marine?
Work With Unique Inventory Get hands-on exposure to vintage automotive components, classic car parts, marine equipment, and items you may not encounter in a typical parts or warehouse position.
Variety in Your Day This role combines research, automotive knowledge, photography, e-commerce, inventory management, and shipping, so your daily responsibilities will vary.
Training & Support We will provide training on our internal inventory systems, cataloging procedures, storage organization, and listing processes.
Independence & Ownership Once trained, you will have a high degree of independence in managing the cataloging and sales process. We value employees who take initiative, stay organized, research solutions, and take ownership of their work while also knowing when to ask questions.
