Join to apply for the Senior Events & Engagement Manager role at GSF Car Parts
We’re looking for a passionate events professional to lead GSF’s ever-growing portfolio of events and hospitality — creating experiences that excite, inspire and connect our national accounts, garage concepts and independent garages.

You’ll work with in-house marketers and trusted specialist partners to ensure every event exceeds expectations while keeping budgets and timelines on track.
