What are the responsibilities and job description for the President position at Walstrom Marine?
Who We Are:
Headquartered in Harbor Springs, Michigan, Walstrom Marine is one of the largest privately owned marine dealerships in Michigan, focused primarily on “big water” craft with premium brands including Tiara Yachts, Regal, Sea Ray, Pursuit and Chris Craft. In 2022, Walstrom acquired Grand Bay Marine in Traverse City and Algonac Harbor Club on Lake St. Clair. Today we operate dealerships Harbor Springs, Bay Harbor, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Traverse City, Algonac and Holland.
The boating season in Michigan is amazing but short. We hope every moment Walstrom customers have on the water makes a memory. At Walstrom Marine, we take pride in our over 75-year legacy of providing exceptional service and keeping our customers on the water all season long. We make sure we find them the boat that best suits their needs, we service it to maximize their time on water and, when the season is over, we handle storage and required maintenance.
Our success hinges on the exceptional individuals who join our team, and we are dedicated to investing in their career growth and development. At Walstrom Marine, we prioritize continuous training and development for our team members. As we continue to expand, we remain steadfast in upholding the family-owned values that define us while offering the benefits and growth opportunities characteristic of a larger organization. Join us in maintaining our legacy and driving the future of marine excellence!
