Description
Summary:
Seeking an entrepreneurial General Manager / Growth & Business Development leader to significantly grow a custom retractable screen door manufacturing and e-commerce company.
Highlights:
1. Lead growth and business development for an established manufacturer
2. Drive expansion of e-commerce, new products, and sales channels
3. Entrepreneurial role with substantial responsibility for company growth
Manufacturing • E-Commerce • Sales Growth • New Product Development
We are an established manufacturer and nationwide seller of custom retractable screen doors looking for an entrepreneurial General Manager / Growth & Business Development leader** to help run and significantly grow our company.
This is not a traditional General Manager position where the primary responsibility is maintaining the existing business.
We are looking for someone who can grow it.
Our company manufactures custom products, sells directly to consumers throughout the United States, sells through major online retail channels, and provides local installation services in select markets.
We have the infrastructure, manufacturing capabilities, customer base, and experience to grow substantially. We are looking for the right person to help us determine where that growth comes from and then execute the plan.
What You'll Be Responsible For
You will work directly with ownership and have substantial responsibility for both the operation and future growth of the company.
Responsibilities will include:
* Managing and improving day-to-day business operations
* Increasing sales of our existing product lines
* Developing new online and retail sales channels
* Identifying and launching complementary product lines
* Evaluating products that fit our existing manufacturing and custom-fabrication capabilities
* Developing relationships with suppliers and manufacturing partners
* Exploring domestic and international sourcing opportunities
* Expanding our e-commerce business
* Developing dealer, contractor, builder, distributor, and retail opportunities
* Identifying opportunities with major online and brick-and-mortar retailers
* Improving marketing, lead generation, conversion rates, and customer acquisition
* Developing new geographic markets
* Evaluating competitors and identifying underserved areas of the market
* Managing employees and improving productivity and accountability
* Developing systems that allow the company to scale efficiently
We are particularly interested in expanding into additional custom-made home improvement products that can be sold directly to consumers online.
Potential categories could include solar shades, window screens, blinds and shades, retractable awnings, outdoor shade products, and other products that complement our existing manufacturing and fulfillment capabilities.
We don't expect you to simply execute our ideas. We want you to bring your own.
Who We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, sales-oriented, analytical, and comfortable taking ownership of results.
You may have experience in:
* Manufacturing
* E-commerce
* Home improvement products
* Building products
* Direct-to-consumer sales
* Business development
* Dealer or distributor development
* Digital marketing
* Product sourcing
* New product launches
* Scaling a small or mid-sized business
You do not necessarily need experience in retractable screens.
More important is your ability to look at an established company, identify opportunities, develop a strategy, and turn those opportunities into profitable revenue.
Compensation – Strong Performance Incentives
We want compensation to be heavily tied to results.
The position will include a competitive base salary plus substantial performance-based compensation tied directly to measurable growth.
Performance incentives may include bonuses or commissions based on:
Growth in existing sales
Growth in e-commerce revenue
New product-line revenue and profitability
New dealer/distributor accounts
New retail or online sales channels
Expansion into new geographic markets
Overall increases in company revenue and profitability
Our objective is to create a compensation structure where an exceptional performer can earn well into six figures.
There is no reason the person helping create significant additional profit for the company shouldn't participate meaningfully in that success.
This Position Is for a Builder
We are not looking for someone who simply wants to oversee an established operation.
We are looking for someone who sees opportunity.
Someone who asks:
What other products should we be selling?
What sales channels aren't we using?
Where are our competitors vulnerable?
How can we double this business?
If you have the experience, creativity, and drive to answer those questions — and you want your compensation tied directly to the results you produce — we'd like to talk with you.
To Apply
Please send your resume along with a brief explanation of:
1. A business, product line, territory, or sales channel you have helped grow.
2. What you personally did to create that growth.
3. The measurable results you achieved.
4. Why a heavily performance-based compensation structure appeals to you.
