General Manager

Description

Run the business. Build the market. Lead the team.

At Warehouse on Wheels, our General Managers don't sit in offices; they run their markets like owners. You'll lead sales, operations, team development, and financial performance for our Kansas City location. It's part builder, part operator, and part relationship leader.

Think of it as being the local CEO of your market-without the ego.

What you'll own:

• Grow the business - Build relationships, win customers, and get trailers on rent
• Run operations - Make sure our equipment is ready, safe, and meeting demand
• Drive performance - Use metrics and your instincts to keep things moving
• Lead the team - Hire, coach, and develop people who show up and get it done
• Own the numbers - Budgeting, pricing, utilization, collections-it's your P&L
• Solve problems fast - When something breaks (and it will), you figure it out
• Stay close to customers - You'll know your market, your accounts, and your opportunities

This isn't a "sit back and manage" role. It's a "roll up your sleeves and go" role.


What success looks like:

• Trailers are moving, customers are growing, and utilization is up
• Your team knows the expectations-and delivers
• You've built a reputation in the KC market as someone who gets things done
• You know your numbers and can adjust quickly to hit targets

What we need from you:

• Builder mindset - You like growth, not maintenance
• Sales + ops hybrid - You can close a deal and make sure it gets executed
• Low ego, high ownership - You don't need a title to lead
• Urgent and accountable - You follow through-every time
• Team-first leader - You bring people with you, not over them
• Comfortable in the field - You're just as good in the yard as you are in a meeting

• Experience in transportation, equipment rental, logistics, or a related space
• Track record of growing accounts or running a business unit
• Ability to understand both the financials and the day-to-day operations
• Strong communication and follow-up skills

Why WOW:

• We're growing-and our GMs drive that growth
• You'll have real ownership and the ability to make decisions
• You'll work with a team that values hustle, accountability, and helping each other win
• No red tape. No fluff. Just a team that gets after it

Kansas City is built on hard work and pride-and we're looking for someone who fits that mold. If you're the kind of leader who knows how to build relationships over a handshake and deliver on what you promise, you'll do well here.

If you're ready to build something, lead from the front, and own your market-we'd love to connect.
