General Manager

Description

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

If you're the kind of person who takes pride in building something that lasts-and you don't mind putting in the work to get it there-we should talk.

At Warehouse on Wheels, our General Managers don't sit back and manage. They own their market-from sales and operations to team development and financial performance.

Think "local business owner" mindset, not "corporate executive".

What you'll own:

• Grow the business - Build relationships, win customers, and get trailers on rent
• Run the operation - Keep equipment ready, safe, and meeting demand
• Drive performance - Use data and day-to-day awareness to stay on track
• Lead your team - Hire, coach, and develop people who show up and deliver
• Own the numbers - Budget, pricing, utilization, and collections
• Solve problems quickly - When issues pop up, you address them head-on
• Stay close to customers - You know your accounts and where the next opportunity is

This is a "roll-up-your-sleeves, lead-from-the-front" role-not a desk job.


What success looks like:

• Equipment is moving and utilization is strong
• Customer relationships are growing-and so is the business
• Your team is accountable, engaged, and improving
• You know your numbers and can pivot quickly when needed

What we need from you:

• Builder mindset - You'd rather grow something than maintain it
• Balanced operator - Strong in both sales and operations
• Low ego, high ownership - You don't need a title to lead
• Reliable and responsive - You follow through every time
• Team-first leader - You bring people along and develop them
• Comfortable in the field - Yard, customer site, office-you're good in all environments

• Experience in transportation, equipment rental, logistics, or a similar field
• Proven ability to grow business, accounts, or a location
• Understanding of both financial performance and day-to-day operations
• Strong communication, follow-up, and problem-solving skills

Why WOW:

• Real ownership-you'll make decisions that directly impact your market
• A team that values hard work, accountability, and helping each other win
• Opportunity to build something meaningful-not just maintain it
• No unnecessary layers or red tape

Columbus is built on consistency, reliability, and doing things the right way-and that's exactly what works here. If you're someone who builds trust through follow-through and takes pride in delivering results, you'll fit right in.

If you're ready to step into a role where you can build a market, lead a team, and own the outcome, we'd love to connect.
