Are you an ambitious, commercially minded leader who is ready to step up and take real ownership of a business?
We’re working with an established manufacturing business that is looking for a General Manager to drive its next phase of growth.
This is an opportunity for someone who has already built a strong track record in commercial, sales, operations or business leadership and is ready for their next challenge.
You won't need to have been a General Manager before. What matters is that you're commercially sharp, ambitious, tenacious and ready to take accountability.
What You Get
- A base salary of £60-70k DOE
- Annual Bonus
The Role
Working closely with the MD and Board, you'll take a leading role in shaping the direction of the business and delivering profitable growth.
- You’ll be responsible for driving commercial strategy, revenue and profitability
- Developing existing customer relationships and winning new business
- Identifying new markets, opportunities and strategic partnerships
- Leading commercial negotiations, pricing and key opportunities
- Taking ownership of business performance and key KPIs
- Providing strategic oversight of operational performance
- Leading and challenging senior managers to deliver results
- Using P&L and financial information to make commercially sound decisions
- Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, performance and profitability
- Helping shape the future direction of the business
About You
We're looking for someone with ambition, energy and commercial conviction.
You might currently be a Commercial Manager, Operations Manager or similar, and feel ready to take that next step.
You'll be someone who:
- Is tenacious, driven and hungry to succeed
- Isn't afraid to challenge the status quo
- Has the confidence to say no when the numbers or business case don't stack up
- Makes decisions rather than sitting on the fence
- Has genuine commercial and financial acumen
- Has had exposure to P&L responsibility and understands what drives profitability
- You will have also got a good understanding of production / manufacturing processes in the textiles sector
- Can build strong customer relationships while protecting the interests of the business
- Is comfortable influencing and challenging senior stakeholders
- Can lead people, create accountability and get things done
- Has the ambition to grow with the business and take on increasing responsibility
Experience within textile manufacturing or a related sector is essential, as is your commercial mindset, leadership potential and track record of getting results.
This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit a job description and maintain the status quo.
It's an opportunity to step into a senior leadership position, influence strategy, make decisions and genuinely shape the future of the business.
If you're ambitious, commercially astute and ready to prove you can operate at the next level, we'd like to hear from you.
