general manager Barrie
Job description
How Can I Help?
We are looking for an experienced Retail / Customer Service Manager to lead our new Barrie Branch. This isn’t your traditional bricks and mortar retail leadership role.
Here’s how it works:
- As a home-based selling organization our corporate marketing and sales teams take care of all of the heavy lifting with getting customers, managing them, scheduling in-home visits and selling.
- The Branch General Manager steps in after the project is sold and owns the total customer and team experience as we complete the project for the customer.
We think it’s really simple… if you find yourself asking every day, How can I help?, this could be the perfect opportunity for you?
The Job
This is a true hands-on store/branch leadership role, ensuring that our outstanding customer experience (check out our Google reviews) is maintained and the Branch is working at optimal performance to realize monthly revenue while maintaining our awesome team culture.
Highlights include:
- Customer Experience - jump on any developing customer issues early and find win/win solutions with the customer - “how can I help”?
- Employee Experience - check in each and every day with each and every team member with a simple - “how can I help”?
- Speed - each stage in the Ops Process is completed as quickly as possible
- Quality - quality of measure results in quality installs
Specific Duties

- Ensure payment at the end of each project
- Ensure receivables are prioritized and actively managed
- Direct Support and Manage all team members to ensure they have the resources to get their work done, eliminate any barriers and improve systems and processes. If you’re being a ‘pain in the butt’ to our corporate and management teams to get “stuff” done, you’re probably on the right track.
What's in it for you:
- Work / life balance - time with family and friends is really important.
- Monday - Friday day work hours (for the most part unless something big is happening). Unlike traditional bricks and mortar retail we don’t need to be staffed 12 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Competitive compensation with a generous base salary and monthly performance bonuses
- Company paid benefits
- 3 weeks paid vacation
- Company lap-top
- Your birthday off - just because it’s your birthday!
- Work with an energized, positive, growth company - incredible career growth potential - real opportunity for advancement
- Comprehensive training
Who are you?
- Significant experience leading mid to large size retail or branch operations - minimum 10 years experience
- Experienced dealing with and resolving complex customer issues
- Naturally helpful and a problem solver
- Acts quickly and decisively - if an issue is developing, you jump on it.
