General Manager- Sales and Growth Leadership

Job Overview

General Sales Manager / General Manager (Retail Growth Leadership)

$100,000 – $150,000 + Bonus + Profit Participation
Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet | Dubuque, IA

Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet is a fast-scaling retail operation doing high-volume sales in appliances, furniture, and home improvement products. We are building a serious growth machine — and we need a true sales leader to help scale it.

This is a hands-on, floor-driven leadership role.
Not corporate. Not oversight.
You will own revenue performance.

Who This Role Is For:

You have:

• Personally closed high-ticket sales

• Built and managed a sales team of 5+ reps

• Carried a revenue number ($5M+ responsibility preferred)

• Led from the front — not from an office

• Fixed broken processes and increased production

• Worked in automotive, RV, furniture, appliance, or high-volume retail

If you’ve never owned a P&L or built a sales team — this role is not a fit.

Immediate Priorities (First 90 Days)

• Increase sales production immediately

• Improve lead follow-up and closing ratios

• Tighten accountability and daily sales tracking

• Improve inventory flow and floor presentation

• Improve receiving, delivery, warranty and service execution

• Build scalable systems

Ideal Background:

• Automotive General Sales Manager

• RV Sales Manager

• Furniture Store GM

• Appliance Sales Leader

• Retail Owner / Operator

• High-volume commissioned sales environment leader

Compensation

• Base salary: $100,000 – $150,000

• Performance-based bonus

• Profit participation discussion for high performers

• Long-term growth opportunity as we expand

This Role Is NOT:

• A retail “store manager” position

• A corporate administrator role

• A slow-moving environment

This is a growth leadership role.

To Apply:

Submit a resume AND include:

1. The largest sales team you built

2. Revenue you were responsible for

3. A time you turned around a struggling operation
