About this opportunity
PRL International lists this General Manager, Acquisitions and Integration opportunity in big lake, Minnesota. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
A privately held national distribution company is acquiring a smaller distributor in the Big Lake area and is hiring the General Manager who will run it.
This is not one job in one town. It is the integration seat for a company that intends to keep buying. Take this business from a loss to profitability, fold it into the national platform, then go do the next one.
If you want a stable operation to maintain, stop reading.
The work. Learn the P&L directly from the owner, who stays through the transition. Evaluate a ten-person team that has not turned a profit in three years and find out why. Integrate product lines, purchasing, vendor terms and freight. Then consolidate the facility and move to the next acquisition. No sales quota. A sales team is in place. You run the business.
What we require. You have personally owned a P&L, not contributed to one. You have led a consolidation, integration or restructuring and made the staffing calls that come with it. You can work alongside a founder. You are willing to travel and relocate for future acquisitions. Distribution, wholesale or manufacturing background preferred.
Industry experience is not necessary. This is a growth role more than a management role. You will run the business day to day, but the real work is the P&L and the strategy: finding where the money is going, tying the two companies together, and building the model this owner will use for every acquisition after this one.
Two things to know. The facility consolidates into the parent operation in roughly eighteen months. That is planned, not a risk, and it is when you move to the next one. The compensation is weighted toward performance and grows with each acquisition.
Compensation. Base $110,000. Ten percent of EBITDA improvement over baseline for two years, plus milestone bonuses. Year one target $130,000. Year two $150,000 to $175,000, growing as the platform expands. Relocation assistance available.
