Job description
General Manager Lead. Develop. Make an Impact.
At The Wellsville Group, we believe great stores are built by great leaders. As a General Manager, you'll play a key role in driving performance, developing people, and creating a culture where teams and individuals can succeed.
This is a hands-on leadership role for a proven retail leader who is ready to operate at a General Manager level while providing leadership support across the market.
Your primary home will be our Amherst showroom, with the opportunity to support other locations within the market as business needs require.
When the GM is present, you'll be a strong leadership partner—helping drive the business, coach the team, and keep priorities moving forward. When the GM is away, you'll step up and confidently lead the showroom.
You'll be visible on the sales floor, connected to your team, and actively involved in the business every day.
What You'll Do
You'll be a hands-on leader who is comfortable taking ownership and making things happen. Your role will include:
Partnering with General Managers to drive sales, culture, and operational excellence
Stepping into full showroom leadership when the GM is offsite, on PTO, or business needs require
Leading from the sales floor and staying connected to both customers and team members
Coaching, developing, and holding team members accountable to expectations
Supporting recruiting, onboarding, and development of future leaders
Reinforcing company initiatives, processes, and standards
Identifying opportunities and challenges within the business and taking action
Helping create consistency and strong leadership across the market
Building a culture where people feel supported, challenged, and motivated to perform
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a confident, people-first leader who enjoys leading from the front and knows how to bring out the best in others.
You may be a great fit if you:
Have proven retail leadership experience and are ready for your next challenge
Lead from the front and aren't afraid to get in the mix
Know how to coach people while still holding them accountable
Have the confidence to take charge and make decisions when needed
Thrive in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment
Build strong relationships while maintaining clear expectations
Enjoy developing people and seeing them grow
Can shift priorities and locations without losing focus
Understand that strong results start with a strong team
Most importantly, you see leadership as more than managing a store. You want to develop people, influence the business, and make a meaningful impact on the teams around you.
Why This Role Matters
As a General Manager supporting our Amherst showroom and the broader market, you'll play an important role in maintaining strong leadership and consistent execution across our business.
Your ability to move between supporting and leading allows our teams to stay focused, our standards to remain strong, and our customers to receive a great experience every day.
You'll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced leaders, build relationships across multiple locations, and continue expanding your leadership experience within The Wellsville Group.
