General Manager

Lead the Powerhouse: General Manager, Atlanta

Location: Smyrna, GA

Total Target Compensation: $150,000 - $175,000 (base salary annual bonus potential)

The Opportunity: Lead One of Our Biggest Stages

Southwind isn't just "growing"—we are redefining the home services industry. Atlanta is one of our largest and most impactful territories in the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? network — a $24 million operation that sets the pace for what's possible, built on the Southwind playbook now running in 50 markets across North America.

We aren't looking for a "desk manager." We need a General Manager who thrives on the chaos of logistics, the precision of fleet safety, and the pride of building a world-class culture. If you're a strategic operator who knows how to lead a market of this scale and keep raising the bar, this is your stage.

How You'll Win:

• Own the P&L: Treat this $24M operation like your own. You'll drive profitability through smart strategic planning and growth initiatives that keep our Atlanta market performing like the powerhouse it is.
• Safety & Fleet Mastery: Fleet Safety isn't just a checkbox for you—it's a culture. You'll oversee compliance and risk management to ensure our teams stay safe and our trucks stay on the road.
• Build the Bench: You aren't just managing employees; you're developing the next generation of leaders. You'll mentor, train, and inspire a high-performing frontline crew, turning "junk removal" into a world-class customer experience.
• Operational Excellence: From complex scheduling to logistics optimization and labor planning, you'll fine-tune the engine to ensure we're the fastest, cleanest, and most professional service in Atlanta.

Qualifications:

• The Education: Bachelor's degree in Business Administration or Management (Master's degree preferred).
• The Leadership Experience: You have a proven track record in Home Services, Logistics, or Fleet Operations. You've been in the trenches and know how to scale.
• Fleet Expertise: Specific experience in Fleet Safety and Risk Management.
• The Grit: Strong business acumen and a demonstrated ability to inspire teams, drive results, and foster a culture of innovation.
