General Manager, CLEAN Cause Self-Distribution
Location: Austin, TX
Sales-Driven | Mission-Led | Growth-Minded

At CLEAN Cause, we don’t just sell drinks—we fuel second chances. We commit 50% of net profits (or $250,000 annually, whichever is greater) to support recovery housing initiatives—and we’ve donated over $3.7 million to date. If you're driven by purpose, wired for performance, and ready to lead a fast-growing distribution operation, keep reading.

We’re seeking a high-caliber General Manager to lead our Austin-based CLEAN Cause Self-Distribution team, overseeing both sales and warehouse operations. This role is more than managing logistics—it’s about building the brand, leading a disciplined, high-performing team, ensuring operational excellence, and being a key voice on the CLEAN Cause leadership team.

This role reports directly to the CEO and plays a critical role in supporting executive-level strategy and decision-making—whether it’s setting KPIs, building retail presentations, or surfacing insights from data. You’ll be on the ground daily, setting the tone, modeling accountability, and driving results.

We’re looking for someone who not only meets the qualifications—but is eager to grow, challenge themselves, and take on increasing responsibility across the company over time. If you’re hungry to develop as a leader within a purpose-driven organization, this is the place.

Own the strategy. Lead the people. Deliver the numbers. Elevate the culture.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee all aspects of the Austin-based CLEAN Cause Self-Distribution operation, including sales, route planning, warehouse management, and fleet oversight.
• Inspire and lead a team of 12 , setting clear expectations, leading by example, delivering feedback, and creating a culture of ownership and excellence.
• Report directly to the CEO, and support executive needs with data-driven analysis, forecasting, and execution of special projects.
• Develop and grow key regional retail relationships, representing CLEAN Cause with professionalism and hustling to expand shelf space and drive velocity.
• Build and execute market-level business plans aligned to company goals and commercial priorities.
• Create KPI dashboards, build retail presentations, and analyze trends to inform leadership decision-making.
• Work cross-functionally with HQ teams (Marketing, Ops, Finance, HR) to ensure smooth execution and aligned strategy.
• Leverage Encompass, NetSuite, Google Sheets, and Excel to rigorously track performance, improve accountability, and drive continuous improvement.
• Champion operational discipline and safety, maintaining high standards for warehouse operations, fleet compliance, and team readiness.
• Be a culture carrier and leadership contributor, offering thoughtful solutions, engaging in candid dialogue, and elevating company-wide performance.
• Jump in where needed—whether that’s riding along on a sales route, organizing inventory, or solving a last-minute issue.

What You Bring:

• 5 years of experience in sales, distribution, or operations leadership, preferably in CPG or beverage.
• Demonstrated success managing and motivating field or warehouse teams with measurable performance results.
• Strong command of Excel, NetSuite, and Encompass—with the ability to analyze performance, create executive-ready reporting, and build presentations.
• Proven ability to build and maintain customer relationships—from store managers to regional buyers.
• Commercial acumen: able to read the numbers, understand margin implications, and think like an owner.
• A mindset geared toward growth, self-development, and increased responsibility—you’re not just looking for a job, but a leadership path.
• Confident, direct communicator with the ability to manage up, down, and across.
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record.
• Knowledge of OSHA and warehouse safety standards.
• High integrity, self-starting, and a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality.

Perks & Benefits:
