What are the responsibilities and job description for the Showroom Manager - Orlando (You Run It by Day 120) position at GEM Supply Company?
Description
Most "manager" jobs are assistant jobs with a better title. This one isn't.
We're handing one person the keys to our Orlando showroom. You'll train shoulder to shoulder with company leadership for four months. Then it's yours: the sales floor, the inventory, the schedule, and a service technician who reports to you.
Not assist. Not co-manage. Run it.
ABOUT GEM SUPPLY
GEM Supply is a family-owned janitorial and cleaning supply company that's been taking care of customers since 1930. Our Orlando megastore is where cleaning contractors, schools, property managers, restaurants, and facility teams come to shop products, see equipment run, and get their machines serviced. We're growing across Florida — Orlando, Tampa/Clearwater, Ocala, Jacksonville, and Miami — and we invest heavily in the people who make that growth happen.
At GEM Supply, we take pride in being a family-owned company with deep roots in the communities we serve. Our team is built on people who show up, execute, and take care of customers the right way.
