General Manager

Move It TN
Knoxville, TN Full Time
POSTED ON 10/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/6/2026

Move It TN is looking for an ambitious, trustworthy, and entrepreneurial General Manager to help lead and grow our moving company in both Knoxville and Chattanooga TN.


This is not a 8-5, M-F, sit-behind-a-desk management job. You’ll be involved in the business from the ground up—leading moving crews, helping close sales, building relationships, recruiting great people, and finding new ways to grow the company.

 

What You’ll Do

Lead and manage moving crews and help ensure every job is professional, efficient, and customer-focused (Project Management)

Work in the field and lift/move furniture alongside the team when needed (Ops Management)

Generate leads, build relationships, market Move It TN, and close new customers (Marketing)

Recruit and develop a reliable network of part-time movers (HR)

Build relationships with groups that can provide great employees—college organizations, churches, gyms, sports teams, friend groups, etc. (HR)

Help manage scheduling, staffing, customer relationships, and day-to-day operations

Identify opportunities to improve the business and increase revenue (Ops)

Take ownership of performance and help grow Move It TN into additional markets (Marketing)

 

Who We’re Looking For

We care more about character, work ethic, and ambition than having years of management experience.

 

The ideal candidate is:

Trustworthy and professional

Ambitious, willing, and comfortable talking to customers - just pass a Vibe check

Willing and able to do physical work

Competitive and goal-oriented

A natural leader who can earn the respect of a team

Comfortable with sales and networking

Entrepreneurial and interested in eventually running a business of their own

Recent college graduates are encouraged to apply. Someone who is active, works out, plays sports, is involved in a church or organization, and has a network in the community who would be good part-time employees could be an especially strong fit.

 

The Opportunity

This role is designed for someone who wants real entrepreneurial and management experience, not just another job.

There is significant earning potential tied to hitting clear, achievable goals. A strong performer can realistically earn $60,000–$70,000 in their first year, with opportunities for additional bonuses, a company pickup truck, and increased responsibility.

As the company grows, our bonus structure creates the potential to earn $100,000 annually in Year 2 and beyond, with the possibility of earning equity in the company for exceptional long-term performance.

If you're the kind of person who wants to build something rather than simply work for someone, this could be a great opportunity.


Trust. Professionalism. Hard work. Growth.


If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
