General Manager

General Manager - Profit Centre Lead / Head of Sales, £75,000 basic + Significant Guarantee | £130,000+ package | Profit Share, Executive Company Car | Bupa | 6% Pension, Milton Keynes. As General Manager, you'll take full responsibility for turnover, margin, operating costs and long-term growth strategy. This is full P&L ownership of a £9m+ standalone profit centre within a £1bn+ group.

Operating within a decentralised, entrepreneurial structure, you will have genuine authority to:

\n
• Set and deliver growth strategy
\n
• Own and drive the P&L
\n
• Accelerate B2B sales performance
\n
• Strengthen global supplier relationships
\n
• Build and develop a high-performing team
\n
• Optimise operations and governance
\n

This is leadership with teeth - autonomy, commercial freedom, and a direct link between performance and reward.

What Success Looks Like

\n
• Year-on-year growth in turnover and margin
\n
• Delivery against forecast commitments
\n
• Strong supplier partnerships
\n
• Increased B2B market share
\n
• Operational excellence (OTIF, stock, service)
\n
• A driven, accountable leadership team
\n

About You

You're commercially sharp and ownership-led.

You likely bring:

\n
• Proven experience owning and growing a P&L
\n
• Strong B2B commercial leadership background
\n
• Strategic thinking with operational grip
\n
• Supplier negotiation experience at a senior level
\n
• Track record of driving margin and revenue growth
\n
• Experience leading and developing teams
\n

The Package

\n
• £70,000 basic salary
\n
• Significant Guarantee (Year one)
\n
• £130,000+ Package
\n
• Profit Share linked to performance
\n
• Executive company car
\n
• Bupa private healthcare
\n
• 6% pension contribution
\n
• High autonomy within a £1bn+ group structure
\n

Why This Role Stands Out

This is ideal for a commercially ambitious leader who wants real ownership-not corporate restrictions. You'll operate with entrepreneurial freedom, backed by group support and infrastructure. High autonomy. High accountability. High reward.
