Do you want to run a business rather than simply manage one?

We're looking for a commercially driven General Manager to take full ownership of a profitable B2B e-commerce business serving the trade and construction sector.

With full P&L responsibility, you'll lead the commercial performance, customer experience, operations and future growth of the business. This is a genuine opportunity to shape strategy, make key commercial decisions and run the business with real autonomy.

Benefits

  • Up to £100,000 basic salary (depending on experience)
  • Uncapped profit share (realistic Year 1 OTE of £130,000–£150,000)
  • Company car or £750 per month car allowance
  • Pension with employer contributions matched up to 6%
  • Private healthcare
  • Life assurance
  • 25 days' annual leave, increasing with service
  • Genuine autonomy within a successful and growing business

The Role

  • Lead the overall performance of the B2B e-commerce business
  • Drive online sales, profitability and commercial growth
  • Manage trading performance, including revenue, margin and conversion
  • Improve the online customer journey and website performance
  • Work with external digital marketing partners to drive traffic, conversion and revenue
  • Lead, develop and motivate the team
  • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, profitability and long-term growth
  • Take full ownership of the P&L and overall business performance

About You

  • Experience leading a B2B e-commerce business or e-commerce division
  • Strong commercial acumen with P&L responsibility
  • A proven track record of growing online revenue and profitability
  • A hands-on, entrepreneurial leadership style
  • Experience within the trade, construction or industrial sectors would be advantageous, but isn't essential

Why Join?

This is a business where you'll be trusted to make decisions and lead with real autonomy. You'll have the backing of a successful, growing group while running the business as your own, with an uncapped profit share that directly rewards success.

If you're an ambitious commercial leader looking for the opportunity to grow a business- not just manage one - we'd love to hear from you. Apply today with your CV.
