Job Description
Summerfield Trading - General Manager
About Summerfield Trading
Summerfield Trading is a specialty procurement business providing white glove service to high-end clientele. We source and deliver premium plant material, outdoor furniture, and containers for design projects and clients across the country. With strong relationships with growers, nurseries, and vendors, we make sure the right products reach the right projects—on time and with the quality and care our clients expect.
We’ve built a solid foundation : a strong book of business, loyal clients, and trusted vendor partnerships, with the backing of Hoerr Schaudt, an award-winning national design firm. Now we’re ready to scale—expanding our client base, reaching new markets, and building a business that stands on its own in the marketplace.
That’s where you come in.
About the Role
We’re looking for a proven business builder—a General Manager with a track record of growing and scaling a business or division. This is a hands-on leadership role : you’ll set the roadmap for growth, lead a small but mighty team, refine our systems, and create new opportunities. You’ll work closely with the Executive Team but have the freedom to own the day-to-day and make your mark.
If you’ve built revenue streams, led teams, and successfully scaled a business from a strong foundation to the next level, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
Drive Growth & Strategy
- Own and execute the business plan to grow revenue by 30–50% over the next 3 years.
- Identify opportunities for new markets, partnerships, and offerings.
- Build and roll out sales and marketing strategies that attract new clients while deepening ties with existing ones.
- Track and respond to industry trends to keep Summerfield ahead of competitors.
Lead & Grow the Team
Run the Business
