Job Description

Regional Manager – Multi-Unit Retail Operations, based out of Knoxville, TN

Lead Leaders. Drive Performance. Shape the Future.

Are you a proven multi-unit operator who thrives on building teams, owning results, and creating a culture of accountability?

We're seeking a Regional Manager to oversee a large portfolio of retail locations, lead a team of District Managers, and drive operational excellence across an entire region. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who knows how to balance people, performance, and profitability.

If you're energized by coaching leaders, improving operations, and delivering measurable business results, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Own

📈 Full P&L responsibility across a region of stores

👥 Lead, coach, and develop District Managers and future organizational leaders

🚀 Drive sales growth, labor optimization, inventory control, and profitability

🔍 Analyze business metrics and take decisive action to improve performance

⭐ Champion a best-in-class customer experience across every location

🛡️ Ensure compliance with operational, food safety, and company standards

🏪 Lead field execution, store visits, audits, and operational improvement initiatives

🤝 Partner with executive leadership to implement strategic growth initiatives

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of multi-unit leadership experience in retail, convenience, restaurant, grocery, or similar environments
• Proven success leading leaders and managing large teams
• Strong financial acumen with experience owning multi-location P&Ls
• Experience improving labor efficiency, sales growth, shrink reduction, and operational performance
• Ability to influence, coach, and hold teams accountable
• Comfortable spending significant time in the field supporting operations
• Data-driven decision maker who can turn insights into action
•  

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• ✅ Executive-level visibility and influence
• ✅ Opportunity to shape the success of an entire region
• ✅ Lead high-performing District Managers and develop future leaders
• ✅ Fast-paced, growth-oriented environment
• ✅ Significant autonomy and ownership
• ✅ Make a measurable impact on people, performance, and profitability

Who Will Thrive Here?

• You're not a leader who manages from behind a desk.
• You're visible in the field. You build strong teams. You coach, challenge, and develop leaders. You know how to drive results while creating a culture people want to be part of.
• You understand that sustainable success comes from developing great leaders and executing them relentlessly.
