Descripción del empleo

The General Manager is the business leader responsible for the overall success of a Flex Moving & Storage market.

The GM operates as the owner of their local market, accountable for bringing together demand, conversion, capacity, customer experience, flexer experience and economics to create sustainable and profitable growth.

Rather than owning only one function, the GM takes an end-to-end view of the business and works across Sales, Operations, Recruiting, Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Experience to ensure their market performs as a complete system.

The Five Pillars of Market Success

1. Demand — Generate Sufficient Local Demand

Build Flex’s presence and demand within the local market.

• Develop local partnerships that generate moving and delivery opportunities.
• Build relationships with apartment communities, real estate professionals, storage operators, property managers, home-service companies, employers, and other relevant organizations.
• Establish Flex as an active member of the local business community through organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and other market-specific groups.
• Identify local events, organizations, referral sources, and community opportunities that can generate awareness and demand.
• Develop and manage a local partnership pipeline.
• Provide Marketing with local competitive intelligence, opportunities, and market insights.
• Understand where Flex customers are geographically concentrated and identify opportunities to increase density.

2. Conversion — Turn Demand Into Customers

Understand the local customer and competitive environment and help Flex win more of the opportunities it generates.

• Monitor market-level conversion and identify meaningful changes or trends.
• Understand local competitors, pricing, promotions, service offerings, reviews, and positioning.
• Conduct and maintain competitor price shopping and market intelligence.
• Provide Sales and Marketing with insight into what resonates with customers in the market.
• Identify local opportunities to improve offers, messaging, pricing, promotions, and customer experience.
• Understand cancellation drivers and partner with Sales and Operations to improve retained bookings.
• Surface customer feedback and competitive intelligence to company leadership.

The GM does not replace centralized Sales; the GM provides the local intelligence and leadership necessary to help centralized Sales win within the market.

3. Capacity — Fulfill Demand Reliably at Scale

Ensure the market has sufficient supply to fulfill the demand Flex creates.

• Maintain adequate mover and driver supply based on forecasted demand.
• Create the feedback loop between Flexers in your market and the company, advocating for Flexers in company decision-making.
• Partner with Recruiting to identify upcoming labor needs and proactively build capacity.
• Ensure appropriate vehicle availability.
• Monitor fulfillment rates, crew availability, scheduling constraints, and peak-period capacity.
• Improve on-time performance and operational reliability.
• Develop contingency plans for call-outs, vehicle shortages, demand spikes, and other capacity disruptions.
• Ensure growth does not exceed the market's ability to deliver a consistently strong customer experience.

4. Experience — Create Advocates

Ensure customers receive an experience that creates trust, positive reviews, referrals, and repeat demand.

• Own the market's customer experience outcomes.
• Drive review volume, review rate, review velocity, and overall rating.
• Monitor complaints, claims, service failures, refunds, and other indicators of customer dissatisfaction.
• Identify recurring service issues and drive corrective action.
• Ensure effective service recovery when problems occur.
• Build a local culture where crews understand that every move affects Flex’s reputation and future demand.
• Increase repeat and referral business through consistently strong execution.

5. Economics — Operate a Healthy Business

Manage the market as a complete economic system rather than optimizing individual functions independently.

• Own market performance against revenue and profitability objectives.
• Understand the primary drivers of market economics, including revenue, AOV, labor, vehicle costs, acquisition costs, discounts, utilization, fulfillment, and customer acquisition efficiency.
• Identify opportunities to improve contribution margin and market profitability.
• Balance demand and capacity to maximize utilization without compromising customer experience.
• Partner with the SVP, Revenue, Finance, Marketing, Sales, and Operations to develop and execute market plans.
• Make recommendations based on what produces the strongest overall market economics rather than optimizing a single metric.

Geographic Density

A core component of the Flex market strategy is building density.

The GM should work toward creating an ecosystem in which customers, movers, drivers, vehicles, partners, and Flex resources are geographically concentrated.

The long-term objective is to move toward having Flex resources within approximately 5 miles of every customer wherever practical.

Increasing density should help Flex:

• Improve response and arrival times
• Increase fulfillment reliability
• Improve crew and vehicle utilization
• Reduce cost to serve
• Strengthen local partnerships
• Improve customer experience
• Generate more reviews, referrals, and organic demand

The GM should therefore think about geography not simply as coverage, but as a strategic advantage.

The GM is expected to know the health of their market and be able to clearly answer:

What is happening?

Why is it happening?

What are we doing about it?

Who owns the action?

When should we expect improvement?

The GM will participate in regular market operating reviews and maintain clear action plans against the market's highest-priority opportunities.

Measures of Success

• Revenue and growth
• Contribution margin / market profitability
• Demand generation
• Local partnership growth
• Conversion
• Cancellation / retained booking performance
• Recruiting and crew availability
• Vehicle availability and utilization
• Review volume, velocity, and rating
• Geographic density
• Repeat and referral demand

What Great Looks Like

Their ultimate responsibility is straightforward:

Generate sufficient demand. Convert it efficiently. Fulfill it reliably. Create customers who advocate for Flex. And do it all with attractive unit economics.
