Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.
This is an opportunity to run operations — and potentially much more depending on the interests of the candidate — at a wood furniture manufacturing business in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Backstory
Revolution Furnishings was acquired by the current owner and president Greg Bettencourt in 2015. After a few choppy Covid years, it has more recently doubled revenue and is poised for much more growth.
What was once a regional furniture wholesaler now has a robust local D2C offering and counts big national retailers among its customers, including Room & Board.
About the Company
The company has 25 employees, with 4 of them in the front office.
The manufacturing facility is 40,000 square feet with an attached showroom of 3,000 square feet. The facility is capable of substantially more production than current operations dictate.
The company hierarchy is still flat, but more structure and a management layer will likely prove beneficial.
The Role
Greg needs someone to take over operations, allowing him to focus on growing sales and product development. Five team leads will report to this hire.
But while the day-to-day functioning of the business will be the highest priority, the ideal candidate would also lean strategic, collaborating with leadership on long-term projects.
Indeed, over time this role could grow into being president of the business and even potentially acquiring it from Greg and his family.
Compensation
This is not a mature business but still a growth story, and the compensation package reflects that. It will be strongly anchored to growing the business, meaning a modest base and aggressive performance incentives tied to profitability.
Requirements & Background
A background in finance, manufacturing, or engineering would be beneficial, but this business is learnable by anyone with a great attitude and strategic thinking skills.
Grinding through the frustrations and challenges of running a small business is a big part of this role, as well as the ability to work well with people from a variety of backgrounds.
