# General Manager - Arboras

> Space Inch · Nashville, United States (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-27

**Salary:** USD 80,000–110,000

**Workplace:** hybrid

## Description

We are looking for a **General Manager** for our Nashville-based client **Arboras** - a high-growth two-sided marketplace connecting nursery suppliers to landscapers. The company also operates a local stockyard to manage select inventory directly and is building a repeatable model designed for expansion into additional regional markets.

**Arboras** seeks an **entrepreneurial, well-rounded General Manager (GM)** to professionalize operations, build internal systems, and help develop a scalable business model. Initially, the founder will continue to lead sales, key accounts, and grower relationships while the GM focuses on **finance, CRM, reporting, systems, and day-to-day execution**.

Extensive horticultural knowledge is not required. The GM will enter a structured transitional period alongside the founder to learn the complete Arboras model — including sales, sourcing, pricing, plant material, procurement, fulfillment, customer relationships, and logistics. Responsibility and authority will expand as knowledge and competency develop.

Long term, this role is intended to **grow beyond internal operations**. Once the GM understands the business and helps establish a repeatable operating and sales system, the opportunity includes taking greater ownership of sales leadership, team development, and ultimately helping launch and lead Arboras in new regional markets.

_Candidates who don't reside in the Nashville area won't be taken into consideration._

## Requirements

-   **Experience**: 3–4+ years in operations, finance, sales, logistics, startup management, marketplace operations, business management, or a related field.

-   **Core Skills**: Strong organizational ability, business and financial literacy, comfort with CRM and technology, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

-   **Mindset**: Proactive, entrepreneurial problem-solver with strong communication and relationship-building skills, commercial instincts, and the ability to learn quickly and grow into broader leadership.
-   **Bonus**: Background in landscaping, agriculture, logistics, distribution, sales, or multi-location businesses is helpful, but not required.

### Key Responsibilities

-   **Finance & Reporting**: Oversee financial reporting and accounting coordination, including invoicing, AP/AR, cash flow, margins, and performance tracking.
-   **Systems & Processes**: Build and maintain CRM tools, reporting systems, SOPs, and accountability processes that make the business easier to manage and scale.
-   **Operations & Technology**: Coordinate order fulfillment, logistics, stockyard visibility, and internal technology while improving day-to-day execution and efficiency.
-   **Sales & Commercial Development**: Learn the Arboras sales process alongside the founder and help build a repeatable sales and account-management system, with the opportunity to take increasing ownership as the role develops.
-   **Growth & Market Expansion**: Help create a model that can be replicated beyond Nashville and, as experience and responsibility grow, participate in and potentially lead new-market launches, team development, strategic partnerships, and future expansion.

### Compensation & Application

Competitive base salary **(80,000-110,000 USD/year** depending on experience and skills**)** with performance-based bonuses tied to revenue growth and operational milestones.

To apply, submit a **resume and a brief cover note outlining your interest in helping build, operate, and expand a growing marketplace business**.
