General Manager – Electronics Recycling Franchise
Full-Time | Base + Performance Incentives
The Woodlands, TX

We are hiring a hands-on General Manager to lead the daily operations of an electronics recycling franchise. This is a true mini-CEO role with ownership over people, process, and performance — from sourcing inbound electronics through community and business partners, to warehouse operations, resale, and scrap recovery.

Essential Functions

  • Manage inbound pickups and partnerships (municipalities, businesses, junk haulers, community orgs)
  • Oversee warehouse flow: intake, sorting, testing, resale vs. scrap decisions
  • Lead resale operations (pricing, listings, shipping accuracy) and scrap recovery
  • Partner with carriers (UPS/USPS/FedEx) and downstream recyclers
  • Lead, train, and hold accountable a small operations team
  • Own weekly KPIs: revenue, margin, throughput, inventory, safety, and data handling
  • Improve systems, layout, and processes to keep materials moving efficiently
  • Provide clear reporting to the franchise owner and escalate issues early

Competencies / Requirements

  • 2–5+ years of operations leadership experience (warehouse, logistics, recycling, resale, manufacturing, or similar)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with strong ownership mentality
  • Proven people management experience (hiring, training, performance management)
  • Comfortable owning KPIs and running day-to-day operations independently
  • Basic to intermediate understanding of financials and projections (revenue, margin, labor vs. output)
  • Tech-comfortable (inventory systems, dashboards, eCommerce tools a plus)
  • Valid driver’s license; ability to lift and move materials as needed
  • Flexible schedule to support pickups, shipping days, and peak volume

Nice to Have (Not Required)

  • Experience with e-waste, recycling, resale, or scrap operations
  • Familiarity with eBay, Amazon, or other resale platforms
  • Forklift or warehouse equipment experience
