We need an (entrepreneurial) Manager...
...to run our social enterprise. Well-funded, Phoenix non-profit is seeking a hands-on General Manager to run our T-shirt business. This is currently a low-volume shop that, with management/vision, can surpass $1,000,000 in annual sales.

Your challenges:
* Grow the business by leveraging the non-profit parent’s community branding
* Develop a sales strategy: we will fund the hiring of a commissioned sales person.
* Coordinate and supervise production: staff of one production lead + one part-time employee. We will also add incremental workers, from our charity’s client base, as volume warrants.
* Be TOTALLY committed to customer service.
You will literally/figuratively get your hands dirty.
We offer a competitive base salary and a success-based bonus plan as well as full benefits.
To apply please send us an email, in 250 words or less, describing why you are qualified. We don’t want a “cover letter”; your email is the first interview - so…be creative, but truthful about your capabilities
