General Manager – Distribution & Contract Packing Operations

Cochran, GA (Relocation Available) $100,000-$120,000 Salary Full-Time | Executive Leadership Opportunity

Gilmer Warehouse & Logistics is seeking a strategic, results-driven General Manager to lead one of our largest and most visible operations in Cochran, Georgia. This leader will oversee a 500,000 sq. ft. distribution and contract packaging facility, manage operations supporting 7 customer accounts, and drive performance across warehouse, production, inventory, safety, quality, and customer service functions.

Reporting to the Operations Director, this is a high-impact leadership opportunity with significant visibility across the organization and a clear path for future growth. Located approximately 40 minutes from corporate headquarters, this operation is a critical part of Gilmer's continued expansion. Candidates must live in or relocate to the greater Cochran, Georgia area.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

✅ Executive-level leadership role with full operational responsibility

✅ Own the performance of a 500,000 sq. ft. facility serving multiple major customers

✅ Full P&L ownership and direct impact on profitability and growth

✅ High visibility with senior leadership and future advancement potential

✅ Opportunity to develop leaders, build culture, and drive operational excellence

✅ Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate

What You'll Do

• Lead all warehouse, contract packaging, shipping, receiving, and inventory operations.

• Own site-level financial performance including budgeting, forecasting, cost control, labor management, and margin improvement.

• Lead and develop managers, supervisors, and frontline teams while creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

• Ensure exceptional customer service while balancing operational execution and profitability.

• Drive safety, quality, inventory accuracy, compliance, and operational excellence across the facility.

• Utilize KPIs and data-driven decision making to improve productivity, efficiency, and overall business performance.

• Partner with Finance, Sales, Supply Chain, Quality, Maintenance, and customer stakeholders to support business growth.

What We're Looking For

• Proven General Manager, Plant Manager, Distribution Center Manager, or senior operations leadership experience.

• Demonstrated success owning facility P&L performance and improving profitability.

• Experience leading large-scale warehouse, logistics, contract packaging, manufacturing, or supply chain operations.

• Strong labor planning, workforce management, and operational execution skills.

• Hands-on leader with a strong floor presence and sense of urgency.

• Proven ability to develop managers, build high-performing teams, and hold teams accountable.

• Experience driving change, implementing process improvements, and leading through growth.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Operations, Supply Chain, Business, Logistics, Engineering, or a related field preferred.

• 5+ years of senior leadership experience in warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, distribution, co-pack, or CPG environments.

• Experience with WMS, ERP systems, OSHA, GMP, HACCP, SQF, and inventory management.

• Food-grade, beverage, consumer packaged goods, or contract packaging experience strongly preferred.

Take Ownership. Drive Results. Build the Future.

This is more than a General Manager role. It's an opportunity to lead a critical operation, influence business performance, develop future leaders, and play a key role in Gilmer's continued growth.

If you're ready for a high-visibility leadership position with significant impact, we encourage you to apply today.
