We have made it our mission to source the highest quality open-box, overstocked, and scratch-and-dent products from the top brands - offering them to Canadians at up to 50% off. But we are not just about savings-we’re about changing how people shop. Say goodbye to paying full price and hello to smarter spending.\n We are seeking an experienced and highly disciplined General Manager to bring structure, standards, and consistent leadership to a busy transport and warehousing terminal. This role is responsible for establishing clear operating processes, improving accountability, mentoring supervisors and frontline teams, and driving operational performance across transport, and warehouse functions. The ideal candidate brings strong transport expertise, hands-on leadership capability, and the discipline to build a safe, compliant, KPI-driven operation in an environment that requires clearer processes and consistent day-to-day execution.\nKey Responsibilities\nOversee daily transport and warehouse operations to ensure efficiency, service reliability, and cost control. \nEstablish, track, and report on KPIs across transport and warehouse operations, including on-time delivery, cost per route, warehouse throughput, safety performance, SOP compliance, and service reliability. \nDrive performance improvement by identifying gaps, using data to address issues, setting clear action plans, and holding teams accountable for measurable results. \nImplement clear operating standards, SOPs, job descriptions, and accountability structures to bring consistency and discipline to terminal operations. \nLead and develop team members by setting clear expectations, reinforcing job responsibilities, coaching performance, and creating a culture of accountability. \nProvide hands-on mentorship to supervisors and frontline leaders, helping them develop the skills, confidence, and structure needed to manage teams effectively. \nDrive continuous improvement by standardizing workflows, improving planning routines, and strengthening process discipline across the terminal. \nMaintain full compliance with NSC, Hours of Service, OH&S, WHMIS, and all applicable transport and workplace regulations. \nLead warehouse safety programs, hazard assessments, equipment inspections, and incident investigations. \nManage budgets, resource allocation, maintenance planning, and operational cost controls. \nBuild strong relationships with customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders to support service excellence and business growth. \nQualifications\n7+ years of leadership experience in transport, logistics, or supply chain operations. \nStrong knowledge of transportation compliance, warehouse safety standards, and regulatory governance. \nExperience building structure, process discipline, and accountability in operations that have lacked formal procedures, clear job expectations, or consistent leadership routines. \nProven ability to manage KPIs and lead high-volume, fast-paced operations. \nExceptional leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. \nStrong computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, operational reporting tools, and the ability to learn and use transportation or warehouse management systems. \nStrong presentation skills, with the ability to prepare clear reports, communicate performance results, and present operational plans or improvement initiatives to leadership and team members. \nExperience managing multidisciplinary teams; multi-site experience is an asset. \nWhat Success Looks Like\nYou lead with discipline, consistency, and a hands-on approach to developing people and processes. You bring order to unclear environments by setting standards, defining expectations, coaching leaders, and holding teams accountable. Success in this role means building a safer, more structured, and more reliable terminal operation where employees understand their responsibilities and performance can be measured, managed, and improved.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4252,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Secondhand","Home Appliances"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T14:41:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.551,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":81,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/secondshop-general-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/secondshop-general-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T15:08:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20959,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":688368},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=688368"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsecondshop-general-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsecondshop-general-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsecondshop-general-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/secondshop-general-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsecondshop-general-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":747615}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"secondshop.ca","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":747615},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
