    General Manager – Living Inspired

    Furniture & Bedding Division

    Location: Dublin, OH Employment Type: Full-Time, On-Site

    Reports To: Director, Living Inspired Division

    About Living Inspired Living Inspired is Big Sandy Superstore’s experience-led furniture and bedding division.

    Our mission is simple: make lives better by delivering thoughtful guidance, elevated service, and trusted relationships.

    For us, luxury is not defined by brand names or price points. Luxury is defined by confidence, continuity, expertise, and how people feel throughout the entire experience—especially when things are complex or imperfect.

    Living Inspired is launching as a pilot with intent to scale. This role plays a critical part in shaping how that experience comes to life in the market.

    Role Overview The General Manager of Living Inspired is responsible for bringing the division’s vision to life day-to-day—through relationships, judgment, and execution—while the business is still being built.

    This is a hands-on, builder-style leadership role inside an established organization. Early on, the General Manager will personally carry key relationships, deliver the Living Inspired experience, and help shape the structure and team as the division grows.

    This role operates with delegated authority under a clearly defined vision and values set by the Director of the Living Inspired Division. The General Manager’s responsibility is not to redefine the vision, but to steward it with integrity and make it real.

    How This Role Create Impact

    Living Inspired grows through three primary entry points:

    Designers

    Builders & Remodelers

    End-User Clients

    The General Manager initially works across all three, ensuring the experience feels intentional, trustworthy, and human, even while systems and processes are still evolving.

    As the business matures, this role helps identify when and how additional positions should be added—without sacrificing experience or relationships.

    Key Responsibilities

    Serve as the day-to-day leader of the Living Inspired furniture and bedding business

    Build and maintain trusted relationships with designers, trade partners, and end users

    Deliver an experience that creates confidence, not pressure

    Take immediate ownership of outcomes, including service recovery

    Translate vision into practical, real-world execution

    Learn quickly and adapt based on customer and partner feedback

    Help shape future roles, processes, and structure

    Model accountability, professionalism, and relationship-first leadership

    Partner closely with the Director of Living Inspired to ensure alignment

    What We're Looking for Required Qualities (Non-Negotiable) We are looking for someone who naturally demonstrates:

    A trust-building presence that puts people at ease

    Personal accountability—owning issues promptly and directly

    Strong judgment rooted in doing right by the customer

    Learning agility and curiosity

    Comfort operating without a finished playbook

    Emotional maturity and steadiness under pressure

    A relationship-first, long-term mindset

    These qualities matter more than industry tenure or brand familiarity.

    Experience & Skills (Developable)

    Experience in furniture, bedding, design, or another high-service environment is helpful

    Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities

    Business and financial awareness appropriate for a growing division

    Comfort building structure and clarity over time

    Leadership experience in a growth or build phase is a plus

    What This Role Is — and Is Not

    This role is:

    Experience-led, not brand-led

    Relationship-driven, not transactional

    Hands-on and people-facing

    Focused on confidence, trust, and long-term value

    This role is NOT:

    About selling labels or price points

    A finished-state general manager role

    A back-office or operations-only position

    A platform for redefining the vision independently

    Why Join Living Inspired?

    Clear mission and values, with strong leadership alignment

    Meaningful impact on customers and partners

    Ownership-minded culture aligned with Big Sandy’s ESOP structure
