General Manager Trainee
About The Position
Mission Linen Supply is seeking experienced managers who want to bring their leadership skills into a new industry and build a long-term career. This is not an entry-level position; it is designed for mid-career and senior managers with a proven record of success. No industrial laundry experience is required because the company provides a structured, paid 30-week training program to teach the business from the ground up. Trainees rotate through key departments, work alongside senior management, receive regular progress reviews, and participate in company-sponsored management development workshops. After successful completion, trainees transition into a management position leading a Mission Linen Supply location and team, with preparation for responsibility over P&L, KPIs, sales strategy, and team performance. Candidates must be willing to relocate to manage a location within their first three years in the program; relocation is an ongoing expectation of this career path. The role offers a training-period base salary of $100,000–$110,000, depending on experience, education, and location. After training, base salary grows based on the revenue of the location led. Mission Linen Supply is a family-owned, privately held provider of linen, uniform, and facility service products across five western states.
