Specialized Recruiting for the Shooting Industry

HeadHunters NW, the premier executive recruiting firm focused exclusively and deliberately on talent acquisition for the shooting, hunting, and outdoor industry, is seeking to fill a unique General Manager role in the archery hunting industry, located in Montrose, PA.

“This General Manager opening is perfect for the avid archery and big game hunter,” said HeadHunters NW President Shaylene Keiner. “Wouldn’t it be amazing to follow that passion into your career by playing a pivotal role in building an unparalleled archery establishment and experience designed for hunters worldwide?” she asked.

“As the GM, you would be involved from the top down in building a team that harnesses your experience as an outdoor store manager and archery enthusiast for the modern hunter,” said Keiner. “This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where you can grow, learn, and expand your network in the outdoor industry. Plus, you will take part in creating the vision for a VIP-style experience for each customer who walks through the door. The destination business will also encompass a brewpub, shooting ranges, and events.”

The retail store will house a 10-lane, 100-foot 3D range and a 50-foot paper target range for the setup and tuning of customers’ bows. “This is your chance to build a loyal customer base who understands how committed you and your staff are to the hunting lifestyle,” Keiner said.

The GM role requires leadership, team management, and collaboration to shape relationships with top industry-related companies. The candidate will build inventory, influence marketing direction, manage events, and cultivate the services provided through the destination experience. “If you’ve ever had a calling for creating the ultimate archery destination, this is your chance!” she said. “Grab your gear and follow the trail to Pennsylvania.”
