The Opportunity

Teamshares is searching for a President to lead Yankee Mattress Company, a long-standing mattress manufacturer and retailer in Western Massachusetts. The company builds premium, hand-made, custom mattresses and sells them across three retail locations and online.

This business has been part of the Teamshares network for five years. Sales have grown over the last two years, and it continues to sell high-quality mattresses to a loyal customer base. What it needs now is a leader who can continue its growth, while providing stability and building a healthy, lasting company culture.

The team has been through a lot of change and is ready for steady, consistent leadership. The right person will earn trust by showing up, supporting the Employee Owners, listening, and following through. You will bring clear structure, and build consensus in determining where the company goes next.

We are especially interested in candidates with experience in:

• Leading teams through change, building trust, and setting a company’s culture

• Multi-location retail, especially high-ticket or consultative sales

• Light manufacturing or production operations

• Mattress, bedding, furniture, or home furnishings industry experience

This is a full-time, onsite role based at the flagship store and its attached factory, with regular time at the other two showrooms.
