General Managers act as a liaison between a company’s upper management and the front-facing employees who work directly with clients and customers. Rather than working closely with clients, General Managers focus on high-level functions that improve the company as a whole, such as developing new business processes to make the day-to-day duties of the team easier. They work at restaurants, retail outlets, offices and other businesses to ensure their team executes all business functions successfully. General Managers often oversee finances and budgeting, staffing processes, policies, regulation enforcement, solutions for company issues and problem-solving when issues arise.
