About the Role:
Regional GMs report directly to Nevoya’s CEO and are fully accountable for the success of their region. This role owns the P&L and the day-to-day operations across California. The Regional GM is responsible for ensuring profitability, drivers are supported, dispatch is running smoothly, loads are covered, customers are satisfied, and issues are resolved in real time.
This is a deeply hands-on leadership role. Regional GMs must understand how the operation actually runs, including how drivers experience their day, how dispatch decisions impact utilization and service, and how loads move from planning through execution.

Regional GMs operate as the functional CEO of their region.
