Company Information
When Scott and Ally Svenson founded MOD Pizza in 2008, they knew the last thing the world needed was another pizza place. In their hometown of Seattle, they imagined a new way for people to enjoy pizza, by bringing speed, individual style, and value to one of America’s favorite foods. But the real secret sauce wouldn’t be the product, it would be the people who serve our communities — the MOD Squad. By taking care of employees, they would take care of the guests, and the business would take care of itself. It’s how we’ve built a culture of opportunity, belonging, and community for the past 13 years, and it’s catching on wholeheartedly.

General Manager Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a general manager in Colorado?
Colorado does not require a state-issued license to work as a general manager in most industries, so the path runs through education and experience rather than a licensing board. Most employers look for a bachelor's degree in business, hospitality, or a related field combined with several years of supervisory experience in the relevant sector. In regulated industries like food service, Colorado requires a certified food protection manager credential issued through a state-approved provider.
How much do general managers make in Colorado?
General managers in Colorado earn a median of about $131,840 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $65,310 for the lowest 10% to over $305,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire general managers in Colorado?
Employers hiring general managers in Colorado right now include Best Pizza, Domino's, and Vail Resorts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's mix of large hospitality groups, multi-unit retailers, and energy sector operators creates consistent general manager demand well beyond the Denver metro.
Which Colorado cities have the most general manager jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Greeley account for the largest share of general manager openings in Colorado. Denver dominates because of its density of corporate headquarters, hotel and restaurant groups, and multi-unit retail operations, while Colorado Springs draws on its large military and healthcare employer base and Boulder supports a strong mix of tech-adjacent and independent hospitality brands.
Are there remote general manager jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. General manager roles are inherently on-site because the work involves direct oversight of staff, facilities, and daily operations. About 0% of general manager openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to be in corporate support or multi-unit oversight roles where travel replaces a single fixed location rather than traditional office-from-home arrangements.
How can I get hired as a general manager in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving up from an assistant manager or shift supervisor role within the same company. Large Colorado employers in hospitality and retail, including regional hotel groups and multi-unit restaurant chains headquartered along the Front Range, regularly promote from within and post management trainee programs that lead to a general manager title within one to three years. A certified food protection manager credential strengthens candidates pursuing restaurant or food service roles and signals readiness for compliance responsibilities from day one.
