About The Company

The company is a private equity-backed platform rapidly scaling across the U.S. residential services market through a strong blend of organic growth and M&A. The firm has grown into the billions in enterprise value. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact GM role at one of the most profitable branches in the entire portfolio—positioned to double in size.

The Opportunity

This is not a figurehead leadership role. You’ll be given full operational ownership of a $20M+ business with direct control over revenue drivers, P&L, team development, and culture. The next 24–36 months will involve significant M&A, talent development, and service expansion—this is your chance to make a tangible impact on hundreds of lives, while accelerating your leadership track toward broader regional or executive opportunities.

• Own full P&L and operational results for a top-tier branch

• Lead a 60-person team across sales, field operations, and customer service

• Build a best-in-class service culture focused on employee retention and customer satisfaction

• Develop new leaders and scale systems to support rapid revenue growth

• Represent the brand in the community and build high-impact partnerships

• Drive performance through metrics, accountability, and purpose-driven leadership

What You’ll Do

Leadership & Culture

• Inspire and manage a team of 60+ including 4 direct reports

• Build a performance-driven, blue-collar-positive culture with high eNPS

• Lead from the front with charisma, grit, and a service-oriented mindset

• Create career paths and mentorship structures to retain top talent

Operational Excellence

• Track and improve KPIs: revenue, close rate, average ticket, retention, and NPS

• Implement training programs that drive 5-star service and field execution

• Leverage tools like Excel, PowerPoint, and ServiceTitan to monitor operations

Strategic Growth

• Lead M&A integrations and prepare the business for doubling revenue

• Own strategic initiatives that expand service offerings and geographic footprint

• Manage business levers directly—no red tape between you and impact

You’d Be a Great Fit If You Have:

• Prior leadership experience in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment

• Experience managing a P&L (or strong financial acumen and desire to own one)

• Deep respect for the skilled trades or a desire to serve that community

• Strong communication, critical thinking, and organizational ability

• A natural ability to inspire “followership” and build teams people want to be on

• Backgrounds we love: Veterans (especially officers or small-unit leaders), D1 athletes, consultants, or operational leaders from companies with $15M+ P&Ls

Bonus Points For:

• MBA or finance background (undergrad or professional experience)

• Exposure to trade services, or blue-collar industries

• Previous experience in private equity-backed or roll-up business models
