About this role
"The best way to predict the future is to create it." — Peter Drucker
We aren't looking for a "caretaker" manager. We are looking for a Branch Manager with a CEO mentality. As the leader of this division, you will treat the branch as your own business. You will have the autonomy to drive the P&L, the responsibility to scale the operation, and the entrepreneurial grit to lead from the front—especially when it comes to prospecting and closing new deals. If you are a high-level strategist who still loves the "thrill of the hunt," this is your next move.
The Mission:
Your primary objective is the total profitability and expansion of the division. You will balance executive oversight with aggressive market development.
- Entrepreneurial Sales: You will spend 20% to 60% of your time in the field. We need a closer who can identify opportunities, build a pipeline, and secure new contract sales to grow the base by 20% or more.
- CEO Mentality: Prepare quarterly and annual projections, manage the full P&L (Revenue and SG&A), and take total ownership of the branch’s financial health.
- Operational Command: You ensure the "engine" is running smoothly. This includes supervising 1st-level managers, ensuring compliance with company systems, and maintaining a high-performance culture.
- Brand Ambassadorship: You are the face of the company. You’ll build name awareness through public relations, civic involvement (Chamber of Commerce, etc.), and high-level client retention strategies.
The Requirements
We hire leaders with a proven history of stability and growth. To succeed here, you need a rare blend of operational discipline and sales aggression.
Required Experience:
- The "2.5 Rule": A career history showing an average of at least 2.5 years per position, demonstrating your commitment to seeing a strategy through.
- Management Tenure: 2+ years supervising 1st-level managers and 6+ years of total professional business experience.
- Financial Mastery: Hands-on experience managing a P&L, including controlling direct and non-direct cost of sales.
- Industry Savvy: Deep knowledge of the B2B service industry and the ability to thrive in a "commodity" service environment.
- Education: 4-year degree and a valid driver’s license are required.
Preferred Industry Background:
- Experience in Janitorial or Landscape service sectors.
