A systems-builder's role. Full operational authority, a disciplined operating framework already in place, and a company scaling fast enough to demand the best version of your thinking.

WHAT YOU WILL BUILD

Operating cadence: Own the leadership team rhythm -- meeting cadence, goal accountability, performance scorecards, and issue resolution from identification to close.

Execution architecture: Translate the CEO's strategic priorities into operational plans with clear ownership, measurable outcomes, and timelines that hold.

Process infrastructure: Identify gaps in workflow, process, and org structure. Build systems that perform under pressure and improve over time, not workarounds that decay.

Financial visibility: Maintain a precise view of operational and financial performance. Partner with finance on accurate reporting and disciplined cost management.

Leadership development: Develop direct reports through structured feedback and clear expectations. Accountability through competence, not proximity.

THE PROFILE WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You do not accept a conclusion until you have asked the next question. You build things that hold up, and you find broken systems more interesting than comfortable ones.

• 10+ years of progressive leadership with at least 5 years running operations across multiple departments
• Track record in a structured, accountable environment: EOS, or a comparable operating framework you can demonstrate
• Background in construction, restoration, or commercial field-based services preferred
• Strong financial acumen with direct P&L ownership and data-driven performance management
• Experience scaling through dramatic growth: revenue and complexity both multiplied, and your systems kept pace
• Comfortable standing up new markets, offices, and teams as geographic footprint expands
• M&A experience as both acquirer and acquired; you understand the operational and cultural work that makes integrations succeed

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

Real authority: Full operational ownership across departments. Not a coordinator. Not a liaison. The operating anchor.

Direct access: You will work directly with the CEO. The Visionary/Integrator model is how this company is designed to run.

Infrastructure mandate: You are not inheriting a finished machine. You are building the systems that do not yet exist.

Substantive problems: Multi-state complexity, rapid expansion, and M&A integration work. The difficulty is the point.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

$280,000 - $300,000 annually, depending on experience

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid life insurance
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Paid time off and sick leave
• Optional accident and critical illness insurance
• Employee assistance program
