Branch Manager

About the role

You are the CEO of your branch — the local leader who owns the P&L, builds the team, and decides what winning looks like in your market. You'll have the autonomy to run hard, the backing of a shared services platform built for $150MM in revenue, and a clear runway to grow something that's actually yours to lead.

What You'll Own

• The P&L: Revenue, margin, growth is yours. You'll set the local plan, defend the budget, and answer for the number. We don't hide behind shared overhead, and neither will you.
• The Customer Base: You'll drive growth across design-build, maintenance, enhancements, and snow — expanding accounts, winning new ones, and making sure every client gets a reason to stay. Your sales team, your estimating quality, your retention numbers.
• The Operation: Jobs delivered on time, on budget, and to a standard you're proud to put your name on. You'll lead crew deployment, equipment utilization, quality, and safety — walking jobs, asking hard questions, and closing the gaps before they cost you.
• The Team: Sales, ops, admin, and field — all reporting to you. You'll recruit, develop, coach, and hold the bar. The crew leaders and foremen who grow into the next generation of leaders? That's your scoreboard too.
• The Culture: Safety-first, results-driven, no excuses. You set the tone. People follow leaders who are clear about where they're going and why it matters.

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• You know your numbers cold — and they're moving in the right direction.
• Your team is stronger than the one you inherited, with a real bench underneath.
• Clients are calling you back, not the other way around.
• Safety, quality, and job-cost discipline are non-negotiables on your branch.
• You're seen as a partner — not a passenger — at the regional leadership table.

Who We're Looking For

• You've run something before. You've carried a P&L, missed a number, learned from it, and hit the next one. You know what it takes to lead a field-based business — the early mornings, the weather days, the people problems, the wins that come from a team that actually trusts each other. You likely bring:
• 7–10+ years in landscaping, construction, or field-based branch operations, with at least 3 years leading a team
• A real track record of P&L ownership, team building, and customer growth
• Working command of job costing, scheduling, estimating, and crew management
• Comfort with business systems (Aspire or similar ERP, Microsoft 365, CRM tools)
• Strong communication skills — with crews in the yard and executives in the boardroom
• A bachelor's degree is a plus, but field and management experience carry equal weight

What You Probably Are

• Competitive — you want to win, and you want the scoreboard visible
• Direct — you'd rather have the hard conversation than the polite one
• Builder-minded — you see what a branch could be, not just what it is today
• Ownership-driven — when something breaks, you don't look around for who's going to fix it
