General Manager

About the Role

Crawlspace Medic is the leading franchise in the crawl space and basement repair industry. This opportunity offers a unique path to franchise ownership without requiring upfront capital. Investors—current franchisees—fund the market, and you run it: managing people, P&L, and performance. As the business grows and hits its numbers, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchisee. You’ll start on a base salary with uncapped profit share, directly tied to market performance.

This is a performance-driven path to ownership, designed for individuals who want to build and own a business in their community.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage all aspects of the franchise, including sales, team coaching, and operational performance.
• Conduct inspections and hands-on work (e.g., crawling under houses) until a capable team is built.
• Recruit, develop, and retain strong employees while enforcing standard operating procedures.
• Drive measurable results in a process-driven, labor-intensive environment.
• Handle sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level.
• Maintain full accountability for results, including addressing challenges proactively.

Requirements

• Track record of leading teams to measurable results in a process-driven, labor-intensive environment.
• Experience building or enforcing standard operating procedures.
• Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain strong people.
• Discipline to address hard conversations early and maintain accountability.
• Understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level.
• Comfort with full accountability for results and a hunger for feedback.
• Grit to operate under pressure without losing focus.

Physical Demands

• Ability to crawl on hands and knees, belly-crawl through tight, dark spaces, and maneuver in confined areas.
• Willingness to handle light hand tools and perform physically demanding tasks.

Benefits

• Full-time, W-2, salary-exempt position.
• Base salary + uncapped profit sharing.
• Company vehicle provided.
• 2 weeks paid time off (PTO).
• Hands-on training and leadership development path.

Pay

Earnings potential for top performers:

• Year 1: ~$85,000
• Year 2: ~$100,000–$110,000
• Year 3: ~$125,000–$135,000

Additional long-term value comes from ownership stake once the investor is bought out.

Who Thrives Here

This role is ideal for individuals with diverse backgrounds—veterans, ministry leaders, equipment sales reps, former athletes, and more—who demonstrate:

• Servant-hearted leadership and a willingness to do the work before delegating.
• Grit to be the last line of accountability when challenges arise.
• A desire to build and own a business in their community.
