About the Company

This is a fast-growing, private equity-backed residential services platform operating across multiple brands and trades. With strong team leadership, proven systems, and strategic support already in place, this is an opportunity to step into a mature operation and take it to the next level.

The Opportunity

If you're looking to take on full P&L ownership in a business with real momentum, this is your shot. You'll lead a highly visible, multi-brand service operation with support from a successful former GM who grew the business and is now in a senior leadership role. This position offers immediate impact and long-term upside, with clear potential to advance into higher-level regional or enterprise roles.

What You’ll Do

Team & Culture Leadership

• Lead and develop a team of employees across trades

• Foster a purpose-driven, blue-collar culture that drives performance and retention

• Recruit, develop, and mentor high-character leaders and technicians

Business Growth & P&L Ownership

• Own a $10M+ P&L and execute growth strategies

• Deliver 10–15% annual organic growth through operational rigor and customer excellence

• Drive key KPIs: revenue, conversion %, average invoice, maintenance plans, and eNPS

Operational Execution

• Oversee daily operations across service, install, dispatch, and customer experience

• Maintain “Five-Star Service” standards through coaching, metrics, and accountability

• Leverage tools like ServiceTitan to manage performance and drive decision-making

Local Market Engagement

• Represent the business in the community through hiring, branding, and customer engagement

• Build local partnerships and develop market-specific strategies for continued growth

• Be the face of a mission-driven service organization rooted in purpose and excellence

You’d Be a Great Fit If You Have:

• Leadership experience managing teams in high-tempo environments (Military or private sector)

• Strong organizational, financial, and communication skills

• Experience managing or influencing a $15M+ P&L

• Ability to connect with and lead blue-collar teams with empathy and accountability

• Strategic mindset with a bias for action and a passion for winning

Bonus Points For:

• Service industry or trades experience (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.)

• Familiarity with ServiceTitan or similar field ops software

• Bachelor’s degree or MBA

• Prior military service with leadership responsibilities (O-3 or above, E-7 or above ideal)

• Track record of developing and growing high-performing teams

Why This Role Stands Out

• Step into a proven, high-functioning business — not a turnaround

• Direct mentorship from a senior leader who built the business and wants you to win

• High-visibility, high-autonomy role with clear path to promotion within 2–3 years

• Live and work in the Hartford region — family-friendly with top schools and great quality of life

• Join a high-integrity leadership team that values grit, humility, and performance
