Job Description:

Regional Operations Director – South Region (Transformational Leadership Opportunity)

Are you a driven, high-accountability leader who thrives in high-growth environments? Do you have a relentless focus on execution, a passion for operational excellence, and a gift for leading through change?

We’re scaling fast, expanding our footprint across the South, and we’re not looking for someone to “manage” that growth—we’re looking for someone to lead it. This is not a caretaker role. It’s a mission-critical opportunity for a transformational leader who sees operations not just as processes and KPIs, but as the engine that drives strategic success.

The Role.

As Regional Operations Director, you will take the reins of a dynamic and evolving region—one that’s poised for aggressive expansion and in need of a leader with vision, grit, and the ability to execute with precision. You’ll have full operational oversight across multiple sites, with a mandate to elevate performance, optimize systems, and build a culture of excellence and accountability.

This is a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up position for someone who knows how to build high-performing teams, drive operational transformation, and deliver exceptional outcomes—not just for the business, but for the people we serve.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading and inspiring a team of local managers and frontline professionals across the South.
• Driving strategic operational initiatives to support ambitious growth goals.
• Building scalable systems and workflows to enhance quality, efficiency, and service delivery.
• Partnering with senior leadership to identify and capitalize on opportunities for expansion and innovation.
• Cultivating a culture of ownership, clarity, and continuous improvement.
• Serving as the linchpin between corporate vision and field execution.

What We’re Looking For:

• A proven track record of leading multi-site operations in a service-led industry.
• Someone who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• A builder, not a babysitter—you know how to take the wheel and drive performance forward.
• A leader with emotional intelligence, executive presence, and the backbone to make hard calls.
• Experience managing complex operational challenges with clarity and decisiveness.
• A mindset rooted in ownership, excellence, and relentless improvement.

This is a role for a builder. A fixer. A transformer. If you’re ready to lead in a fast-growing, purpose-driven organization and help shape the future of our South region, we want to hear from you.

This is your chance to lead from the front. Are you ready?
