• Manage team performance end‑to‑end, including hiring, training, coaching, performance management, and when necessary, making termination decisions.
• Improve operational efficiency and customer throughput, ensuring workflows, staffing, and productivity support a high‑performing operation.
• Engage directly with customers, building trust, resolving concerns, and delivering a high‑quality experience that drives long‑term loyalty.
• Support the financial performance of the business, using operational metrics and performance data to improve team productivity, sales execution, and customer satisfaction.
• Leverage technology and operational systems to track performance, monitor key metrics, and ensure operational consistency.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience leading teams in a customer‑facing environment, with responsibility for driving performance and accountability.
• Strong sales leadership skills, including experience coaching teams to improve revenue performance, conversion rates, or customer spend.
• Experience managing employee performance, including hiring, coaching, corrective action, and terminations.
• Operational instincts and decision‑making ability, with experience improving efficiency, productivity, or service throughput.
• Strong customer communication skills, with the ability to build trust, resolve concerns, and confidently recommend services or solutions.
• Comfort working in a fast‑paced environment where leaders are expected to balance team leadership, operational management, and customer engagement.
• Ability to quickly learn and utilize new technology platforms used to manage operations and performance.

Physical Requirements

• Lift up to 50 lbs as needed.
• Work with tools overhead and in tight spaces.
• Stand and walk for the majority of the workday in a high‑volume environment.
• Have the dexterity to use hand tools efficiently and drive manual‑transmission vehicles.
