• Promote a culture of ownership, honest communication, continuous improvement, and accountability.

Qualifications

• Seven or more years of progressive leadership experience in landscaping, lawn care, irrigation, horticulture, property services, facilities services, or a closely related industry.
• Demonstrated success managing a service-based business unit, branch, department, or company.
• Proven ability to grow revenue and improve profitability.
• Strong understanding of recurring-service operations, production planning, workforce management, and customer retention.
• Experience managing managers as well as front-line field teams.
• Strong business-development, client-relationship, and negotiation skills.
• Financial literacy, including budgeting, forecasting, job costing, margins, and operational reporting.
• Ability to create structure, establish accountability, and lead organizational change.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with field-service, CRM, estimating, scheduling, or business-management software.
• Bachelor's degree in business, horticulture, landscape management, operations, or a related field is preferred but not required.
• A history of running or successfully growing a landscape or service business is highly valued.
