About A2Z Builders

A2Z Builders is a Class A General Contractor specializing in residential and commercial remodels and new construction in the Denver and surrounding area. We are a fast-growing, founder‑led company with 70+ concurrent active projects, and a team of driven project managers, office staff, and field professionals. Our philosophy is rooted in both our value systems and our vision to turn dreams into reality for not only our clientele, but also our valued staff members.

Role Summary

We are seeking a high‑caliber General Manager to serve as the operational backbone of our Denver headquarters. This is a senior leadership role, not an administrative support position. You will directly supervise four departments (Financial, Scheduling, Permitting, and Design), manage and develop the office team, and provide strategic operational support to our project managers. You will report directly to the CEO and remote COO, and serve as the on‑site decision‑making authority for daily operations. The right candidate is systems‑oriented, construction‑literate, comfortable managing people and processes simultaneously, and driven to grow with a company on a steep upward trajectory.

Key Responsibilities

1. Departmental Oversight

   • Supervise and manage the Financial, Scheduling, Permitting, and Design departments
   • Ensure each department meets performance expectations, deadlines, and quality standards
   • Build and maintain scalable systems and processes across all departments
   • Serve as primary escalation point for department leads on operational challenges

2. Project Manager Support

   • Provide operational support to project managers across 70+ concurrent active projects
   • Ensure PMs have the resources, documentation, and systems support needed to execute effectively
   • Provide real time support to various construction related questions to include quotation input, sales tactic, and conflict resolution

3. Team Leadership & Development

   • Directly manage, mentor, and develop office staff across all departments
   • Conduct onboarding, performance reviews, and ongoing coaching
   • Build a culture of accountability, efficiency, and continuous improvement
   • Collaborate with CEO and COO on hiring and staffing decisions

4. Financial & Administrative Management

   • Oversee financial operations in coordination with the Financial department including budget tracking, invoicing, and subcontractor payments
   • Maintain internal controls for cost tracking, reporting, and documentation
   • Ensure accurate records across project files, permits, contracts, and compliance documentation

5. Strategic Operations

   • Partner with CEO and COO to align operational execution with company growth objectives
   • Identify inefficiencies and implement process improvements across departments
   • Maintain compliance across licensing, insurance, permitting, and labor requirements
   • Manage vendor and subcontractor relationships in coordination with project teams

What We’re Looking For

• Demonstrated experience in construction operations management (title matters less than depth of knowledge and results)
• Strong understanding of residential construction processes: permitting, client services, subcontractor coordination, and project lifecycle
• Proven ability to directly manage, develop, and hold accountable a team across multiple functions
• Proficient in QuickBooks, and Job Tracking Software / CRM and a fast learner with similar platforms
• Exceptional organizational skills -- able to manage multiple priorities, departments, and people simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills across ownership, staff, PMs, and clients
• High accountability mindset. Own outcomes, not just tasks

Strongly Preferred

• Previous General Manager, Operations Manager, or Director‑level role in a construction or trades company
• Experience managing financial oversight, budgets, and cost controls in a construction environment
• Track record of scaling operational systems to support rapid company growth
• Familiarity with Colorado permitting, building codes, and licensing requirements
