Job description

Private Equity-Backed Consumer Services | Texas / South-Central US

Prospera Executive has been retained by a private equity-backed, multi-site consumer services business to appoint a General Manager to lead a significant regional operation.

The business is entering an important phase of operational transformation and value creation, with a renewed focus on empowering local leaders, strengthening accountability and driving profitable organic growth.

Reporting into senior leadership, the General Manager will assume responsibility for a portfolio of 20+ locations and lead directly through the managers responsible for each individual operation.

This is not a traditional regional oversight role. We are looking for a commercially minded operator who can create value through people, performance and disciplined P&L leadership.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Own the financial and operational performance of a substantial multi-site region.
• Lead, coach and develop individual location leaders with responsibility for their local P&Ls.
• Assess the existing leadership population and upgrade talent where required.
• Develop location-specific business and growth plans based on individual market opportunities.
• Establish a rigorous operating cadence around KPIs, budgets, profitability and performance.
• Drive organic revenue growth, customer retention and local commercial development.
• Improve performance across underperforming locations while maintaining accountability at the local level.
• Partner closely with senior leadership and the private equity sponsor on the broader value-creation agenda.

Candidate profile

• Successful leadership of 20+ locations within a multi-site retail or consumer services environment.
• Significant P&L ownership and a track record of delivering measurable revenue, EBITDA and/or margin improvement.
• Strong experience developing, coaching and, where necessary, upgrading field leadership teams.
• An entrepreneurial leadership style with the ability to empower local managers while maintaining rigorous accountability.
• Experience driving organic growth across distributed operations.
• The ability to operate effectively from the frontline through to senior leadership, board and investor-level stakeholders.
• Experience within a private equity-backed environment
• Automotive aftermarket/services experience advantageous, but not essential.
• Experience across franchise, retail and other multi-site consumer service models will be considered.

Candidates should be based within reasonable proximity to a major airport. Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma and Missouri are particularly relevant, and significant travel across the region should be expected.

This is a compelling opportunity to join a profitable, established business at an important point in its ownership cycle and play a significant role in its next phase of growth and value creation.
