Job summary

El Car Wash is seeking a Regional Manager to scale operations across 4–7 car wash locations, driving performance, developing Site Managers, and owning the regional P&L. You will run structured site visits, turn data into decisions, and lead growth initiatives in a fast-growing market.

The role requires 50+ hours/week, travel 80–90% within the region, and a background in multi-site leadership with EBITDA accountability. Fluency in English/Spanish is a strong plus in Florida markets.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of multi-site leadership experience in retail, hospitality, or service operations — car wash industry preferred
• Track record of developing Site Managers who outgrow the role — not just managing them
• Financially accountable — you own EBITDA and can walk through your numbers and explain variance

• Strong communicator equally effective with frontline teams and senior leadership
• Experience supporting new store openings or acquisitions is a strong plus
• Knowledge of car wash equipment, maintenance practices, and safety regulations

Responsibilities

• Drive regional performance - Oversee daily operations across 4–7 locations — ensuring consistency in service, quality, safety, and profitability at every site.
• Develop Site Managers - Coach, develop, and grow high-performing Site Managers and ASMs. Your best output is a leader who doesn't need you present to succeed.
• Own the P&L - Manage labor and operational expenses with full accountability for EBITDA. You know your numbers and you act on them — not just report them.
• Run structured site visits - Conduct regular audits to evaluate execution, coach leaders, and identify improvement opportunities — not just 'check-ins.' You leave every site better than you found it.
• Turn data into decisions - Leverage KPIs, customer feedback, and performance data to drive operational decisions and implement improvement strategies across your region.
• Build succession depth - Identify and develop high-potential team members across your sites to build a strong leadership pipeline before you need it.
• Champion culture and compliance - Foster consistency in team development, staffing practices, and a strong workplace culture. Ensure OSHA, PCI, and safety standards are met — every site, every time.
• Support growth - Lead new store openings, re-openings, and change initiatives. Partner with People Success, L&D, and Marketing to drive site-level success.
