Job description

A nationally recognized home products company — one of the most widely distributed brands in the backyard structure and outdoor living category — is adding a Territory Manager to oversee its Phoenix branch. This is a fully autonomous operations role: you run the branch, manage a contractor install network, and serve as the primary point of contact for 40+ retail partner locations across the metro. If you've managed subcontractors, owned a P&L, and thrive in a role where no two days are identical, this was built for you.

• Anticipate $85K-95K, based on experience
• Full suite of benefits; health/dental/vision, 401K, PTO, etc.
• Role includes company vehicle + gas card
• Territory: Phoenix Metro

Overview

• Own daily branch operations including inventory management, ordering, receiving, storing, and product repair; accuracy and accountability are non-negotiable here.
• Recruit, onboard, and maintain a reliable team of 1099 installation contractors across the Phoenix metro; manage their schedules, performance, and day-to-day readiness.
• Conduct regular visits to 40+ retail partner locations to support merchandising standards, product knowledge for store associates, and sales readiness — this is a presence and relationship role, not a selling role.
• Manage branch P&L and inventory control with a clear understanding of how daily operational decisions affect the bottom line.
• Resolve installation issues, contractor conflicts, and customer satisfaction concerns in the field — independently and decisively.
• Ensure compliance with all safety, HR, and operational standards; conduct audits and maintain documentation.
• Build relationships with retail partner staff (store-level through management) to keep installations on track and branch performance metrics strong.
• Coordinate logistics for product delivery and installation scheduling across a large suburban and outer-loop territory; early AM starts (6–7 AM) are standard.

Preferred Skills/Experiences

• High school diploma or GED required; relevant field or operations certifications a plus.
• 2–4 years of experience managing subcontractors or 1099 installers in a field-based environment.
• Demonstrated P&L ownership or co-ownership at a branch or territory level.
• Experience recruiting and onboarding field installation crews.
• Background in home services, outdoor structures, building materials, construction, or a related industry with a contractor workforce.
• Forklift certification or proficiency; willing to train the right candidate.
• Strong scheduling and conflict resolution skills — you'll manage competing priorities daily.
• Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• Valid driver's license with a clean MVR; background check and drug screen required.
• Comfortable with an early-start schedule and significant daily drive time across a large metro territory.
