What We’re Looking For
✅ Proven leadership experience in an operations or management role, ideally in landscaping, construction, or a similar industry.
✅ Ability to balance structure with adaptability—we move fast, and you need to keep up.
✅ Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills—you will face unexpected challenges daily.
✅ Sales-driven mindset—every interaction is a chance to win business and build relationships.
✅ Tech-savvy and process-oriented—we utilize Jobber, QuickBooks, and Gusto (experience with these is a plus).
✅ A Growth-Oriented Leader—We want someone who is constantly learning and improving. Are you the type of person who reads books, listens to podcasts, or studies in your free time to become the best version of yourself?
✅ Previous Landscaping Field Experience—It’s important you understand the inner workings of our business (e.g., how to build a retaining wall, install drainage, mulch, mow, etc.), so you can effectively lead the team in the best possible way.
- This is not a sit-behind-a-desk role—you will be in the field, problem-solving, and working alongside the team when necessary.
