With approximately 35 employees and nearly $9M in annual revenue, the business is entering its next phase of growth through new service-line expansion (plumbing), operational scaling, and potential acquisitions across the Florida market. The owner is seeking a trusted, high-integrity General Manager to step into day-to-day leadership of the business and run it with the same care, accountability, and ownership mindset as if it were their own. The Opportunity This is a true “run-the-business” role — not a back-office operator and not a corporate figurehead. You will take full operational ownership of the company while working closely with the owner, who will remain actively involved during a thoughtful, hands-on transition period. Over time, this role is designed to become the primary on-the-ground leader responsible for people, performance, culture, and results. If you are a proven operator who thrives in accountability-driven environments, leads from the front, and wants to inherit a healthy, respected business with runway for growth — this is a rare opportunity. What You'll Do Full P&L & Business Ownership Own day-to-day operations across service, install, warehouse, and office functions Manage the P&L, budgets, KPIs, and cost controls to sustain profitability and growth Ensure the business continues to grow year-over-year without operational backslide Leadership & Culture Lead a team of ~35 employees through direct oversight of department managers Reinforce a culture built on accountability, work ethic, and “no job is beneath anyone” Lead visibly and credibly — never asking someone to do something you wouldn't do yourself Operational Excellence Drive performance through metrics, systems, and disciplined execution Use ServiceTitan and operational data to manage productivity, margins, and customer experience Identify process gaps and implement scalable systems as the company grows Growth & Expansion Support the launch of a new plumbing service line (planned near-term expansion) Help prepare the business for scale, including future acquisitions in Florida Assist in identifying, hiring, and developing key leadership roles as the organization grows Talent & Decision-Making Hire, develop, and (when necessary) make tough decisions to protect the business Recruit independently for critical roles as needed Hold leaders accountable while maintaining trust and respect across the organization What Success Looks Like (Year One) The business continues its current growth trajectory (15–20% target) Plumbing is successfully launched and operationally supported The team remains stable, engaged, and aligned during leadership transition The business is stronger, more scalable, and more systematized than when you arrived You'd Be a Great Fit If You Have: 8–15 years of leadership experience in HVAC, plumbing, or home services Prior GM, Operations Manager, or senior leadership experience with full P&L ownership Strong financial and operational acumen (KPIs, margins, forecasting, labor efficiency) A hands-on, no-ego leadership style with high accountability The ability to influence, develop, and lead teams with credibility and charisma Comfort working in a founder-led environment with direct communication Experience with ServiceTitan or similar field service platforms Bachelor's degree preferred but not required — experience and leadership capability matter more. Bonus Points For: Military leadership experience (officer or senior enlisted) Experience scaling service businesses under $20M in revenue Exposure to acquisitions or multi-location operations Background in Florida-based service markets Why Join Us Step into a trusted leadership role with real authority and impact Work directly with a long-tenured owner who values loyalty, accountability, and results Lead a tight-knit, family-oriented team with strong cultural roots Help shape the future of a respected business entering its next growth chapter MilSpec Talent is a boutique headhunting firm that helps our clients get connected with top talent in the industry.
