General Manager
Position Overview
A growing home services company in the Boston area is seeking a General Manager to lead day-to-day operations across a multi-service business with a strong HVAC foundation and expanding plumbing and electrical offerings.
This leader will report directly to ownership and take responsibility for operational performance, team accountability, service delivery, financial results, and execution of the company’s growth strategy. This is a high-impact leadership role for a proven operator who can bring structure, visibility, and discipline to a business with strong fundamentals and meaningful upside.
Why This Role Exists
The business is entering an important next phase and is seeking an experienced operating leader to help strengthen structure, improve visibility, enhance accountability, and support continued growth.
This is a key leadership hire for a company looking for someone who can quickly assess the business, identify opportunities, and drive execution.

In the first 6–12 months, the General Manager will be expected to:
Bring stronger accountability, clarity, and leadership structure to the management team
Create better visibility into the business through reliable reporting, scorecards, and operational data
Drive a more balanced operating model with greater emphasis on service, maintenance, and recurring revenue
Improve service plan consistency, structure, and performance
Help grow additional service lines into a larger and more meaningful part of the business
Lead with urgency around performance while building trust with an established team and field workforce

Improve scheduling, technician utilization, dispatch efficiency, and execution across the business
Establish and maintain a strong operating rhythm with clear meetings, priorities, scorecards, and follow-through
Identify operational bottlenecks and put practical systems in place to improve consistency and performance
Build a culture of accountability without losing the trust of the team
Revenue and Financial Performance
Own the P&L and drive performance against revenue, margin, and EBITDA goals
Bring greater discipline and visibility to forecasting, budgeting, labor efficiency, pricing, and operational spend
Understand the economics of the business at a detailed level and clearly communicate what is driving performance
Improve decision-making through better use of financial and operational data
Support the company’s efforts to create a healthier and more balanced revenue mix
Service Growth and Business Evolution
Strengthen the service side of the business and help build more recurring revenue
Evaluate and improve membership or service plan performance
Support growth across multiple service lines
Identify operational and commercial opportunities that support long-term scalability
Team Leadership
Lead and develop managers across the organization
Assess talent honestly and make sound decisions around structure, coaching, development, and change
Set clearer expectations and performance standards across the team
Create stronger accountability at both the leadership and field level
Help build an organization that can scale without relying on informal communication or reactive management
Leadership Partnership

Communicate clearly, proactively, and without surprises
Take ownership of execution while partnering closely on broader direction and priorities
Bring sound judgment, maturity, and the ability to challenge thinking when needed
Ideal Candidate Profile
We are looking for a proven operator who understands home services, can lead from the front, and is equally comfortable driving revenue, managing people, and using data to run the business well.
The right candidate will likely bring:
Experience leading a home services or field-based business in the $20M range or larger
Strong P&L ownership and a track record of improving performance
Deep understanding of HVAC, ideally with exposure to plumbing and electrical
Experience building structure and accountability in a company that is growing or evolving
The ability to lead through change, not just maintain what already exists
Strong analytical skills and a comfort level with data, metrics, and operating dashboards
The confidence to make difficult people decisions when needed
A practical, hands-on leadership style that works well in an entrepreneurial environment
What They Are Really Looking For
This company does not need a polished executive who only knows how to lead inside a highly structured environment.
They need someone who can step into a real operating business, quickly understand what is happening, create visibility where needed, and drive performance through people, process, and accountability.
The ideal person is not just a motivator and not just an analyst. They need both — someone who can lead the team, hold people accountable, understand the numbers, and help the business evolve.
Culture and Leadership Fit
This role will work best for someone who:
Can operate effectively in an owner-led company
Knows how to balance urgency with relationship-building
Does not avoid hard conversations
Can bring structure without becoming overly bureaucratic
Understands that credibility is earned with teams, not assumed by title
Is comfortable being highly visible and highly accountable
Compensation
Compensation is expected to include:
Base salary in the range of $170,000–$220,000
Annual performance bonus up to 25%
Potential equity opportunity
Standard benefits package
Relocation support may be considered for the right candidate.
Location
Boston area
Local candidates are preferred, though relocation may be considered for the right individual.
About the Opportunity
This is an opportunity to step into a leadership role with real influence, real responsibility, and real upside.
The company has a strong foundation and a meaningful opportunity to become more disciplined, more scalable, and more balanced in how it grows. The right General Manager will play a major role in shaping that future.
