Regional Director (South Central)

OVERVIEW

Gordian is the leader in facility and construction cost data, software, and services for all phases of the building lifecycle. As the pioneer of Job Order Contracting (JOC), Gordian delivers innovative solutions including proprietary RSMeans data and Facility Intelligence tools. Our mission is to help customers maximize efficiency, optimize cost savings, and improve building quality – from planning and design to procurement, construction, and operations. The Regional Director is a senior strategic and operational leader responsible for one of Gordian’s highest‑value, most complex regions. This role requires a unique blend of P&L ownership, strategic account management, operational excellence, and team leadership. The Regional Director must be able to lead at an executive level, build high‑performing teams, protect and grow revenue, and drive measurable value for clients while navigating a complex stakeholder landscape. This is not a traditional operations role - it is a general manager role with accountability for revenue, client retention, market positioning, strategic partnerships, and operational delivery. The Regional Director manages a team of Area Managers, Strategic Account Managers, and regional support teams, translating sector-level strategies into actionable plans while maintaining operational excellence and financial discipline.
