General Manager Leadership Development Program | $100K-$125K Base | Nationwide Relocation Required

Run your own multimillion-dollar branch. Get paid your full salary to learn how first, then step into a leadership role where you own the operation, the team, the customer experience, and the results.

Express Employment Professionals, Virginia Beach is conducting a confidential national search for a high-growth residential services company building its next generation of General Managers across the United States.

This is a direct-hire opportunity for proven leaders who are ready for more ownership, more responsibility, and a serious long-term growth path.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Selected candidates will enter a paid 6-month General Manager Leadership Development Program designed to prepare them for full branch leadership.

You will receive:

• $100,000 to $125,000 base salary

• Full base salary from day one of training

• Performance-based bonus opportunity after branch placement

• Realistic first full-year earnings potential of $150,000+

• Higher earnings possible based on branch performance

• Equity participation opportunity after branch placement

• Company vehicle and fuel card

• Relocation assistance

• Clear path into regional and multi-site leadership

• Opportunity to lead a multimillion-dollar branch operation

Most companies ask leaders to prove themselves before they invest heavily in them. This company invests upfront. You earn your full salary while learning the business, then step into branch leadership with training, support, and upside.

Promotion from within is the norm. The company’s current COO began in an entry-level field role, which speaks directly to the kind of advancement available for high performers.

What You Will Do

After training, you will be placed into a General Manager role where you will lead a branch location and oversee people, operations, revenue, customer experience, safety, execution, and profitability.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead and develop teams across operations, production, service, office, and field support

• Own branch performance, execution, customer experience, and profitability

• Use data, reporting, and operational metrics to make decisions

• Drive revenue growth and operational improvement

• Build a high-accountability team culture

• Ensure work is completed safely, on time, and to customer expectations

• Partner with regional leadership to execute local business goals

• Lead through change, growth, and operational pressure

• Develop future leaders within the branch

• Solve problems with urgency, ownership, and measurable outcomes

• Represent the company professionally with employees, customers, and local market partners

Who We Are Looking For

The strongest candidates are proven leaders who can clearly explain the teams they have led, the scope of their responsibility, and the measurable results they have delivered.

Ideal backgrounds may include:

• Military leadership

• Senior enlisted leadership

• Officer-level leadership

• Field operations leadership

• Branch, district, regional, or multi-unit leadership

• Home services, construction, renovation, or residential services

• HVAC, plumbing, pest control, restoration, roofing, landscaping, or facilities services

• Logistics, maintenance, supply chain, or service operations

Military leaders are strongly encouraged to apply, especially senior enlisted and officer-level leaders with experience leading people, managing operational priorities, driving accountability, and producing measurable results.

Industry experience is helpful, but it is not the main requirement. The company will train the right leader on the industry, systems, financial model, and operating process.

Qualified candidates should be able to demonstrate:

• 5+ years of meaningful leadership experience, or military equivalent

• Experience leading teams with real operational responsibility

• Ability to explain results using numbers, outcomes, and measurable impact

• Strong problem-solving and decision-making ability

• Comfort leading through change, pressure, and growth

• Ability to hold people accountable while developing them

• Strong communication skills

• Professional presence with employees, customers, and senior leaders

• Clean driving record, as this role includes a company vehicle

Important Relocation Requirement

This role requires geographic flexibility.

Training is approximately 6 months. After training, candidates must be open to placement anywhere in the United States based on business need. Candidate location preferences will be discussed and considered when possible, but relocation flexibility is required.

If you are not open to relocating, this will not be the right opportunity.
