About the Role
The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer with a strong background in leading the buy-and-build strategy of a private equity-backed commercial services business. The successful candidate will have full profit and loss responsibility, serving as the strategic leader to achieve the company's vision and mission. This role involves coordinating strategic initiatives to ensure financial health, driving continuous margin improvement, and leading organic growth through a disciplined sales organization. The CEO will also be responsible for greenfield market expansion, overseeing operational assets, and building a strong senior leadership team. A key focus is on preparing the company for a potential sale within a 24-month timeline, aligning financial and operational performance with growth initiatives. Applicants must have experience in a fast-paced, data-driven environment, and a proven track record in managing multilocation services businesses. The role requires a leader who can champion a safety culture, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage a workforce program as a strategic competitive advantage. Financial acumen is essential, with a demonstrated command of critical financial metrics and experience in implementing a profitable bidding process. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, with a strong drive to achieve results, and possess a Bachelor's degree (MBA a plus). Experience in a route-based recurring revenue business and with ERP system rollouts is also necessary.
