Branch Operations Manager

The Branch Operations Manager leads all day-to-day business operations within an assigned CBX Solutions branch. In branches where this role exists, the BOM is the senior operational leader on-site, responsible for branch performance, team development, customer relationships, financial results, and sales activity.

The right person for this role combines the organizational discipline to run a branch efficiently with the interpersonal confidence to build a high-performing team and the client relationships that drive growth. You are self-directed and results-oriented, and you hold yourself to the same standard you set for the people around you.
