About Paradise Pools

Paradise Pools is a fast-growing multi-market pool services and construction platform built through a deliberate combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions. As we open new markets and service lines and bring newly acquired companies into the Paradise Pools family we are looking for a hands-on operating leader who can unify field service and construction operations integrate acquired teams and systems and build a scalable regional platform for the next phase of growth both organic and acquisitive.

Position Summary

The Regional CEO will own the full P&L and day-to-day performance of Paradise Pools operations with a specific mandate to drive growth through both organic expansion and acquisition standardize operations and successfully integrate newly acquired companies onto a common operating model. This is a builders role: part operator part integrator part growth leader. The ideal candidate has deep roots in field service and/or construction (pools HVAC landscaping home services or similar trades) has led through M&A integration before and is energized by scaling a business rather than simply maintaining one.

Key Responsibilities

Growth & Scaling (Organic Acquisition)

• Own the P&L driving revenue growth margin improvement and operational efficiency across all locations.

• Identify and act on opportunities to cross-sell services improve pricing discipline and grow customer lifetime value across the portfolio.
• Partner with executive leadership on capital planning budgeting and long-range strategy.

Mergers & Acquisitions Integration

• Retain and develop legacy leadership and top talent from acquired companies while instilling Paradise Pools standards and culture.
• Identify and capture synergies across acquired businesses (purchasing fleet real estate technology and labor) without disrupting customer service.
• Work closely with corporate development and finance teams to support due diligence on future acquisitions bringing an operators lens to deal evaluation.

Field Service & Construction Operations

• Oversee all field service maintenance repair and construction operations across the region ensuring consistent quality safety and customer experience.
• Standardize operating procedures crew productivity metrics dispatch/scheduling practices and quality control across all branches and acquired companies.
• Champion a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with relevant licensing permitting and regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions in the region.
• Optimize fleet equipment and materials management to support both service and construction crews at scale.

Leadership & Talent

• Recruit coach and lead a team of General Managers branch leaders and functional heads across the region.
• Build a leadership bench capable of supporting continued growth and future acquisitions.
• Foster a unified Paradise Pools culture across legacy and newly acquired teams reinforcing shared values and performance expectations.
• Report regularly to executive leadership and/or ownership on regional performance integration milestones and growth initiatives.

What Success Looks Like in the First 12 Months

• Both growth engines are producing: organic expansion (new crews markets and service lines) is on or ahead of plan and the acquisition pipeline is advancing on an operator-tested integration model.
• Newly acquired companies are operating on unified systems and processes with key leaders retained and engaged.
• Regional revenue and margin targets are on or ahead of plan with clear visibility into performance by branch and business line.
• A repeatable integration playbook exists and has been validated on at least one acquisition.
• Safety quality and customer satisfaction metrics are stable or improving across all locations including newly acquired ones.
• A strong capable leadership bench is in place to support the next round of growth and acquisitions.

Qualifications

• Direct experience integrating acquired companies combining operations systems and teams post-close is strongly preferred.
