1. This is a full-time, in-person role based in the Albany, NY area (Saratoga County), with regular travel to our Hudson Valley and Westchester locations 2. In office 5 days a week. There is no remote or hybrid option. 3. $140K–$160K base plus a performance bonus 4. Application instructions are at the end of this post We're looking for someone from the SearchFunder community who wants to run a real business alongside its founder, without needing to buy one first. The Company A founder-led water, fire and mold restoration company in New York's Capital Region, part of a private-equity-backed restoration platform. It does roughly $7M in revenue with 40+ employees across three locations, from the Capital Region down through the Hudson Valley and Westchester. Unlike most restoration companies, it isn't dependent on insurance-program work. It wins jobs directly from homeowners through a strong plumber referral program, search and word of mouth. We see a credible path to $20M in revenue within five years, through deeper penetration of the markets it already serves and new locations. The business has figured out the hardest part: generating demand. It grew faster than its systems, and too much of the operation still runs on the founder and on a loyal team doing things the way they always have. The founder wants to focus on sales and growth. We need someone to run everything else. That's the job. The Role You'll start by learning the business side by side with the founder and the current operations team. As you prove yourself, you'll take on full responsibility for running the company day to day. This is a builder role, not a steady-state management job. You will: 1. Own the "job to cash" engine: lead intake, estimate turnaround, work authorizations, job documentation, invoicing and collections, so no job slips through the cracks and no work goes unbilled 2. Put job budgets and job costing in place so every project manager knows the margin on every job, every week 3. Stand up a weekly operating rhythm with clear KPIs, so every person in the company knows their number and is held accountable to it 4. Lead the project managers and field leaders. Fix spans of control, define roles, and build a bench by promoting strong technicians into leadership 5. Build the field capacity to grow: hiring, onboarding, training and certification, planned ahead of the seasonal surge instead of in reaction to it 6. Drive adoption of the company's job management software so the numbers become the source of truth 7. Turn the newer Hudson Valley and Westchester locations into fully performing branches, and build the playbook for opening the next ones 8. Build a performance culture with reviews, pay tied to results, and the tough calls on people when needed, while bringing a loyal, long-tenured team along with you 9. Partner with the platform's finance, marketing and people teams, who are there to support you Who You Are 1. A current or former searcher, operator or field-services leader who wants to run a business, not just analyze one. Experience running a branch or business in restoration, home services or another field-service trade is a strong plus. 2. Strategic and tactical. You can redesign an org chart in the morning and sit with a project manager on a job file in the afternoon. 3. You've built things. You can point to processes, teams or systems you created, and numbers you personally moved. 4. Comfortable with a P&L and obsessed with margin. Your first instinct is to fix the process, not add headcount. 5. Tech-forward. You use AI and modern tools to build reports, automate work and move faster. 6. High emotional intelligence. You can earn the trust of a founder and a seasoned team, and still drive change. 7. Willing to be in the field and on the road. Our customers and our people are spread across three locations. Why This Role 1. Run a business with real scale, real customers and real demand from day one 2. Work side by side with a successful founder and a PE team that has been in your shoes 3. A business that already knows how to win customers. Your job is to build the machine behind it. 4.
