Reports to
CEO (seat on Executive Leadership Team)
The Mission
This is a PE‑backed portable sanitation platform scaling nationwide through aggressive organic growth and acquisitions. The company already operates multiple branches across Southern California and is rapidly expanding its national footprint. They need a Regional General Manager to own the performance and operations of the entire SoCal region.
This is not a maintenance role. Each branch today has a branch/operations manager with limited P&L understanding. The company needs a business athlete who can step above the branch level, own the regional P&L, drive operational rigor, and integrate future acquisitions—all while sitting on the executive leadership team and helping shape the company’s trajectory.
What You’ll Own
- Full P&L responsibility across SoCal branches: revenue, margins, EBITDA, and growth targets (~$25M and expanding)
- Operational oversight of 3 branch/operations managers—raising the bar on performance management, accountability, and financial literacy at the branch level
- Integration and optimization of acquired branches as the platform continues to roll up
- KPI‑driven performance management with weekly and monthly operating rhythms
- Pricing strategy, cost management, fleet utilization, and margin improvement initiatives
- Customer and contract development—construction, events, municipal, and commercial accounts
- Team leadership: hiring, coaching, and building a culture of execution across branches
- Collaboration with the CEO and executive team on growth strategy, M&A integration, and new market entry
What It Takes
- High achiever in the military with a proven leadership track record
- MBA from a top business school
- 1+ years of post‑MBA experience in consulting, investment banking, operations, or a similarly demanding environment
- Hunger and drive to build—this is a high‑growth platform, not a corporate rotation
- P&L understanding and business acumen—ability to own a regional budget and make sound financial decisions
- Ability to operate both strategically (growth planning, M&A integration) and tactically (daily ops, branch‑level problem solving)
- Leadership presence that earns trust from branch managers, field teams, and executive peers
- Comfort with ambiguity and fast‑paced, high‑change environments
- Currently in or excited to relocate to Southern California (LA, Orange County, or San Diego)
- Sanitation or industrial services experience not required —business athletes welcome
