Site Manager

About this role

You are the leader of the site — the person responsible for the people, the guest experience, the equipment, the standards, and the results. You are not just keeping the wash open. You are building a team, running a business, and creating a place guests and employees want to come back to. This role sits between the Assistant Site Manager and the Market Director.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a leader who treats the site like a business and the team like the reason it works. You have led teams before and know how to create accountability without losing trust. You own outcomes. Sales, labor, safety, quality, culture — you do not point at the scoreboard. You move it. You develop people. The best Site Managers build Assistant Site Managers and Shift Leads who are ready for more. You solve problems quickly and communicate clearly. Silence creates confusion. Leadership creates direction. You are comfortable in a fast-paced, physically active, outdoor environment and willing to be present where the work happens. Prior management experience in car wash, retail, restaurant, service, or field operations preferred. A track record of ownership matters more than a specific industry. The site reflects the leader. Make it a place people notice. The best version of this industry is being built one site at a time. If you are ready to own the site, build the team, and leave the operation stronger than you found it, we want to hear from you.
