General Manager

Prescott, AZ 86301

Employment Type: Permanent Position Function: Operations Job Number: 16810733

Job Description

About Our Client

Our client is a results-driven, family-owned landscaping and construction firm that has evolved into a premier team of industry professionals. Operating with a meritocracy-based philosophy, they prioritize performance and professional standards over traditional seniority. The company has built a culture centered on mutual respect, professionalism, and a genuine passion for the work, fostering an environment where team members are excited to contribute to the organization's rapid growth. With a focus on high-quality residential and expanding commercial sectors, they maintain a strong local reputation backed by exceptional community engagement and a commitment to employee well-being.

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal leadership mandate for a seasoned professional to assume full operational and financial P&L accountability for a $7 million organization. As the successor to the current General Manager, you will lead the company through a period of significant expansion into new geographic markets and commercial construction sectors. This hands-on role requires a strategic driver capable of managing multi-million-dollar budgets, optimizing job costing, and mentoring a high-performing team across maintenance, construction, and tree divisions. You will be the primary authority responsible for driving the organization from its current state toward an $8 million revenue target.

The Location

The position is based in the Prescott / Yavapai County area of Arizona. This region offers a high quality of life with a rapidly growing population and a robust market for both high-end residential landscaping and commercial development. The area serves as a central hub for surrounding communities such as Chino Valley, Dewey, and Humboldt, providing a beautiful Northern Arizona backdrop characterized by a unique climate that includes distinct seasonal shifts and occasional snow.

What You Will Do

  • Assume full P&L accountability including managing balance sheets, financial forecasts, and rigorous cost controls.
  • Direct daily operations for all departments to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
  • Oversee the sales pipeline and provide daily coaching to the sales team to improve close ratios and hit revenue metrics.
  • Conduct daily field visits to ensure job site safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency.
  • Lead daily stand-up meetings and foster a culture of accountability and professionalism.
  • Manage the mechanic shop and oversee material readiness and vehicle efficiency to prevent operational bottlenecks.
  • Implement and refine operational processes and project scheduling to enhance overall productivity.
  • Act as a key decision-maker in personnel matters, including recruiting, mentoring, and performance management

Who You Are

  • A seasoned leader with a minimum of 3 to 5 years of experience in operational leadership and P&L management, specifically within the landscape or construction industries.
  • A data-driven professional with exceptional financial acumen and a proven track record of managing multi-million-dollar budgets.
  • A decisive communicator with high emotional intelligence, capable of navigating challenging conversations with firmness and fairness.
  • A proactive problem-solver who identifies operational bottlenecks and implements preventative measures.
  • An early riser comfortable with a rigorous schedule, typically starting between 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM.
  • A results-oriented professional who avoids workplace drama and prioritizes measurable outcomes over activity.
  • A team player willing to participate in community events and lead by example in the field.
The Ideal Candidate is a local professional with deep industry knowledge who can seamlessly integrate into a high-performing culture without disrupting the "apple cart". You must have a strong background in residential-heavy construction environments and possess the ability to push a sales department toward aggressive growth. Unlike managers from large-scale commercial maintenance firms, you are comfortable with the high-pressure demands of a sales-driven environment and are equally adept at reviewing P&L statements as you are at walking a job site. You are a strategic thinker who can "wear multiple hats," balancing office-based financial oversight with active field leadership.

Why Join the Team?

Joining this organization offers the opportunity to lead a premier company during a phase of explosive regional growth and market diversification. You will work within a merit-based environment that rewards high performance and professional excellence while maintaining a supportive culture that values employee well-being. The company provides essential tools for success, including a company vehicle and gas card for professional use. This is a chance to fully own the operations of a successful business, supported by a talented and dedicated team, with clear pathways for professional impact and organizational leadership.

Brittany Struble
National Talent Acquisition Recruiter

Brittany Struble brings more than eight years of recruiting and executive search experience to Naviga, partnering with clients nationwide to deliver thoughtful, well-matched talent solutions across a wide range of industries. Her background spans Sales, Education, Financial Services, Legal, Construction, IT and Education with a functional focus on Leadership, C-Suite, Finance/CFO, and Administrative roles.

Brittany began her recruiting career in Special Education staffing on a national scale, where precision, empathy, and compliance were essential. She later joined AppleOne, a professional services staffing agency, where she supported clients throughout Florida, Georgia, New York, Hawaii, and beyond. This broad foundation allows her to approach every search with a well-rounded perspective and a deep understanding of both regional and national hiring dynamics.

At the core of Brittany’s approach is authenticity and transparency. She believes successful placements start with truly understanding a client’s business objectives and a candidate’s motivations, then aligning both sides with intention and care. By tailoring each search to the specific needs of the organization, Brittany focuses on creating placements that drive long-term success—not just short-term hires.

Throughout her career, Brittany has led several complex and rewarding searches, including a Controller role for a prestigious hospital group requiring specialized finance and healthcare expertise, and a Director of Operations search within the legal sector that demanded experience in legal operations and trust-related regulations. These engagements reinforced her belief that market knowledge, precision, and proactive communication are critical in today’s competitive hiring landscape.

Brittany sees one of the biggest challenges companies face in attracting top executive talent as understanding the market and the evolving priorities of today’s workforce. She helps clients overcome this by staying closely connected to candidates, monitoring market data, and continuously assessing how shifts in generational values and expectations influence hiring decisions.

What Brittany enjoys most about her role is the opportunity to create lasting, meaningful matches—helping organizations advance their initiatives while giving individuals the opportunity to grow, thrive, and feel fulfilled in their careers. She is a strong believer in continuous learning and accountability, approaching every search with curiosity and a commitment to excellence.

In addition to her recruiting work, Brittany has delivered presentations on generational dynamics in the workforce, helping organizations better understand how to position themselves to attract and retain talent across all age groups. She is also an active member of the Suncoast ALA and the Pasco Chamber of Commerce.

Outside of work, Brittany enjoys reading and writing, pursuits that reflect her thoughtful, reflective nature. She is deeply guided by the belief that every interaction leaves an echo, and she approaches her work and life with the intention of making a positive, lasting impact. Brittany has volunteered with soup kitchens across the five boroughs of New York, supported Feeding Tampa Bay, and contributed to various nonprofit organizations.
