Full Job Description
About the Role

We are seeking a results-driven Director of Landscape Operations to lead two established landscaping companies across Southern Idaho with combined annual revenues of approximately $18 million. This executive leadership role is ideal for a strong operator who can improve profitability, strengthen teams, implement scalable systems, and drive long-term growth.

We are looking for a decisive and accountable leader who can build structure, improve operational performance, solve labor challenges, and lead through change. This is not a maintenance role - we want a builder and strategic operator focused on execution and growth.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and develop General Managers and leadership teams across both locations
  • Improve accountability, operational efficiency, and field productivity
  • Oversee P&L performance, budgeting, forecasting, and cost control
  • Standardize systems, reporting, job costing, and operational processes
  • Support recruiting, retention, workforce development, and leadership growth
  • Drive profitability, scalability, and future market expansion initiatives
  • Help create a stronger sales and business development culture


What Success Looks Like

Within the first 12-24 months, this leader will:
  • Improve profitability across both operations
  • Strengthen leadership alignment and accountability
  • Implement scalable systems and operating standards
  • Improve labor capacity and operational readiness
  • Position the company for future growth and expansion

Requirements

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of leadership experience in landscaping, construction, field services, agriculture, or related industries
  • Strong operations management and team leadership experience
  • Financial acumen with budgeting, job costing, and P&L responsibility
  • Proven ability to improve operational performance and team accountability
  • Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills
  • Ability to make sound decisions and lead through change

Preferred Experience
  • Commercial landscaping operations
  • Multi-location operations management
  • Turnaround or acquisition integration leadership
  • Building sales teams and supporting business growth
  • Expansion into new markets or startup operations

Benefits
  • $175,000 - $215,000 annual salary
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Paid time off (PTO)
  • Life insurance
  • Long-term executive growth opportunity
