Operations Manager, Business Management
Full-Time | Revenue Execution, Sales Performance & Profitability Ownership
Industry: Residential Plumbing & Home ServicesRole Overview
The Plumbing Operations Manager is the senior operational owner of the business and must possess strong sales acumen to be successful.
This role is responsible for ensuring the company hits daily job counts, revenue targets, sales metrics, marketing ROI benchmarks, staffing requirements, and profitability goals — every single day.
This is not a support role, and it is not a strategy-only role.
This is a hands‑on execution leadership position with full accountability for outcomes.
The Plumbing Operations Manager oversees and integrates the performance of:
- Call Center
- Sales
- Production / Field Operations
- Recruiting & Staffing
If results miss anywhere in the business, this role owns the correction — whether that means coaching leaders, reallocating resources, changing process, or stepping in directly to execute.

This role requires the ability to:
- Identify breakdowns in sales execution quickly
- Recognize weak turnovers, poor presentations, pricing discipline issues, or margin leakage
- Confidently challenge and coach Sales leadership
- Step into sales strategy, decision‑making, or execution when needed
- Protect revenue and margin through disciplined sales processes
This is an operator who thinks like a sales leader and executes like an owner.
