Our network of "Guardians" helps property owners in crisis rebuild their lives after devastating events like water, fire, and mold damage. As part of our team, you’ll be contributing to a company that values results, integrity, and putting customers first. Guardian is a high‑growth, private equity–backed company building a national platform in the restoration and field services industry.

Through a focused acquisition strategy and strong organic growth, we are creating a best‑in‑class organization that combines local market expertise with the scale, systems, and discipline of a national platform.

Guardian Restoration Partners, an Alpine Investors Platform, is leading transformative change in the restoration and mitigation industry. Alpine Investors is a people‑driven private equity firm dedicated to investing in fragmented industries across the U.S. Named to Inc.'s List of Founder‑Friendly Investors for five consecutive years, Alpine creates value by honoring the legacy of founders and transforming their companies into enduring, high‑growth businesses.

Our portfolio companies thrive through strategic consolidation, technology advancement, and operational support. By leveraging this approach, one of Alpine's portfolio companies has achieved impressive results, scaling from $0 to $2 billion in just four years with over 300 acquisitions, all while preserving founders’ legacies.

We are seeking a commercially minded General Manager to lead and grow one of Guardian restoration Partners’ local restoration brands. This is not a role focused on maintaining the status quo. It is an opportunity to build a stronger, more scalable business by accelerating organic growth, expanding market share, strengthening operational performance, and developing a high‑performing leadership team. As General Manager, you will have full accountability for the company’s operating P&L and overall performance.

You will set the growth strategy, establish clear commercial and operational priorities, and ensure leaders across sales, operations, production, and administration are aligned around revenue growth, margin improvement, customer experience, and execution. The right leader will bring the discipline of an experienced operator and the commercial instincts of a business builder. You will be expected to understand the local market, develop and deepen referral channels, inspect the sales pipeline, coach leaders against measurable performance expectations, and personally engage in the market when needed to create momentum.

You will also lead the business through continued professionalization and scale. This requires balancing the entrepreneurial character and local relationships that made the company successful with the systems, accountability, and operating discipline required for its next stage of growth. Supported by Guardian’s executive leadership, functional experts, and a network of experienced General Managers, you will have access to the resources of a growing national platform while maintaining meaningful ownership of the local business.

This role is best suited for a leader who wants direct accountability for building enterprise value and can translate market opportunity into measurable revenue, profitability, and organizational performance.
