General Manager

Pay: CA$150,000.00 - CA$200,000.00+ per year

POSITION SUMMARY

WINMAR® is hiring a General Manager to take full operational ownership of an underperforming location and aggressively scale it to market potential.

This is not a caretaker or maintenance role. The General Manager is accountable for revenue growth, margin discipline, sales leadership, operational execution, and standards enforcement in a complex, insurer-driven restoration environment.

The role operates under a defined 90-day Alignment & Diagnosis Window, followed by full authority to restructure, rebuild, and scale the business. Authority is real. Accountability is non-negotiable. Outcomes matter more than effort.

This role exists to execute ownership strategy, not reinterpret it.

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• The location achieves sustained revenue growth aligned to ownership targets
• Gross margin, WIP, and AR controls are predictable, disciplined, and visible
• Sales activity is consistent, insurer relationships are strong, and pipeline health is clear
• Team standards are enforced consistently; low performers are exited or upgraded
• The operation can scale without owner intervention due to leadership depth and structure

OBJECTIVES

• Deliver aggressive revenue growth in line with approved multi-year targets
• Personally lead sales activity and insurer relationship management
• Establish and maintain accurate pipeline visibility and forecasting
• Protect gross margin through disciplined estimating, job costing, and controls
• Reduce aged AR and WIP exposure through tight operational oversight
• Diagnose operational, leadership, and capability gaps within the first 90 days
• Execute team restructuring post-alignment window where required
• Enforce WINMAR® standards consistently, regardless of tenure or relationships
• Build a reliable leadership bench capable of scaling with growth
• Ensure compliance with insurer protocols, franchise standards, and governance
• Maintain financial literacy across all operational decisions
• Operate transparently with ownership through clear reporting and communication

COMPETENCIES

• Financial literacy and P&L ownership
• Sales leadership and personal selling capability
• Insurer relationship management
• Decisive leadership under pressure
• Conflict competence and accountability enforcement
• Operational discipline and process adherence
• Strategic execution (not strategy creation)
• Team assessment and restructuring judgment
• Data-driven decision making
• Resilience in high-scrutiny environments
• Governance and control compliance
• Clear, direct communication

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

• 7–10+ years progressive leadership experience in construction or restoration
• Direct P&L responsibility for a business unit or location
• Proven track record of scaling revenue and leading teams through change
• Strong understanding of operational controls, estimating, and job costing
• Insurance restoration experience (residential and commercial)
• Experience managing complex or high-value projects ($5M–$10M+ annually)
• Exposure to franchised or multi-location operating models

Base Salary: $150,000 per year

Earning Potential: $200,000+ per year depending on performance and results.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer
