  • Backing from an experienced leadership team plus modern systems.
  • Statewide scope with the autonomy to make things happen.

What makes this role exciting:

  • Genuine Impact: Your decisions directly influence company growth and team success.
  • Variety: Balance strategic sales planning with hands-on operational leadership, no two days are the same.
  • Leadership Opportunity: Build, mentor, and develop teams across multiple functions.
  • Autonomy: Run your state like your own business, with the backing of a experienced management team.
  • Growth Trajectory: Join a company that's expanding and needs leaders to grow with it.
