Can reside anywhere in Continental US.
Can’t Miss Talent has been retained to identify an exceptional Vice President of Facilities Management Operations to lead a large-scale K-12 schools facilities portfolio for a nationally recognized organization experiencing significant growth.
This is not a role for someone who simply maintains operations.
We are looking for an executive who builds high-performing teams, strengthens client partnerships, drives operational excellence, develops future leaders, and knows how to turn strategy into measurable results.
This executive will provide strategic leadership across a major business segment, overseeing a team of approximately 10 direct reports and influencing a broader organization across multiple markets.
THE OPPORTUNITY
You will have the opportunity to:
- Lead Facilities Management operations across a growing K-12 schools portfolio
- Establish and execute long-term operational strategy
- Lead, coach and develop a high-performing leadership team
- Drive operational excellence, accountability and consistent performance
- Build trusted relationships with key clients and stakeholders
- Champion a strong culture of safety and operational discipline
- Identify opportunities for continuous improvement, innovation and sustainable growth
- Use data and performance insights to improve workforce planning and operational efficiency
- Partner across regional and executive leadership teams to execute broader organizational priorities
- Build succession plans and strengthen the organization's leadership pipeline
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
The strongest candidates will bring a combination of executive presence, operational discipline, people leadership and client-facing business acumen.
You should have demonstrated success:
- Leading large, complex or geographically dispersed operations
- Managing and developing senior leaders and cross-functional teams
- Driving measurable improvements in operational performance
- Building strong, long-term client relationships
- Leading through growth, change and organizational complexity
- Developing talent and creating meaningful succession plans
- Translating data and business insights into action
- Establishing accountability while building an engaged, performance-driven culture
Experience within facilities management, K-12/education services, outsourced services, contract management, integrated facilities services or another complex multi-site operating environment is highly relevant.
REQUIREMENTS
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- 10+ years of management experience
- 10+ years of relevant operational leadership experience
- Demonstrated experience leading large and/or cross-functional teams
- Strong executive communication and consultative skills
- Ability to travel approximately 50%
- Must be eligible to work in the United States without employer-sponsored visa support
WHY THIS ROLE?
This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible executive position with the ability to influence people, performance, client relationships and long-term growth across a significant national operation.
We're looking for more than someone who has held the title.
We're looking for a leader who has the results to back it up.
If you have built teams people want to be part of, strengthened operations at scale and earned the trust of demanding clients, we'd like to hear your story.
