Charleston Branch Manager

About Square One
Square One is a fast-growing real estate media company that helps agents, teams, and brokerages elevate their marketing through high-quality photography, video, drone, floor plans, and social media content. We’re known for next-day delivery, a talented in-house creative team, and a client-first, partner-minded culture.
We’re a young, energetic, and ambitious company—but we take execution seriously. We move fast, expect ownership, and care deeply about doing great work for our clients.
The Opportunity
Reporting Relationship: This role reports directly to Square One’s ownership group out of St. Louis, MO and works closely with company leadership on strategy, growth, and execution.
We’re looking for a Charleston Branch Manager to fully own and operate our newest market. This role is equal parts leader, operator, and growth driver. You’ll be responsible for driving growth through managing the local team, finding and retaining new clients, maintaining service quality, and ensuring the branch runs like a well-oiled machine.
This is not a “keep the lights on” role. We’re looking for someone who wants to build, lead, and grow—someone who enjoys being around people, understands business fundamentals, and can turn strategy into action.
If you’re fun to be around, highly accountable, organized, and energized by growth—this role will feel like home.

- Make smart decisions around staffing, contractor usage, and resource allocation
