Full Job Description

We are a growing, full-service landscape company delivering high-quality design/build, maintenance, enhancement, projects and snow & ice services across the Chicago area. We're building a professional, systems-driven organization where strong leaders have the tools, autonomy, and support to win. This is a key leadership role on our team.

General Manager: Landscaping Maintenance & Snow Operations

Also known as: Branch Manager — Operations Manager — Director of Maintenance & Snow

Location: Naperville, IL | Chicagoland & Western Suburbs
Employment Type: Full-Time, Year-Round

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership role accountable for the performance of the entire division — maintenance, enhancement, projects and snow. You'll lead and develop your supervisors, account managers, and customer service team, own the systems and standards that drive quality and profitability through every season, and bring the hands-on credibility that earns respect in the field when the work demands it.

If you've grown through roles like Branch Manager or Operations Manager and are ready to own a division end-to-end — running a profitable operation, developing your team into high performers, and being the person the whole division counts on — we want to talk to you.

What You'll OwnLead & Develop the Team

Lead, coach, and develop your crew supervisors (who direct the crew leaders and field teams), your account managers, and your customer service team
Run consistent one-on-ones and team meetings; set clear expectations and follow through
Build a strong leadership bench — hire, onboard, train, and evaluate your direct reports and support their development of the teams below them
Drive morale, retention, and a culture of accountability and pride in the work across the division

Own Division Profitability

Hold the division accountable to its revenue and gross-margin targets
Track job and route costing against estimates; identify and close margin gaps

Partner with sales and estimating to ensure work is priced to win and to profit
Owns and manages a personal book of accounts, including client relationship management, selling and upselling, prospecting for new business, and account retention.

Run Maintenance & Enhancement Operations

Ensure every property meets our quality standard, consistently and on schedule
Grow enhancement/upsell revenue by equipping your supervisors and crews to spot opportunities and ensuring quotes are generated and followed up
Drive client satisfaction and retention through your account management and customer service team

Lead Snow & Ice Operations (Seasonal)

Serve as the single owner of snow operations — planning, staffing, routing, equipment readiness, and storm-event execution
Manage on-call rosters, subcontractors, salt/materials inventory, and 24/7 event coordination
Ensure accurate documentation, site logs, and billing for every event
Deliver safe, reliable, on-budget service that protects client relationships

Manage by the Numbers

Own and report your division's key metrics weekly
Build and enforce repeatable processes for maintenance and snow operations
Use LMN and related tools to run the business on data, not guesswork

What Success Looks Like

The division consistently hits its revenue and gross-margin targets
Supervisors, account managers, and crews are well-led, well-trained, and accountable
Clients are retained and satisfied, supported by a responsive account management and customer service team
Snow events are executed safely, on time, and on budget
Enhancement revenue grows year over year
The division runs smoothly and proactively, without day-to-day fires reaching ownership

What You Bring

5+ years in green-industry / landscape operations, including 3+ years leading teams through supervisors or managers (e.g., as a Branch Manager, Operations Manager, or Division Manager)
Experience leading client-facing account management and/or customer service functions
Proven experience running or co-running snow & ice operations in a Snowbelt market
A track record of budget and gross-margin accountability
Strong people-leadership skills — hiring, coaching, holding others accountable, and reducing turnover
Proficiency with LMN (Landscape Management Network) for job costing, scheduling, and estimating
Comfort managing an operation by the numbers
Availability for 24/7 responsiveness during snow events
Valid driver's license

Nice to Have
